Hi Elliott,
Up to the wrist is considered to be part of your bat. So if it hits your finger and goes on correctly it is still in play.
The rule changed recently so that even if you make a double hit where the ball hits both your finger and the bat on the way through it is still a good hit.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
