I used to do fingertip pushups all the time (on the pads), and I never had a problem with my fingers hurting. Just don't overdo it, when your fingers get to "that point" just stop and do regular or fist pushups. The whole point of fingertip pushups is to make your fingers stronger, and it works well (I had a monster grip).
