Palm tattoo designs for girls are sentimental and romantic. It is here that, at first glance, there are simple drawings, the meaning of which is known only to the owner. The palm is almost invisible to others, so it is sometimes not possible to see the image. By the way, this is exactly what celebrities use. For example, Angelina Jolie got a tattoo of the letter M in honor of her mother Marcheline who died suddenly. Strangely, the drawing disappeared immediately after journalists noticed it.
Features of a tattoo on the palm
The procedure for applying a tattoo directly to the palm is one of the most painless. Tattoo artists and their clients rate it a one on a scale of one to 10. This is a significant advantage, so beginners can safely go to a tattoo parlor.
As for the opposite side of the arm, here the bones are located close to the skin, so the session may be accompanied by more unpleasant and severe pain. After the session, hematomas may even appear.
Any artist will warn you that palm tattoos are not permanent. They quickly lose their former attractiveness, wear out due to sweating and constant contact with household chemicals and water (this is especially true for girls who are forced to do more cleaning than men). Correction for tattoos in this case will be needed more often.
By the way, palmists are of the opinion that each line on the palm has a special meaning. Changing the design on the hand because of a tattoo can radically change the fate of a girl, and not always in better side. How true this statement is is not known for certain, but physiologists insist that body painting is a harmless art. If the skin on the hands were smooth, a person would not be physically able to straighten the limb, so there is no point in giving each fold an existential meaning.
Popular sketches
For those girls who want to acquire an amulet and talisman, who are interested in esotericism and other occult teachings, it is recommended to pay attention to the Scandinavian runes Algiz, Evaz, Feu, Soulu.
To achieve mutual understanding and strengthen relationships, lovers or spouses can be given couple tattoo in the form of the Gebo rune.

This is one of the most famous and powerful amulets, which has special meaning for girls. It is considered a symbol of home and family happiness.
The inscriptions would be appropriate on the edge of the palm. Since there is not much space here, you can limit yourself to one word or hieroglyph. Graceful ornate ornaments also look beautiful and stylish on a girl’s palm.
A tattoo on a woman's palm will help hide scars or visible skin defects. This is what the famous TV presenter Tina Kandelaki did, who decorated her hand after the accident with a Reiki sign, symbolizing strength. Singer Rihanna applied an ethnic Polynesian design to her hand and just above her wrist, which represents love, after a trip to New Zealand.

The fashion for tattoos on the palm for girls came from India, where the application of a design in this part of the body is primarily of a ritual nature. In the eastern fairyland Certain designs and ornaments are applied with henna to the hands of girls who are preparing for marriage or have experienced the joy of motherhood. The images on the palms of Indian women were so unusual and attractive that they quickly became popular in the West.
Nowadays, the art of hand tattooing is constantly evolving. Every year new ideas and techniques for performing tattoos appear, so now this type of image became popular among both girls and men.
Advantages and disadvantages of tattoos on the palm. How to arrange a drawing
Like all types of tattoos, an image placed on the edge of the palm or the back of it has a number of advantages and disadvantages. The strengths of such a tattoo are that it is a fairly young trend in the tattoo industry, respectively the drawing in this part of the body will a priori look original and unusual. Also, the palm area on one side is clearly visible, and on the other, if necessary, you can always clench your hand into a fist, protecting the drawing from prying eyes.
The disadvantage of this image is its relative fragility; the fact is that the skin in the palm area is renewed more often than anywhere else on the body. In addition, the tattoo quickly fades due to frequent contact with water and aggressive media (soap, dishwashing detergent, washing powder).
Did you know? Actress Cara Delevingne, as well as singers Lana Del Rey and Kesha, have tattoos on their palms.
The most common way to place a tattoo is to place it in the very center of the palm. According to esotericists, it is in this area the centers responsible for human hypersensitivity and his connection with the cosmos are concentrated. However, it is more practical to place the tattoo on the edge of the palm, where the tattoo will last longer without requiring correction.
Themes used for palm tattoos
Considering that the human palm is relatively small in size, the images chosen as a tattoo should be succinct and neat. These can be inscriptions or symbols, small ornamental compositions, geometric or floral patterns, symbolic images of animals.
The palm is the part of the body where it is best to place sayings endowed with sacred meaning. The inscription may contain a life credo, or it may be the names of significant and important people in a person’s life, certain numbers associated with important events occurring in life.
A meaningful small phrase can be placed in the center of the palm, supplemented with small decorative elements, if space allows. It is better to place a long phrase in the form of a line on the edge of the palm.
Ornamental and symbolic images on the palm
Mandalas can be used as an ornamental design on the palm. These geometric compositions also came into popular culture from the East, so they are very harmoniously combined with the very idea of a tattoo on the palm. Mandalas contain a deep philosophical meaning about the world order; their graceful beauty reflects human concepts of harmony, nature, and the circulating flows of energy that permeate the Universe.
The size of the palm does not allow drawing large and voluminous images of animals, but you can make symbolic sketches of them. You can depict your favorite totem animal (bear, wolf, lizard) or just its paw print, you can depict your zodiac sign. Various insects look quite interesting on the palm: bees, spiders, butterflies.
The butterfly is sometimes placed on two palms at once, so that when you put your hands together, you get the feeling of its flight. This symbol is often used by creative, spiritual individuals.
Image of eyes on the palm
The eyes have always been considered the mirror of the soul; it is not for nothing that their image often accompanies esoteric and religious texts. By placing such a drawing on the palm, a person subconsciously tries to find answers to hidden questions, tries to discern the signs that fate is giving him. An eye depicted on one or two palms symbolizes a person’s mental connection with the cosmos, his open mind, capable of receiving information inaccessible to others.
Did you know? The practice of tattooing an eye on the palm exists in all shamanic cults; priests use these images to communicate with spirits, ranging from Altai and the Tundra, to remote African villages and the tropical forests of South America.
Paired images on the palm
Despite the fact that the surface of the palm does not allow for full-scale imagination, some people still manage to surprise with their creative approach to a male tattoo in this part of the body.
Tattoos are becoming more and more popular every day. Having long lost their symbolism, for most people tattoos are a way to express themselves, give their appearance originality and attract the attention of others. Particularly popular lately finger tattoos, on the edge of the hand and on the palms.
On the Internet you can find a fairly simple explanation for this: tattoos on the fingers are considered best choice for people who do not want to make a drawing on another part of the body. Such a tattoo is not as striking as a large image, it looks original and is noticeable to others. However, the option is not without its drawbacks. As an expert in the field of tattooing, I would like you to think about the consequences of getting a tattoo on one of the areas of your hands.
Disadvantages of tattoos on hands
The phalanges of the fingers are constantly in motion, since any person does almost all the work with his hands. Constant movements, as a result of which the skin moves, will lead to the pigment (dye) “floating” or “falling out”, since the skin of the hands is renewed much faster than the skin on other parts of the body. A bright, clear picture will blur after a fairly short time, turning into an obscure image. This process does not depend on the skill of the tattoo artist, the quality of the paint used, or the size of the needle. Of course, you can contact a tattoo artist for correction, or not contact a specialist, but in any case, the tattoo will fade over time.
Price tattoos on the edge of the palm or on the phalanges of the fingers is quite high (the average in Novosibirsk is 2000 rubles). When ordering a tattoo, you expect results that you are unlikely to get for that kind of money. Since the first thought will be the intention to correct the image, you pay another 2000-3000 rubles. Regardless of which correction option you choose (contacting the artist who did the tattoo, or another specialist with payment according to the price list), the costs will increase significantly. After a year, the image will fade and you will want to return the tattoo to its former brightness, which will also cost a considerable amount. As a result, a small crown or heart on the edge of the palm or on the phalanx of a finger will cost the cost of a larger and more interesting image.
Imagine that you put the name of your husband or loved one on the phalanx of your finger, thinking that your relationship is forever and you will not part. But a couple of years passed, the feelings faded away or turned out to be an illusion, but the inscription on the hand remained. And every day you see the name of a person who annoys you. What can be done in this case? There are two options to solve the problem:
- buy and wear a ring to cover up your tattoo;
- undergo a laser removal procedure, the cost of which is quite high if it is very painful.
Both options are quite expensive and unpleasant.
About originality and creativity
Let's try to understand the statement that tattoos applied to the phalanges of the fingers or the edge of the palm are original, look playful and creative. This statement is as far from the truth as the previous ones. The image on the skin of the hands cannot be large by definition, therefore, tattoo customers have to limit themselves to minimalistic primitive images in the form of colored flowers, hearts, inscriptions, crowns of various shapes or anchors. A simplified version of such images are the contours of the same flowers and hearts, applied using black or colored paint. Inscriptions are applied in the same way, most of them being names, mottos or appeals.
Frankly speaking, such images are associated, especially if the phalanges of the fingers are chosen as the tattoo site, with a prison tattoo. The popularity of the game, which consists of guessing how many times the bearer of a prison tattoo has been in prison, how long ago it was and what he was in prison for, has not completely exhausted itself. People’s habit of thinking in stereotypical or stereotyped ways will be the reason that you will hear questions about the “prisoner’s rings” on their fingers quite often. Over time, when the image begins to fade and blur, the questions will become constant, since few will be able to discern the original image in the erased image. Constantly correcting images on your hands is a troublesome and unjustifiable task, and correction will require significant costs. Not everyone will agree to pay double or triple the price for the dubious pleasure of admiring a rather primitive image for several months.
There are many places on the human body that are suitable for an original and high-quality tattoo. In pursuit of fashion, you should not do something that you will later regret. I treat my clients with respect and value, and try to do everything possible to ensure that they enjoy my work. That is why I do not want and will not get tattoos in places not intended for this purpose.
The current reality has made tattoo culture extremely popular and accessible - in every city, even the smallest one, there are several professional tattoo parlors. Ringers organize festivals and matser classes to exchange experiences. Modern youth love to get tattoos on the arm (its inner side), the back of the head, and the lower leg, often without stopping at these places.
Tattoo on inside hands can be called a tattoo for the modest. Such a drawing does not look catchy.
In case of official work, it can be covered with clothes with long sleeve, and also hide it by simply pressing your hand to your body. In the case of a party or just free time, you can, on the contrary, emphasize it with the right outfit.
A big plus (especially for those who got a tattoo for the first time) is that the owner of the design can easily admire it, since it is constantly before his eyes.
This place of drawing does not carry any sacred meaning. The tattoo is interpreted depending on the image itself. The inside of the arm is a universal place where the tattoo owner can express almost anything.
You should know that the hand is a very mobile part of the body, and you need to carefully select an image for its inner part. Otherwise, the picture may become distorted when changing the position of the hand, and it will look ugly, and in the worst case, even funny. 
An important aspect that worries a person before getting a tattoo is the pain of the process itself. The inner side of the arm cannot be considered one of the most painful areas of the body (for example, the shoulder blade, stomach, lower back), but the procedure cannot be called painless and invisible either.
The skin on this part of the body is thin, so if the artist drives the paint deep, you will have to endure considerable pain by gritting your teeth for a while. The most painful part is the wrist and inner part elbow, since the skin there is as thin as possible, and the bone is very close.
A tattoo on the inside of the arm is very comfortable and stylish. The thin skin of the inside of the hand also dictates certain conditions for the choice of design. You should not tattoo an image with a lot of small details, as after a couple of years the paint may “spread” and the tattoo will become unreadable and unsightly.
The meaning of tattoos in this area for women
Tattoos located on the inside of the arm have gained maximum popularity among women. As a rule, if a man has one tattoo on his arm, he will quickly transfer it to a completely full sleeve. A woman can often stop at just one drawing.
A tattoo on this side of the hand has a number of advantages for girls, such as:
Despite the advantages, many girls also find some disadvantages in such a place for a tattoo:
- Painful application;
- It is difficult not to get your hands wet (while the tattoo is healing);
- For some ladies, a tattoo on the arm (especially in the shoulder area) seems too provocative.
Despite the contradictions, according to tattoo artists, most often girls give preference to this particular area when applying a tattoo.
Tattoo on the inside of the shoulder
The choice of the inner surface of the biceps is the prerogative of men. Girls extremely rarely choose this place for a tattoo, despite the minimal pain and practicality. The fact is that the skin in this area is very pliable, so the applied patterns heal quickly and do not deform even over time and with changes in the owner’s body weight.
Tattoos located on the inside of the arm in the shoulder area, namely on the biceps, as a rule, tend to express and emphasize the strength of the owner. The design, with its outlines, follows the shape of the body, visually increasing the size of the muscles and demonstrating the power and aggression of the owner. 
However, there is another approach to interpreting this place for tattooing. Girls choose the inside of the shoulder on the left side in order to apply a design with a very deep personal meaning. Such a tattoo is located very close to the heart and preserves something very important in memory, leaving an imprint on the entire life path of the owner.
Tattoo on the inner side of the forearm

Henna tattoo is an excellent choice for those who have not yet decided on a permanent option. Henna lasts on the skin for up to 2-3 weeks.

Tattoos on a girl's hand:
50 best wrist tattoos:
Tattoos on the arms are becoming increasingly popular among both men and women.
- Firstly, they look very aesthetically pleasing (provided they are made professionally)
- Secondly, there is a huge variety of tattoo designs, from small inscriptions to patterns covering the entire surface of the skin.
- Thirdly, a tattoo on the hand often carries a semantic meaning in the form of hieroglyphs or various sayings
- Fourthly, what other part of the body is most open and always in sight? Arm tattoos are very noticeable and clearly demonstrate our individuality.
You need to choose a design for a tattoo based on which part of your hand you want to apply it to. Experts identify several areas, each of which has its own specifics. These are the shoulder, forearm with elbow, wrist, hand and fingers.
Palms and fingers
Tattoos applied on the inside of the palm and fingers are more masculine, since they often reflect belonging to a certain segment of society (this means various symbols, coats of arms of motorcycle clubs, military insignia). And doing them is quite painful due to the large number of nerve endings. 
There are, of course, beautiful sketches for girls who are willing to endure a little. A very interesting idea is to apply inscriptions to the side of the finger, when they are visible to others only when the owner of the tattoo wishes it. These are small, one or two word inscriptions that are a capacious and vivid expression of individuality.
Your own name or the name of a loved one, special feminine phrases that are flirtatious or carry a hidden meaning. Sometimes one word is applied to each finger, together making up some kind of catchphrase or motto. 
Hand and wrist
Getting tattoos on the hands is the destiny of brave and extraordinary people, who are ready to constantly demonstrate their uniqueness to others. Most often, inscriptions are applied to this part of the body, although sketches of drawings of animals, fire or zodiac signs are also quite popular.
From hundreds of common sketches of hieroglyphs, where each has its own meaning, you need to choose the one that is most suitable for you. For example, the symbol “rage” does not quite harmonize with the appearance of fragile girls, and “male” tattoos “butterfly” or “tenderness” can cause unhealthy laughter in the Chinese man who meets you. Choose only those hieroglyphs whose meaning is known with complete certainty.
The popularity of images on the hands and wrists is also due to the fact that getting a tattoo in these places is almost painless even with the simplest pen - a stencil, the invention of which is attributed to Thomas Edison.
Shoulder and forearm
Tattoos on the shoulder and forearm with the elbow provide great freedom for imagination, since tattoo parlors offer a great variety of sketches, both drawings and inscriptions, for these areas of the arm. The options for font, size and color combinations are almost endless. The shoulder is called a universal place; a portrait of Che Guevara, ornate patterns, hieroglyphs, and Gothic inscriptions will look organic here. 
"Sleeves"
On the forearm and shoulder, you can also make so-called “sleeves” - images of various lengths that cover the skin entirely or almost entirely.
- A long “sleeve” is applied from the shoulder to the wrist. This is either one whole image, or several combined
- Quarter of the “sleeve” - the area from the shoulder to the top of the elbow
- Half “sleeve” can be applied from elbow to wrist or from shoulder to elbow
Such tattoos are a great way to stand out from the crowd and have both male and female versions.
Maori patterns
Tattoos with patterns of Maori, a people living on the islands near New Zealand and who have been practicing the art of tattooing since ancient times, have also become somewhat widespread. They are a combination of smooth lines, geometric shapes, images of animals. But if for the representatives of this tribe themselves such a ritual has a deep meaning and lasts almost their whole life, then in our country such patterns carry, of course, a decorative meaning. Although it will be better if you are still aware of what exactly this or that ornament means. 
Making a tattoo with Maori patterns with a pen is quite painful and time-consuming.
Process technology
It's the 21st century, and progress has even touched the centuries-old traditions of tattooing. There are still craftsmen who use only the good old pen - a stencil, but many salons have already switched to modern tattoos— machines that allow you to apply a design quickly and painlessly. The needle pierces the skin to a depth of 2 mm with a frequency of 50 to 3000 times per minute and leaves insoluble particles of pigment paint there - these particles form the pattern. 
This method is very good for large, colorful images, as it saves a lot of time. But if you're conservative and need to get a small tattoo, like someone's name or some numbers, then don't be afraid to use a pen. It will be a little painful, but you can fully feel the magic of this ritual.
