Why does Michael wear bandaids on his fingers?

He actually started wearing the tape on his fingers before filming Moonwalker and any of the Bad Era videos, and explained in an interview why he wore them. The white tape catches the light so that when he performs on stage, people who are higher up and farther back can see his hands. The same goes for his trademark white socks. Wearing white socks is an old dancer's trick that he picked up from Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Again, it draws the audience's eye to his feet so they can follow his dancing easier.

To put it short, it was a fashion statement. Michael Bush said so.

while he was doing the moonwalker version of smooth criminal, he thought of it to build to the charater. It happened unexpectly Frank Dileo came in one day saw him putting tape on his fingers and asked why he was doing that, he said that it adds on to his charater. Then it became a trade mark.
Godf bless you all

Oooooooooh i get it now i always wondered why he wore banaids too i thought it was his fashion or something.

he was hiding white skin of his fingers cause vitiligo

i think it was because of vitiligo. My mom said when she was young, the tape was very popular so he started to wear them as some kind of his style.

don't know but it's his part of style so i like that

He started to wear them as a statement. He used them for the first time in the video : leave me alone

I think it's about vitiligo because I saw them in speed demon
