Hand tattoos

Hands were an important source of information about the person at all times.

It is necessary to admit that ways of self-expression and demonstration of own individuality became much more with the spread of culture of tattoos. And your hand is large enough for drawing. This is a perfect canvas that allows you to implement interesting and complex ideas without any limits.

Hand tattoos are very popular both among women and men. There are several reasons:

• It is a perfect place for the first tattoo: There are certain zones on the hand with moderate sensitivity, which will allow you to get the first tattoo. Without knowing your pain threshold and not being mentally ready for the procedure, the first tattoo may be more painful due to stress.
• Tattoo on the hand is easy and convenient to care for, performing all procedures without additional assistance (which is less real in the case of a tattoo on the back, for example).
• Practical place for tattoo - it can be hidden under the sleeve of a sweater or shirt, which is very important for office workers who dream of tattooing.
• It is possible to make a single drawing, as well as to score a sleeve or half sleeve. Also, you could do a few tattoos on your hand and then combine them together.

Anyway, the tattoo on the hand has many advantages, thanks to which this part of the body is the most popular in terms of tattoos.

As we have already mentioned, that the hand is a great zone for the imagination of the tattoo artist.

The modern development of tattoo art allows you to get it on any part of the body, there are no restrictions in terms of creating a drawing. At the same time, there are some nuances regarding the aftercare and wear of such a tattoo. But let's go in order. So, places to get a tattoo on your hand:

• tattoo on the upper part of the hand or, more simply, on the shoulder;
• inner part of a shoulder;
• the forearm (also the external and internal parts);
• wrist;
• hand;
• fingers;
• palms (rare, but sometimes it happens).

Shoulder (it is about the outer side) and forearm are not only the most popular, but also the most practical places for getting a tattoo. In these areas the sensitivity is lower and this part of the hand does not touch the body. It reduces the irritation of the injured skin. Also, these tattoos can be hidden under clothes if it is necessary (even if you have a sleeve, but only if it does not go beyond the wrist).

The inside part of the shoulder is rarely used as a place for drawings, because it is hidden from prying eyes and suitable for individual small tattoos (for example, inscriptions or small symbolic images).

In addition, the sensitivity is much higher, and the skin is constantly in contact with clothes during movement. While the inner part of the forearm is often chosen as a place for tattoo.

The tattoo on the wrist, especially on the inside part, is very common and there are many variants of sketches. The wrist tattoo is always very symbolic. A small and elegant tattoo is always very beneficial. It is a favorite place for couples tattoos.

Hand tattoos aren’t very common due to pain. But at the same time, they are very popular among young people. This is a responsible step, because such a tattoo is impossible to hide. So, it is important to be very responsible to choose the sketch and a master. The same goes for the finger tattoo.

It is also worth considering the fact that in the open areas of the skin (hands, wrists, fingers and palms) the skin is in constant contact with clothes, soap, water. The result is permanent skin renewal. So, your tattoo in these places may not be as durable as on the more protected areas.

It is important to consult with the master before you get a tattoo on the hands to choose the most successful sketch and technique. But it worth it…

Women’s and girls’ tattoos in most cases embody pleasant emotions, memorable dates or pleasant events, because they encrypt individual values.

And if you want to do something symbolic on your hand, learn about the common meaning of the image before you create a sketch, so as not to get into an awkward situation.

Despite the variety of styles and shapes for women’s tattoos on the hand, women prefer flowers or cute graceful compositions in most cases.

Rose, lotus and lily are among the most popular flowers for gentle tattoos, while small elegant minimalist tattoos show us daisies, poppies, violets and forget-me-nots. Each flower has its own meaning, which often influences the choice of pattern. The meaning of women’s hand tattoos is not as obvious as it may seem at first sight. In addition, own values take the first place in the creation of individual sketches.

Cute animals, birds and fish take the second place among the floral motifs.

Women and girls do not often choose wolves or lions, preferring foxes and cats to them. These animals are bright and truly charismatic personalities. They are creative and feminine natures. Birds can be all kinds of things - from hummingbirds to flamingos.

It is also worth mentioning mythical creatures and stylized zodiac signs. They are not only beautiful, but have deep meanings. For example, a phoenix is a bird symbolizing the rebirth and a new life, the beginning of something new; a unicorn is a yearning for a dream; and a goldfish is a testament to the fulfillment of desire.

Inscriptions do not lose their popularity. Memorable dates and names that update can be done with beautiful fonts.

Watercolor tattoos of birds and animals are very popular nowadays, as well as tattoos in the style of realism. Women can be lost in so many options for tattoos: minimalism, realism, linework and blackwork. New styles are appearing in the life of tattoo lovers and exciting the mind of true fans of tattoo art.
