What areas of the hand do girls get mini-tattoos on?

In addition, the hands are considered the most popular place for tattooing. The women interviewed said that small drawings accentuate thin wrists and adorn long fingers, and that mini-tattoos are easy to hide from others, if necessary.

The editors asked all the participants about the specific location of the drawings on the arm, where they would like to get a tattoo, and if the drawing has already been applied, then why they chose this particular zone.

Their answers were listed in the following table:

These are the most common answers. Less commonly, girls get a tattoo on the elbow or on the inside of the shoulder.

Styles and colors of miniature tattoos

Small tattoos on the arm for girls play an important role in creating a unique image. Before deciding to create a wearable pattern, you need to choose a style and choose the right color.

Black tattoos are versatile and suit any skin tone. On dark-skinned girls, they look slightly muffled than on white, porcelain skin. If a woman with a cold color type wants to make the tattoo less visible, it is better for her to give preference to brown or gray. Color drawings are created by matching shades of paint to the color of the skin.

For swarthy and dark-skinned girls, masters recommend paying attention to the following colors:

• White, beige, yellow.
• Purple, hot pink, fuchsia.
• Gray, black, dark brown.
• Dark green, pistachio, emerald.

Drawings in these colors will attract attention and highlight the characteristics of tanned skin.

Light girls are suitable for drawings containing colors:

• Black, gray, brown.
• Dark blue, purple, blue.
• Red, orange, pink.
• Yellow, pistachio, pale green.

Drawings can be schematic and flat, or realistic and lively.To get the 2nd option, you need to choose the 3D application technique. Usually, such tattoos cost a little more than ordinary tattoos, and they are made only by professionals who have completed special courses. The drawing becomes "alive" due to the application of shadows and glare of light.

For example, you can print a small spider on your wrist. In the flat version, it will look like an ordinary tattoo, and with a 3D effect, there will be a shadow under the drawing, and on the spider's abdomen you can see glare and villi on the legs. Thanks to the detailed elaboration, the spider will look as if it is not drawn, but is sitting on the hand right now.

In addition to drawings, small letters are chosen as a tattoo on the girl's hand. Most often, these lines contain a secret meaning and are written in a foreign language.
