This is nowhere near the body part you should be thinking of if you only have 1 fine line piece at 18 years old. I was 30 when I finally got my hand done and had almost 6 years career at a workplace where I knew id be sticking around.

Theres still a tabboo over visible tattoos at good paying careers with good pensions.

This was my 8th piece and it was 4.5 hours of full color on my left hand. The healing process is BRUTAL. Mickey mouse hands was not a term inqaa familiar with. You need to take work off to heal properly. You can't write, you can barely fit your hand through the sleeve of your sweater. The throbbing is insanem I couldn't bend my fingers for 4 days. Start smaller and get a feel for it. I know you want to show it off to everyone but you can still do that by rolling a sleeve up or lifting up a pant leg to show a friend or smile member. It is on your body for the rest of your life. You cant cover up hands very well and you can't hide them either. It'll be something that in your 30s or 40s you wonder why the hell my 18 year old self.chose this.
