Answer
First of all you need to decide what you want doing and whereabouts on your hand you would like it. Make sure that you think about the design for quite some time before you decide to get it done. Also bear in mind that the hand is a very visible place and, unfortunately, people do judge others based on visible tattoo's (it can even prevent you from getting a job, although they will not tell you that this is the reason why!).
All tattoo's hurt, anyone who says otherwise is a liar or just trying to make themselves look 'big'. The pain variation is different for everyone and it can hurt more depending on where you get it on your body. I have not had one done on my hand but have a full back piece, a half sleeve in progress and one at the top of my leg - all of which have been painful but never excutiating. The sensation is like a cat scratch to start off with and then after a while it feels like sunburn. It becomes more of an annoyance than anything else after so long because you get bored of just sitting there but, as long as it is done correctly by an experienced professional, then the end result is more than worth it. If you are just after a small butterfly on your hand, depending on the size, it shouldn't take too long. When it is done you just need to follow your tattoo artist's instruction on aftercare to ensure that you do not damage your tattoo.
Make sure that you do plenty of research on different artists, get recommendations and whoever has recommended you ask to see work that they have received from that artist so that you can see for yourself. Do not go for the cheap artists, good tattoo materials are not cheap therefore good quality tattoo's should not be cheap. Also make sure you go to someone with a waiting list rather than just a walk-in studio. This is normally a good indication that they have some credibility. Don't be afraid to ask any tattoo artist about their experience, how long they have been doing it, to look at their portfolio, where they received their training (most artists have been trained by other artists, there is no such thing as a tattoo course in college or uni). Any artist worth their salt will be more than happy to provide this information in order to put your mind at rest. Also ensure that you see them open up needles from sterile packaging when you get it done in order to ensure that they are not re-using needles.

Tattoo artist put EVIL CROSS INSTEAD OF GOOD ONE on my hand help!!!!!!?
Knhvbhh
Hello guys... I'm a 18 year old female and just recently got a 3rd tattoo at the shop. I told the artist to put a small cross on the side of my hand ...when it was all done it looked like he messed up....but maybe it meant something else .the bottom part of the cross is skinnier and longer and the top is wider with uneven sides , left is longer than right side and slightly slanded IS IT EVIL WHAT DOES IT MEAN PLEASE HELP!:/!!!!! I can't find or anywhere in google
Answer
What do you man by "evil" cross? There's no "evil" symbol that looks so similar to the Christian cross, the closest thing to a cross that actual Satanists use is the alchemical symbol for sulphur.

Hand tattoos are terrible to heal so it's likely that some of the lines have partially dropped out or blown out under the skin. This can easily happen before healing is even complete. If this is the case, you can go back and ask for a touch up. Most shops offer the first touch up for free, though some don't do free touch ups on hand tattoos because they're so hit and miss.
It's also possible that the artist did a bad job. If this is the case, I personally wouldn't go back to them. Find a different artist whose portfolio you're happy with and have them fix it for you. Please bear in mind that there's often very little that can be done for hand tattoos, and I would advise against a cover up (cover ups need to be bigger and darker than the original tattoo). Alternatively, you could get laser removal.
You will not be able to sue the artist or the shop if you signed a waiver (which you most likely did).
