Hand tattoos age the fastest of any placement on the body. Constant exposure, constant friction, thin skin, and frequent washing all wear the work down faster than other areas. The reward is unmissable visibility. Plan for a touch-up cycle and pick an artist who specializes in hand work.
Traditional fits this canvas because it's bold-lined American Old School work built to last on any placement. The work below comes from artists on the platform who specialize in this combination.
