Nail Cuticle Tattoos Are the Latest & Most Delicate Trend That’ll Make You Want to Get Inked

People (more like geniuses) are beginning to tattoo beautiful and delicate designs around their nail cuticles.

These tattoos turn what is usually a manicuring pain-in-the-butt into a total work of art.

Don't get these confused with the more well-known finger tattoos that run on the inside of your finger or around your knuckle.
