Tattoos are becoming more and more popular every day. Having long lost their symbolism, for most people tattoos are a way to express themselves, give originality to their appearance and attract the attention of others. have been particularly popular lately finger tattoos, on the edge of the hand and on the palms.
On the Internet, you can find a fairly simple explanation for this: finger tattoos are considered the best choice for people who do not want to draw on another part of the body. Such a tattoo is not as striking as a large image, it looks original and is noticeable to others. However, the option is not without drawbacks. As an expert in tattooing, I would like you to think about the consequences of getting a tattoo on one of the areas of the hands.
The phalanges of the fingers are constantly in motion, since any person does almost all the work with his hands. Constant movements, due to which the skin is shifted, will cause the pigment (dye) to “float” or “fall out”, since the skin of the hands is updated much faster than the skin on other parts of the body. A bright clear picture after a rather short time will be smeared, turning into an obscure image. This process does not depend on the skill of the tattoo artist, or on the quality of the paint used, or on the size of the needle. Of course, you can contact a tattoo artist for correction, or not contact a specialist, but the tattoo will smear over time anyway.
Price tattoos on the edge of the palm or on the phalanges of the fingers is quite high (average in Novosibirsk is 2000 rubles). When ordering a tattoo, you are counting on a result that you are unlikely to get for that kind of money. Since the first thought would be the intention to correct the image, then you pay another 2000-3000 rubles. Regardless of which correction option you choose (going to the tattoo artist, or to another specialist with payment according to the price list), the costs will increase significantly. After a year, the image will fade and you will want to return the tattoo to its former brightness, which will also cost a considerable amount. As a result, a small crown or heart on the edge of the palm or on the phalanx of the finger will cost the cost of a larger and more interesting image.
Imagine that you put the name of your husband or loved one on the phalanx of your finger, thinking that your relationship is forever and you will not part. But a couple of years passed, the feelings faded away or turned out to be an illusion, but the inscription on the hand remained. And every day you see the name of a person who annoys you. What can be done in such a case? There are two options for solving the problem:
Both options are quite costly and unpleasant.
Let's try to deal with the statement that tattoos applied to the phalanges of the fingers or the edge of the palm are original, look playful and creative. This statement is as far from the truth as the previous ones. The image on the skin of the hands cannot be large by definition, therefore, tattoo customers have to limit themselves to minimalistic primitive images in the form of colored flowers, hearts, inscriptions, crowns of various shapes or anchors. A simplified version of such images are the contours of the same flowers and hearts, applied using black or colored paint. Inscriptions are applied in the same way, for the most part representing names, mottos or appeals.
Frankly speaking, such images are associated, especially if the phalanges of the fingers are chosen as the place for tattooing, with a prison tattoo. The popularity of the game, which consists in guessing how many times the wearer of a prison tattoo has been in prison, how long ago it was and what he was in prison for, has not completely exhausted itself. The habit of people to think stereotypically or stereotyped will cause you to hear questions about “zek rings” on your fingers quite often. Over time, when the image begins to fade and blur, the questions will become permanent, since few people will be able to discern the original in the erased image. Correcting images on your hands constantly is a troublesome task and does not justify itself, and the correction will require impressive costs. Not everyone will agree to pay a double or triple price for the dubious pleasure of admiring a rather primitive image for several months.
There are many places on the human body suitable for an original and high-quality tattoo. You should not, chasing fashion, do something that you later regret. I treat my clients with respect and value them, trying to do my best to ensure that they enjoy my work. That is why I do not want and will not get tattoos in places not intended for this.
A few decades ago, tattoos were hallmark people involved in crime in any way. Tattoos made it possible to read a whole biography of a person. A tattoo on the palm in the criminal world is not as common as on other parts of the body. However, they also met.
Today, a tattoo on the palm of any person is stylish, beautiful and original. And only people of advanced age fall into a fainting state, seeing such hands in young people.
So, in more detail. on the palm is most often associated with the patterned Indian technique of applying henna. Therefore, such drawings are often found in women. By the way, getting a tattoo on the palm of your hand is a relatively painless procedure. True, before deciding on it, it is worth thinking about the drawing seven times. After all, they will have to admire all their lives.
A well-done palm tattoo always looks very attractive. This is a great place to draw. After all, with a change in weight and with age, the skin is much less susceptible to changes. Recently, small tattoos on the fingers have become more and more common among young people. It can be symbols or some inscriptions.
Not only fingers, but also the back of the hand is a kind of "greetings from the past." Often such tattoos were stuffed with soldiers and sailors. Identification marks and brief inscriptions were applied there. Looking at such a tattoo, a former military man can always easily determine in which troops its owner served.
Tattoos on the palms and fingers are very often performed by professional craftsmen. Despite the fact that many are sure that the skin in these places will be updated quite quickly, and, accordingly, the image may lose its clarity.
In general, it is quite difficult to surprise someone with such body jewelry as a tattoo on the palm of your hand on the side. Photos of various drawings and inscriptions can be seen in any catalog of each professional master. There are male and female images among them.
Modern men, for example, often try to express their personal life position in this way. Tattoos made in Soviet times, as mentioned above, carry information about military service (years of service, unit number, etc.), the name of the beloved woman, etc. Today, on the palms of men, you can find wolves, tigers, snakes , tongues of flame. There are also very small images - an anchor, a diamond, a crown.
Masters claim that most of their clients are women. For the fairer sex, tattoos are a sign of sexuality and a way of self-expression. In the palm of their hand, they meet fairies, elves, butterflies, broken hearts, or the names of their beloved men. Sometimes Celtic motifs and astrological symbols are also stuffed.
In addition, the so-called protective properties of tattoos are also important for women. Ladies often try to perpetuate the most important dates in their lives in their palms. For example, birthday or wedding date.
Popular images are also various inscriptions, swallows, treble clef. They are also made on the palms for lovers. That is, similar drawings or names. This choice is very serious, so you need to be extremely careful.
Many people believe that a tattoo on the palm side or in the center, on the fingers, and also on the sole can wear off over time. Actually, this is not true. After all, the paint is deep under the layer of skin. It can only be erased with sandpaper. In such tattoos, small gaps can sometimes be noticeable. They appear immediately after healing. After that, the appearance of the image does not change. And gaps arise only due to the fact that the paint did not get to the required depth.
A tattoo is not just a drawing on the body. This is a way of self-expression, emphasizing individuality. Tattoos often carry a sacred meaning, serve as a talisman or a reminder of an important event. Men's tattoos are designed to emphasize the strength, masculinity, will and brutality of their owner.
Men in most cases prefer large tattoos, so they choose places where a three-dimensional pattern will fit.
Common places for tattoos in men:
Tattoos on the arm for men most often done at the top. The shoulder is considered a universal place for this. The pattern emphasizes the power of the biceps, and a correctly stuffed pattern will also “come to life” from the play of the muscles. For application on the shoulder, large images are best suited: animals, ornaments, etc.
If the plans include tattooing on the back, chest or neck, then you should think about the integrity of the plot. So that the pattern on the shoulder smoothly passes to another zone.
The forearm, as a place for underwear, is popular because of the low sensitivity of this area to pain and openness to prying eyes. All kinds of inscriptions and quotes are suitable for application on the forearm. On the wrist, men often make a closed tattoo that wraps around the entire wrist. These can be images of watches, ornaments, bracelets, a growing forest, etc. Men also put small designs on their wrists, such as barcodes, inscriptions, and other small symbols. The wrists are sensitive to pain.
Male wrist and forearm tattoo
Caviar has become a favorite place for tattoos recently. They can beat the tattoo both on one leg and on both. A paired pattern is applied to the calves, one plot, broken into two legs or unrelated tattoos, but made in the same style. The drawing is most often large, sometimes it is applied to the entire lower leg. It is believed that the calves are not very sensitive to pain.
A large pattern is also stuffed on the hips, representing a whole plot or images in the same style. Such a pattern can be located both on the front of the thigh, and close the leg completely. It hurts the most on the inside of the thigh. On the front and on the outside of the thigh, the sensation of pain is tolerable.
The back is the largest place for a tattoo. Entire plot pictures, military battles, or just a large image of something are usually applied to the back. Due to the flat surface, the back is most convenient for tattooing.
The back is a painful place, as there are a lot of nerve endings along the spine. And you need to keep in mind that it will be inconvenient to take care of a tattoo on your back yourself.
Universal place for male tattoo also is the chest. The size of the chest area allows you to fill large-scale paintings. Men most often fill tattoos in the upper chest, emphasizing the breadth and power of the shoulders and sternum. Due to the presence of pectoral muscles, this is a fairly painless place. Exception: nipple areola, collarbone area, armpits, these places are quite sensitive.
If you plan to build pectoral muscles, then the tattoo should be postponed until muscle mass is gained. Otherwise, if a tattoo is done before an increase in muscle volume, then it will stretch and this will spoil its appearance.
A tattoo on the neck can be either a continuation of other tattoos or a separate image. These tattoos can be small or large. The neck is almost always in full view of others, this should be taken into account when choosing a sketch. The neck is a rather painful place for pricking.
Large-scale tattoos are gaining popularity, covering the whole body with a pattern. Such a tattoo can begin on the foot and end on the neck. An example of a large-scale “sleeve” tattoo, a pattern stuffed on the entire arm, can go to the back or chest, represents one plot.
According to the popularity of themes for tattoos, we can distinguish:
Lion - victory, nobility, justice, pride.
The wolf is a symbol of strength, courage, loyalty, bravery and freedom.
Bear. The raging bear means strength, courage, power, courage. Calm bear - wisdom, confidence.

The current reality has made the tattoo culture extremely popular and accessible - in every, even the smallest city, there are several professional tattoo parlors. Kolshchiki arrange fests and matser-classes for the exchange of experience. Modern youth loves to tattoo on the arm (its inner side), the back of the head, and the legs, often without stopping at these places.
A tattoo on the inside of the arm can be called a tattoo for the humble. Such a drawing does not look catchy.
In the case of formal work, it can be covered with long-sleeved clothing, and also hidden by simply pressing the arm to the body. In the case of a party or just free time, on the contrary, it can be emphasized with the right outfit.
A big plus (especially for those who made a tattoo for the first time) is that the owner of the drawing can easily admire it, as it is constantly in front of their eyes.
This place of drawing does not carry a sacred meaning. The tattoo is interpreted depending on the image itself. The inside of the arm is a versatile place where the tattoo owner can express just about anything.
You should know that the hand is a very mobile part of the body, and you need to carefully select the image on its inner part. Otherwise, the picture may skew when changing the position of the hand, and it will look ugly, and in the worst case, even funny. 
An important aspect that worries a person before applying a tattoo is the pain of the process itself. The inner side of the arm cannot be attributed to the most painful parts of the body (for example, like the shoulder blade, abdomen, lower back), but the procedure cannot be called painless and imperceptible either.
The skin on this part of the body is thin, therefore, if the master clogs the paint deeply, then you will have to endure considerable pain, gritting your teeth for a while. The most painful segment is the wrist and inner part elbow, since the skin there is as thin as possible, and the bone is very close.
The tattoo on the inside of the arm is very comfortable and stylish The thin skin of the inner side of the hand also dictates certain conditions for choosing a pattern. You should not stuff an image with a lot of small details, because after a couple of years the paint can “spread” and the tattoo will become unreadable and ugly.
Tattoos located on the inside of the arm have gained maximum popularity among women. As a rule, if a man has made one tattoo on his arm, then he transfers it to a completely clogged sleeve as soon as possible. A woman can often stop at one picture.
A tattoo on this side of the arm has a number of advantages for girls, such as:
Despite the advantages, many girls find some disadvantages in such a place for a tattoo:
Despite the contradictions, according to tattoo artists, most often girls prefer this area when applying a tattoo.
The choice of the inner surface of the biceps is the prerogative of men. Girls rarely choose this place for a tattoo, despite the minimal pain and practicality. The fact is that the skin in this area is very supple, so the applied drawings heal quickly, do not deform even over time and with changes in the owner's body weight.
Tattoos located on the inside of the arm in the shoulder area, namely on the biceps, as a rule, tend to express and emphasize the strength of the owner. Drawing with its outlines repeats the shape of the body, visually increasing the size of the muscles and demonstrating the power and aggression of the owner. 
However, there is another approach to the interpretation of this place for tattooing. Girls choose the inside of the shoulder on the left side in order to apply a drawing with a very deep personal meaning. Such a tattoo is located very close to the heart and retains something very important in memory, leaving an imprint on the entire life path of the owner.
Completed pictures are stuffed on the inside of the forearm. It should be a holistic sketch that expresses a specific idea.
Such a work contains a message that the owner of the drawing can open to both everyone and a select few. The image on this part of the hand is designed to motivate and guide the girl through life.

Such an image allows you to take a closer look at the drawing and determine whether you need to switch to a permanent option.

Sketches of tattoos on the palms for girls are sentimental and romantic. It is here that at first glance, uncomplicated drawings are located, the meaning of which is known only to the hostess. The palm is almost invisible to others, so sometimes it is not possible to see the image. By the way, this is exactly what celebrities use. For example, Angelina Jolie got a tattoo in the form of the letter M in honor of the suddenly deceased mother Marcheline. In a strange way, the drawing disappeared immediately after journalists noticed it.
The procedure for applying a tattoo directly to the palm is one of the most painless. Tattoo artists and their clients rate it one on a scale of 1 to 10. This is a significant advantage, so beginners can safely go to the tattoo parlor.

Any master will warn you that tattoos on the palms are short-lived.
