Comment on Do fingers ever stop growing? Do they shrink as you get older?

If the old people in my family are representative of the general population, your knuckles will keep growing and your fingers will start to bend at odd angles, and will seem to grow longer as your hand meat recedes. The skin will get looser and the ruler lines won’t be as accurate. Also, finger skin doesn’t hold tattoo ink that well, so it will probably be a messy blur by the time you have significant physiological changes to your hands.
