Forever bracelets and rings are easier to hide than other hand tattoos, says Perr. \u201cThey just blend in with your other jewelry,\u201d she explains. \u201cYou\u2019d be surprised, people rarely even notice them.\u201d What matters is that you<\/em> know it\u2019s there (and that you don\u2019t need to one-handedly close a bracelet clasp or use soap to slide a stuck ring off your finger again).<\/p>\n

Butterflies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

On average an adult\u2019s hand is about three inches wide, which is around the same size as the wingspan of a monarch butterfly. Whether you opt for a biologically accurate sketch or a tiny outline of the creature, there\u2019s no better symbol for surviving change (and coming out stronger on the other side) than a butterfly. Mariah\u2019s line-drawn creations are done in black ink, but there are 17,500 variations of real-life inspiration out there, in every color of the rainbow.<\/p>\n

Tiny stars<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t sure whether you want to stop at one hand tattoo or add more over time, a tiny star is a great place to start. Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Daniel Winter, a.k.a. Winterstone, says clients often ask for a star tattoo to mark a celebration or tie in with a meaningful astrological symbol. One star works anywhere on your hand (and won\u2019t break the bank when it\u2019s time for a touch up), but you can add a few more to create your own personal galaxy.<\/p>\n

Wiggly lines<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve noticed really stylish and well-read girls getting purely ornamental linework [tattoos],\u201d Mariah says of these wiggly lines. The abstract designs are a bit of a Rorschach test, evoking topographical lines on a map, the inside of a seashell, or whatever shape your brain creates. There\u2019s lots of variety to play with here, like the number of lines you want, how bold or delicate you want the lines to be, and what you want them to encircle. To create them, Mariah draws these designs free-form on her clients.<\/p>\n

Charms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Mariah coined the term \u201ccharms\u201d to describe a category of cheeky, instantly identifiable designs that she tattoos on clients\u2019 hands or wrists. They usually depict small, sentimental or recognizable icons that would otherwise adorn a charm bracelet, such as a tiny Eiffel Tower, coffee cup, or a heart. (If you\u2019re Hailey Bieber, it\u2019s a simple and very coquette-core bow.) Evil eyes are popular charms for fingers, too, as are inked versions of emojis like flames or sparkles. Mariah often sees clients who don\u2019t have a lot of tattoos start with these.<\/p>\n

Realistic florals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cFlowers are a timeless subject matter,\u201d says Deanna James, the owner of Eden Body Art Studios in Dallas. Instead of fresh-cut florals, this more environmentally friendly option involves realistic-looking orchids, daisies, roses, or whatever your favorite flower is rendered in vivid color. Her floral tattoos typically end where the fingers begin to prevent the image from needing to be broken up across five digits.<\/p>\n

Vines<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a simpler tie to nature, Mariah has noticed vine hand tattoos growing in popularity. She\u2019s tatted larger pieces that crawl up the hand and tinier ones across the knuckles (she has a version of the latter herself). Aside from leaf shape and size, there\u2019s one more crucial decision to make here: Will your vine grow from the wrist and toward the fingers, across the hand, or even across both?<\/p>\n
