You have (probably) 10 fingers, thus base 10.

If you ignore the thumbs, each finger has 3 subsections, so in total you have 12 "slots" on your hand. And you can use them to count with the spare thumb. It's even more convenient than counting on fingers because you're only using one hand, and the other one is free!
