The image of hands is often found in modern tattoo art. The context of the sketch can be very different - from mystical to simply decorative.

The meaning of a tattoo that depicts hands

The meaning of the image depends on the design of the sketch:

  • hands folded in prayer - deep religiosity;
  • palm with an eye in the middle - insight and keen intuition. This tattoo also serves as a talisman;
  • a hand with crossed fingers is a talisman that attracts good luck;
  • paired tattoos, which depict clasped hands, are a symbol of strong friendship or love.

Sketches based on Michelangelo’s painting “The Creation of Adam” are popular. They depict two hands reaching out to each other. The tattoo is designed in the minimal style (small contour drawings) or the vipshading technique (large realistic images). Sketches are created in monochrome, very rarely with color inclusions to highlight small details.

What parts of the body are tattooed on?

Miniature drawings look good in any area. The most popular parts of the body for such a tattoo are wrists, forearms, and shoulders. Less commonly, the image of hands is found on the ankles and ankles.

Paired tattoos are placed on the shoulders or wrists.
