Ok, I'll join in with the turn this thread has taken. I just got a chance To do this yesterday with my Kevin Riley liner. I'll post a pinup girl in the near future too.

Here's mine. It's from a Gil Elvgren painting and tattooed by Shane O'Neill in two LONG sessions. It wasn't fully healed when these pics were taken, and no the front tire isn't flat it just looks off in the picture.

Beautiful. OTOH?

I really like this one,it was done by Seth Leibowitz on one of the regular artists that does work on me,Jennifer Leonardi

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.

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.

I love flowers on the hands and I also really like this ...
Jondix

Mine

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.

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.

I'd love to see some other favorites, or hand tattoos that LST members have!

I have a black and grey tattoo on my arm and I plan on filling in the rest of my arm with color tattoos. Kind of the opposite of your situation. Basically, moral of the story: get the tattoo you want. Your artist will be able to make them look cohesive and not out of place next to each other.

When I began getting inked, I had only two weeks before separated from the US Army (honorable discharge) after five years service in the Infantry. My last duty station had been Coleman Barracks, just outside of Mannheim, West Germany. It sucked, and the (albeit, shortened) tour ate it. So, "how do you react to stares, JB?" Nowadays, just fine; 37 years ago? Like you wouldn't believe. I'd give people "hard eyes" and a "get super-aggressive real fast" attitude. Back then, ink had a secondary (primary?) role of non-verbally "giving someone the bird". For some reason, that was important to me. Thankfully, times have changed; people, too; and so have I. Since coming back to the US, summer of 2004, I've had nothing but pleasant, polite interest from people in my tattoos, if they respond to them at all. Maybe it's that the tattoos, themselves, have always been classic, traditional American designs -- with the exception of a few places, all my work is "sewn-together" flash, designs from sheets on the wall. Nothing anybody gets angry about. I especially like the stares -- and the conversations that follow -- from age-appropriate women of a certain type.

Because I dont want a signature on my skin !
