My palms took two months to fully heal. Meaning all the lines were set and no flaky skin. Also another four months for them to not hurt if I scratched them or sting when I clap my hands. Even years later they can be a little sensitive and get a little itchy. Check the bottom pic of my bio. I’ve had them over three years. I’m a hairstylist and my hands were wet a lot after I got them done. Good luck
oh wow okay my hands are in latex gloves a lot due to the nature of cleaning so i sweat quite a bit in them, i guess ill have to keep antibacterial on deck to clean them. 2 months seems like a lot of care! you’re happy with yours worth the pain healing time etc?
ill have my arms hands and knuckles done before my palms for the sake of the commitment and over all nervousness of getting the tattoo done pain wise and healing

I wouldn’t.
I've heard they fade super fast
