Hey guys im thinking about getting my hand tattood. Ive already talked with my sm and stuff I have no qualms about getting it done. My question is for any baristas who have had their hand tattood WHILE they were working at starbucks, how you went about keeping it moisturized/covered/not peeling into peoples drinks or food while at work.

Top or palm?

Top/back of my hand. Totally forgot to mention that lol

No worries! The palm will heal quicker. If it’s just script or thin line work it’ll probably heal up without much peeling. If it’s a bigger piece when it gets to the point where it’s peeling to much you could probably throw a fingerless cotton glove over it for your shift and be ok

While I've never had a hand tattoo, or any tattoo for that matter a few of my baristas have.
With how much we're washing our hands now I just wouldn't recommend it. It'll fade and be nearly invisible within weeks.
