50 Best Hand Tattoos For Women - From Rihanna To Cara Delevingne
All the inspiration you need before getting some ink.
Elaborate hand tattoos have been popular amongst male football players and singers for decades. But a new trend of intricate and dainty hand designs have taken over the internet in recent years with the likes of Rihanna and Hailey Bieber embracing the strategically-placed ink. And it’s not hard to see why hand tattoos for women are on the rise.
'It seems to have become a thing that people from all walks of life can get into,' says Charlie Wulfbaron, Tattoo Artist at South City Market. 'With the rise of celebrities and public figures sporting visible hand tattoos, to tattoo models becoming a lot more mainstream than they once were. We’ve come to realise that visible tattoos don’t affect the person, and that it’s another way we can express ourselves and show a little more of our identity.'
The healing process of every tattoo is different, especially as we all heal at different speeds and getting a hand tattoo is no different. Charlie advises 'keeping them super clean, moisturised (there’s a variety of tattoo creams out there), and pay attention to them a little. The healing process can make all the difference in how your tattoo will look once healed. If you let it scab too much, pick at it, and wash it with a harsh cleaner or anything like that it can lose its vibrancy.'
From Zoë Kravitz’s teeny tiny bits of hand tattoo artwork, to Ariana Grande's statement inkings, there's a Hollywood-approved hand tattoo design for everyone.
