Features and styles of tattoos on the hand
Before getting a tattoo, you need to study the process and analyze its positive and negative aspects. This is especially true for those who will be doing it for the first time.
A tattoo on the hand for girls (photos of their samples can be seen in salons) can sometimes completely change life, for example:
- the owners of the drawing will attract the attention of men and arouse the envy of their friends;
- For timid natures, a tattoo will become an incentive to start communicating even with strangers. This is especially important for girls in public professions who crave fame and attention to their person;
- a tattoo will be a good decoration that supports a certain image: it cannot be forgotten or lost.
Before getting your chosen tattoo, you should know that the procedure has disadvantages:
- Pain and duration of the procedure. This is especially felt on the hands, where the skin is sensitive and has little cushioning fat layer. The needle often touches the hand, which is associated with severe and sometimes unbearable pain. Those with a low pain threshold should consider getting henna designs done. It will go away quickly, but the procedure itself will not be associated with unpleasant sensations.
- Master's choice. Only a professional can make the drawing uniform, because the skin on the brush is uneven and the image may be distorted. The master will help you choose the right sketch that looks equally good on an open palm and on a hand clenched into a fist.

- Possible bleeding. Care should be taken when drawing on the inside of the wrist, where blood vessels and veins are too close.
- Long healing of skin damage. Considering that hands are washed frequently, this affects the tightening of the injection sites and the brightness of the pattern itself.
- Periodic correction of the drawing. The tattoo becomes distorted over time and therefore requires support and repeated applications.
Briefly about the main thing
Wrist tattoos have become quite popular, especially recently. Previously, when tattoos on the body just began to win the hearts of people, the most popular places for them were the arms, back, and chest. However, in the modern world, the view on the location of tattoos has changed greatly and now images are tattooed in the most unpredictable places.

Previously, they were applied as amulets, amulets and talismans that protected their wearer from possible harm. These were mostly black and white tattoos, but over time, colored inks were gradually introduced.
Today, tattoos are more than just a picture. This is a way to change your image, add zest to it and become brighter, impressing people. With the help of such tattoos, people express themselves, reveal their character traits and loudly declare their personality to the whole world. Many people don’t just get beautiful tattoos on their hands, but write words and texts, and put a certain meaning into them.
How to choose the location and size of a tattoo
Hands are always visible, so it is not recommended to make large drawings on them. It is enough to use a small and simple image. This will highlight the delicacy of the fragile wrist and show off the graceful long fingers. The choice of padding location is also very important.
A hand tattoo for girls (the photo of the choice of designs should be clear and neat) is placed on the back of the hand. If the fingers are not too long and thin, a large pattern will only emphasize the flaw. Oriental patterns, beloved by many girls, should be chosen with caution: despite their beauty and exoticism, they are not suitable for every look. If this is a glamorous girl who prefers a sporty style, then the romantic notes of the east will look ridiculous on her.
The designs on the wrist are small patterns that simply highlight the grace of the hand. The duration of its application depends on the size and location of application.
The main thing at the end of the procedure:
- Treat the skin with an antiseptic.
- Remove excess paint.
- Cover the tattoo site with a special bandage.
As a rule, the damage heals completely within 2 weeks. On average, the cost of a small drawing is about 4,000 rubles. It depends on the complexity of the design and its size.
If the work was performed by a high-class specialist, you don’t have to worry about unpleasant consequences. It is enough to follow his recommendations and after 10 days you can show off your stylish design.
The first time after getting a tattoo you will have to give up the following pleasures:
- visits to the bathhouse, solarium and sauna;
- drinking alcoholic beverages;
- exercises with weights on the hands.
You should not wash your hands often, especially with alkaline soap, and tear off the crust that has formed on the wounds. After washing your hands, you should use a special ointment recommended by the specialist.
It is prohibited for persons who have an allergic reaction to paint components and substances contained in wound treatment products to get tattoos. You definitely need to tell the specialist about this, who will be able to select hypoallergenic compounds.
Wrist tattoos

Wrist tattoos
Color palette
Among the popular and fashionable tattoos for girls, the following techniques stand out:
| Technique | Description |
| Mehendi | Arabic women's ritual drawings, attractive with their beauty and unusual execution. Such designs are short-lived, because they are made with henna, which is quickly washed off. |
| White | Drawings that sometimes look like marks from wounds, but at the same time create a volume effect with a clear outline. You can only fully understand what is drawn up close. |
| Paired drawings | As a rule, they are done by 2 people (a guy and a girl) in the same place (usually the hands). Tattoos can be completely repeated or complement each other. |
Drawings can be done in black and white or color. The first option will appeal to those who like restraint. A tattoo like this will suit any costume and stylistic look.
The following options look attractive:
- A short inscription on a thin girl’s wrist, executed subtly. You should first check the correct spelling of hieroglyphs: any mistake can change the meaning of the written text.
- White lace tattoos are women's jewelry. They are almost invisible on the body and it looks as if paint was injected under the skin. For such a tattoo, it is better to choose elegant designs in the form of woven bracelets, bows or ribbons. To enhance the effect, the tattoo should contrast with the girl’s skin tone. Invisible in daylight, lace appears in the flickering of spotlights or a tan field.
- White tattoos in the form of inscriptions or hieroglyphs. Making such drawings is difficult; only a high-class professional can cope with this task. After all, any thickening will look like a skin defect that disfigures it.
Colored tattoos are the most common. With their help, you can create complex and three-dimensional images consisting of a large number of details. Typically these are images in the form of birds, insects or animals, as well as in the form of one or more flowers.
You should understand: the color pigment fades faster, so it will need to be corrected. This is due to the fact that the paint is located almost on the surface of the skin and is practically not protected from the aggressive effects of chemicals and the external environment.
Other options
Hand tattoos for girls (there are a huge number of photos of drawings, inscriptions and images) have a large assortment. For example, abstract tattoos look organic on a delicate wrist and evoke pleasant associations, even without a specific meaning.
There are several style solutions for making patterns on the hand:
| Style | Description |
| Indian | Includes ornaments of Indians and other peoples who inhabited America in ancient times. They are symbols of strength, dexterity, speed of reaction, and wisdom. |
| Biomechanics | The drawing looks like three-dimensional (3D). When you look at it, you create the illusion that it is moving. |
| Ethno | It uses motifs from Russian applied crafts (Khokhloma or Palekh), as well as patterns from other peoples of Russia. |
| Polynesian | Drawings used in ritual actions of tribes living on the Pacific Islands. It is believed that they have a magical charge and are able to protect a person from troubles and give him good luck. |
| Tribal | Solid black or gray geometric pattern. Such designs are gradually losing their popularity, but sometimes self-confident girls choose them. |
| Celtic | Crosses and knots used in the culture of this people are symbols of the unity of spirit and body and the constant improvement of their vision of the world. |
| Indian paintings | Suitable for those who believe that mandalas are capable of developing the work of the necessary chakras and exchange energy with the Universe. |
| Asian characters | These include lotus flowers, terrifying dragons and other attributes of oriental culture. All of them bear the stamp of spiritual rebirth and are capable of helping the owner achieve enlightenment. |
| Black work | This style can rarely be seen among girls, because the area under the design is completely filled with black paint, which creates difficulties in creating a delicate image or a business style. |
| Geometric designs | One of the trendy options for modern fashion. Despite the lack of a specific meaning, tattoos look impressive. |
It is important to choose the ideal option, for which it is better to first imagine the design you like on your hand or see it on another person. You can ask the master to draw an individual pattern based on the story that matches the character of the customer.
In the modern world, tattoos are worn not only by men and women, but also by young girls. For them, tattoos have a special romantic meaning, and are not just a fashionable way of decoration.
Neat, not too flashy drawings can emphasize the individuality of a young girl. Any tattoo should carry a meaning, therefore, before choosing photos of drawings and images on the hand, you need to consult with your parents.
