The Best Hand Tattoos

What kind of tattoos make the best choice for hand tattoos? There are countless images and quotes that would make good choices.

Hand Tattoos - Short Quotes

A small quote either on the back of the hand, side of the hand and the inside of fingers can be an ideal placement for a short quote. A Bollywood actress and singer, Priyanka Chopra recently got a tattoo on the side of her hand that reads ‘Daddy’s Lil Girl’, after her father had passed away from blood cancer.

It is a beautifully done tattoo, perfectly designed, with a profound meaning and placed perfectly. Sheryl Cole also has a delicate tribal tattoo on the outside of her. I think that a tattoo done on the outside of a hand looks so elegantly delicate, its both feminine and there is also a certain sensuality about it. So if you have a short quote or a small sentence that you have in mind and are looking for a place to tattoo it, then the inside of your fingers or the outside of your hand would be a perfect place.

Hand Tattoos - A Number Or Initials

Beyonce does not have any tattoo besides the one on her hand. She has the number 4 inked on her ring finger as she believes this to be a very lucky number for her. It is the day she and her husband, Jay z was born. They planned to get marry on the fourth and she named one of her albums, 4. This tattoo illustrates that numbers or even initials make good hand tattoos, as they will not require much space and they will be also be highlighted when inked on the hand and may go unnoticed on other parts of the body.

Hand Tattoos A Creature That Moves

Hand Tattoos

I really liked the idea of something being inked on the hand which fly’s. So animals like birds, or butterflies, fairies and angels are lovely choices. The reason I like creatures such as these is because out of all body parts, your hand is the part which moves the most, a perfect vehicle for something that is always in flight!

Hand Tattoos - Knuckles

Knuckle tattoos are more common amongst men, as they are more masculine given that one needs to form a punch in order for it to be read well. For knuckle tattoos to be affective, the word need to be within 8 characters or less but the ones that I have seen that are the most effective are the ones that are exactly 8 letters. They create the most impact.

Things To Consider Before Getting Hand Tattoos

Hands, feet and the face pose a problem for many tattoo artists, to the extent, that some tattoo parlors will refuse customers. The reason for this is that hands are most prone to wear, compared to any other body parts. It is the body part that shreds’ the most skin, and the body part which is constantly being washed, and used in general. So the way it looks after it is freshly inked is going to be substantially different after a period of time. Also statically tattoos inked on the hand are the most likely to be removed later on. A tattoo on the hand is the most exposed and may pose a major problem with future employers. And lastly hand tattoos will be the most problematic when it comes to healing. In order for a tattoo to fully heal, a lot of time is required; therefore you pretty much cannot do anything with the hand in concern.
