Tattoo Male on the hands: meaning and sketches for girls and men

For a long time in our country, tattoos on the brush remained a privilege of a group of people who had been in places of deprivation of liberty. Therefore, the sketches of tattoos were very peculiar. But for ten years, tattooed brushes have become the hallmark of bikers, rock musicians, informal people and representatives of creative professions. Now there is a wide variety of thematic options, and the tattoos themselves on the brush are perceived as amulets or a way to clearly declare themselves. However, we must remember that a tattoo on the brush is a serious decision, taking which there will be no way back.

Features of tattooing on the hands

Despite the apparent prostate, male tattoos on the hands are among the most difficult at every stage. This type of body painting is distinguished by a number of features:

• it is impossible to hide a tattoo on the brush, so you will have to immediately abandon the civil service and some professions;
• due to the absence of a fat layer and muscle tissue, pain in the hand area is the strongest. People with a high pain threshold are not recommended to do such tattoos;
• age-related skin changes most affect the brush. When choosing a sketch, you need to be prepared for the fact that over time the drawing will change its outlines;
• the recovery period on the brushes takes up to one month. And it is extremely difficult to take care of a tattoo here;
• during the healing period, men will have to give up physical exertion. Training and work activities related to arm tension are contraindicated;
• after the restoration of the skin, it is necessary to regularly treat the surface with sunscreens to reduce the rate of pigment burnout;
• the tattoo on the brush is always in the center of attention, so the hands should always be well-groomed;
• you will have to update the drawing on the brush 2-3 times more often than on other parts of the body. The pain and the cost of re-visiting the tattoo parlor will remain the same.

Considering all the above arguments, not every man decides to make a tattoo on a brush. Which is a good way to emphasize your individuality, to stand out from the general mass.

Popular tattoo styles on men's hands

The choice of style depends on the way of thinking, preferences of the customer. But the bulk of the works of famous tattoo artists in this area are performed in such styles as:

1. The blackwork. One of the most popular brutal styles for men with a strong character. When implementing it, only black pigment is used, and the volume of the image is created due to shadows and penumbra. To prevent the picture from merging into a solid flat image, you need to trust professionals with extensive experience to work on sketches in the blackwork style.
2. Dwork. Another style for fans of black pigment. In contrast to the blackwork, it assumes drawings of neutral content and leaves more white (unbroken) space. Drawings in this technique are light, voluminous, dynamic.
3. Old school. For those who believe in the canons of the true tattoo, they prefer the classics in everything. Old School is a color two-dimensional images of a small size. The style involves the use of" pure " tones. But it is not recommended to combine more than 3-4 colors in one drawing.
4. Polynesia or ornamental. Rich black patterns with clear lines, recreating the ancient ornaments of the peoples of Oceania and Australia. It is impractical to score only a brush with such a pattern. Polynesian patterns are good for continuing the sleeve.
5. Ethnika. Recently, ethnic patterns have become very popular. Celtic (Scandinavian) themes are in demand among men. Individual images of runes, knots and other small ornaments look good on the back of the brush. As for the color, it is also invariably black tattoos.
6. Biomechanics and bioorganics. A very effective style that naturalistically conveys the presence of a mechanical skeleton or part of another foreign creature under the human skin.
7. Watercolour. The brush of the hand does not give a scope for full-fledged paintings. In this case, it is better to use watercolors not as a background, but as a valuable drawing with bright, but blurred contours.
8. Minimalism. Concise images with clear lines, not overloaded with numerous details, look great on the hands. As for the color, you can choose any palette, but it is important to stay within one or two shades.

Depending on the skill of the builder, you can make small 3D drawings, miniatures in a realistic style, Japanese or anime on the brush. Special attention should be paid to tattoos on the hands, which are a continuation of the sleeve. In this case, you need to maintain the general style and plan the overall picture in advance.

Sketches of male tattoos on the hands

You need to pay special attention to the selection of the picture, since this drawing will always be in sight throughout your life. Therefore, you should not prick the name of a loved one on the brush or give in to a momentary impulse.

The brush is not suitable for large-scale works or paintings with many small details that can merge into one smeared spot. When choosing sketches of male tattoos on the hands, it is advisable to choose medium-sized drawings with soft drawing of lines.

You also need to immediately decide on the size and location:

• palm edge;
• the entire outer surface of the brush;
• the area around the thumb;
• tattoo on a part of the hand with a transition to the fingers or wrist.

However, you can also go from the opposite: choose the image you like, and then together with the master discuss the best option for its location on the brush and the possibility of adapting it to this part of the hand. To ease the agony of choice, below are the most spectacular and popular sketches.

Inscriptions

Men's tattoos on the hands of the inscription can be safely attributed to a separate category of tattoos, the demand for which never ends. As a rule, in male tattoos, the inscription is oriented either along the edge of the palm, or in the area of the knuckles. Sometimes small slogans are placed all over the back of the palm, using large fonts and "alignment" in the center.

The content of the inscription, as well as the choice of font, depends on personal preferences. In most cases, the inscription reflects a life credo or a stable expression that characterizes the owner's worldview and motivates him to great achievements. They also fill in significant dates, love messages, religious phrases, names of military units, blood type, the name of a favorite character, etc.

A distinctive feature of the inscriptions on the hands is the use of Latin or Cyrillic letters. Hieroglyphs for writing on this part of the hand are used extremely rarely and are usually arranged in the form of a column from the wrist to the little finger or ring finger.

Flora and fauna

The second most popular place among the images is shared by birds, animals and plants:

1. As for birds, the leadership is for eagles, owls, crows and small birds for miniature pictures. There are a great many image options: from a full-color eagle on the entire brush to a miniature hummingbird, modestly hovering in the corner next to the little finger. You can also beat the image by placing the bird's beak on the phalanges of the fingers. Each bird has its own meaning, but in a general sense it is freedom of will and spirit, not the desire to live within the framework of public opinion.
2. Animals are associated with character traits, so most people fill lions (this is also a symbol of love), tigers, wolves, bears, elephants. Sometimes there are interesting images of frogs, horses or dogs. The last option is most interesting in a stylized form under the ancient god of the Egyptians-Anubis. The variation of the image is also of considerable importance. For example, a grin is a clear sign of aggression, while a calm expression indicates the strength of spirit and restraint of the owner.
3. Insects and arthropods are also often found on the hands and, mainly, play the role of a mascot. For example, the Egyptian scarab is one of the guardians of the afterlife, or the bee is Bonaparte's talisman and a symbol of hard work. Often, images of night moths, dragonflies or lucky ladybirds appear on the hands. But spiders or scorpions are the choice of mysterious and dangerous men.
4. Plants are considered a more feminine theme, but many of them occupy a worthy place among male tattoos, especially among creative people. Laurel branches, clover leaves stuffed for happiness, as well as roses, peonies or dandelions, symbolizing the transience of life, are popular. Those who are familiar with eastern cultures are more impressed with lotus flowers or sakura.

True philosophers choose images of marine animals, which also give room for imagination. For example, an aggressive shark, a mysterious seahorse, a friendly dolphin or a wise snail.

Characters

Any symbolism can be attributed here: symbols of faith of ancient civilizations, modern religious signs or a drawing of an object that gives strength. It is also worth noting the images of the zodiac signs and symbolic drawings:

• the heart symbolizes love and vitality;
• skull – the immortality of the soul and the corruption of the body;
• eye-secret knowledge (association with Masonic symbols);
• ankh (or the key of life) is an Egyptian symbol of power;
• the wind rose indicates the fearlessness of the owner;
• the feather symbolizes the lightness of nature and spirituality;
• compass helps in finding the right answers and the right solutions;
• the sun-gives strength and energy;
• the moon is a sign of mystery and hidden desires.

You also need to limit physical activity (if you need to use your hands) and going to the gym. Otherwise, the use of specialized creams and gentle treatment will help to restore metabolic processes in the tissues faster.
