graybones 170 Posted December 19, 2013 I love a good back piece or a solid sleeve, but my obsession is hand tattoos. Here are a few of my favorites from the collection I have saved on my computer. Tim Hendricks Seth Wood Ron Wells Ashley Love Annie Frenzel Peter Lagergren Peter Lagergren again I'd love to see some other favorites, or hand tattoos that LST members have! hogg, Fala, Mark Bee and 10 others 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaeTae 15 Posted December 19, 2013 Nice pics. I really like flowers tattooed on the hands, I'm not currently at a stage in my life where I can tattoo my hands, but maybe one day. Also interested to members hand tattoos and how it affected other aspects of their lives, if at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avery Taylor 88 Posted December 19, 2013 These are my hands. The bird by Bailey Robinson and the panther by Steve Byrne. The knuckles and little guys were done by Vinse One. Actually Matt Arriola did the anchor. markdeerhunter, cltattooing, rozone and 20 others 23 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suburbanxcore 889 Posted December 19, 2013 I'm not currently at a stage in my life where I can tattoo my hands, but maybe one day. I say this all the time. I can get away with a lot of coverage because I wear a shirt and tie every day, but I would love to get my hands done someday. I always tell my wife that the day that I retire I'll be going to get my hands done. If PA teacher pension/retirement holds out for me, it should be in about 27 years. But who's counting?

huggernaut 4 Posted December 20, 2013 I'm not sure I'll ever do my hands, but perfectly fitting hand tattoos are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. I've seen that Hendricks one before. So good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
else 21 Posted December 21, 2013 Since eventually I'll be on disability, which is a huge bummer, I'm planning on "celebrating" the fact with hand tattoos. Right now I'm thinking Steve Byrne for that, but I'm hoping to work for about 10 more years, so there's no telling who I'll be wanting my hands done by when it happens. It'll be my gift to myself.

Vinn 7 Posted December 21, 2013 I waited a long time to have my hands done. I guess it helps that my municipal job is outdoors and 90% of the time I have to wear gloves due to safety rules. graybones, JoshRoss and suburbanxcore 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genie of the West 3 Posted December 21, 2013 this is my favorite hand tattoo ever. Love how the sleeve transitions flawlessly onto the top of the hand. This is just a random picture I saw from reddit that I saved on my computer. I don't know who did this or where it was done.

Colored Guy 351 Posted December 21, 2013 How does one "like" and "not-like" a post at the same time? I thought the same thing. Its a big life-changing event when you can't work any longer. I was close with my back injury for a while. I will be celebrating my retirement with a hand tattoo for sure. Rob Mark Bee 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suburbanxcore 889 Posted December 21, 2013 All-time favorite is on a friend of mine, mostly because of how silly it is. What do gorillas think about? Bananas, duh. By Drew Rash. Additionally, here are three I've seen on Instagram recently that I've loved. Another Tim Hendricks. Squeezing a readable ROA on there blows my mind. Grez. Does it get better than classic roses on a hand? Grime. And to totally tweak out the classic rose, a rose skull morph.

graybones 170 Posted December 23, 2013 wow great pics everyone. @Graeme "squidmitts"! Hah! I don't generally seek out dotwork so those Jondix, Weisbeck, and Hooper hands are completely blowing my mind right now. Amazing! Unfortunately if I am ever able to get my hands done, it won't be for several decades. But in the meantime, here's a couple more on other people.
