Hand Tattoos

[graybones]

I love a good back piece or a solid sleeve, but my obsession is hand tattoos. Here are a few of my favorites from the collection I have saved on my computer.

Tim Hendricks

Seth Wood

Ron Wells

Ashley Love

Annie Frenzel

Peter Lagergren

Peter Lagergren again

I'd love to see some other favorites, or hand tattoos that LST members have!

Nice pics. I really like flowers tattooed on the hands, I'm not currently at a stage in my life where I can tattoo my hands, but maybe one day. Also interested to members hand tattoos and how it affected other aspects of their lives, if at all.

[Avery Taylor]

These are my hands. The bird by Bailey Robinson and the panther by Steve Byrne. The knuckles and little guys were done by Vinse One. Actually Matt Arriola did the anchor.

My 3 year old niece wants to grow up to be a badass. Tattoos by Pixar, I believe.

If I was to get hand tattoos Alex Binnie would be my go to guy .

[Barraclough]

Mine

[Mark Bee]

I wish I could do this - there are some really great tattoos here.

I say this all the time. I can get away with a lot of coverage because I wear a shirt and tie every day, but I would love to get my hands done someday. I always tell my wife that the day that I retire I'll be going to get my hands done. If PA teacher pension/retirement holds out for me, it should be in about 27 years. But who's counting?

I love flowers on the hands and I also really like this ...

Jondix

Gerhard Wiesbeck

[spookysproul]

That Wiesbeck hand is stunning! I'm particularly fond of the big black right above it.

[huggernaut]

I'm not sure I'll ever do my hands, but perfectly fitting hand tattoos are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.

I've seen that Hendricks one before. So good.

Since eventually I'll be on disability, which is a huge bummer, I'm planning on "celebrating" the fact with hand tattoos.

Right now I'm thinking Steve Byrne for that, but I'm hoping to work for about 10 more years, so there's no telling who I'll be wanting my hands done by when it happens.

It'll be my gift to myself.

[Vinn]

I waited a long time to have my hands done. I guess it helps that my municipal job is outdoors and 90% of the time I have to wear gloves due to safety rules.

[Genie of the West]

this is my favorite hand tattoo ever. Love how the sleeve transitions flawlessly onto the top of the hand.

This is just a random picture I saw from reddit that I saved on my computer. I don't know who did this or where it was done.

How does one "like" and "not-like" a post at the same time?

Thomas Hooper does my favourite squidmitts. A couple of examples stolen from his instagram:

How does one "like" and "not-like" a post at the same time?

I thought the same thing. Its a big life-changing event when you can't work any longer. I was close with my back injury for a while.

I will be celebrating my retirement with a hand tattoo for sure.

[Gregor]

I love hand mandalas.

[TaeTae]

Those hand mandalas are so good. Makes me want a mandala.

All-time favorite is on a friend of mine, mostly because of how silly it is. What do gorillas think about? Bananas, duh. By Drew Rash.

Additionally, here are three I've seen on Instagram recently that I've loved.

Another Tim Hendricks. Squeezing a readable ROA on there blows my mind.

Grez. Does it get better than classic roses on a hand?

Grime. And to totally tweak out the classic rose, a rose skull morph.

[graybones]

wow great pics everyone. @Graeme "squidmitts"! Hah!

I don't generally seek out dotwork so those Jondix, Weisbeck, and Hooper hands are completely blowing my mind right now. Amazing!

Unfortunately if I am ever able to get my hands done, it won't be for several decades. But in the meantime, here's a couple more on other people.

Rich Hardy

Woah!!! That ROA! How did he fit that and make it look so good? True talent.

Beautiful. OTOH?

@JBHoren, I don't know what OTOH? Sorry. My internet slang must be slippin!

<grin> It's a joke: OTOH means "on the other hand"
