American traditional artwork is truly old school, with variations of the original flash rose tattoo designs still readily available over 100 years since they first were designed.
American traditional body art – and the newer more outlandish neo traditional design – are popular for hard wearing tattoo areas such as the hand.
The bold lines and solid colors work well at holding their lustre, whereas a more intricate and finely detailed design may have issues with maintaining clarity and sharpness in shading and outline.
White ink is predominantly used as a highlight or accent color to further enhance the natural variation between light and dark shading and line work applications.
With the limited available space on the hand, artists often emphasize contrast between light and shade to make the ink pop more as a new tattoo but also give it a more consistent color as it ages.
Tattoos on the back of the hand are the most likely to age gracefully when it comes to hand tattoos.
Exposure to the sun’s UV rays and other natural wear and tear means that these pieces will still age faster and more dramatically than tattoos on parts of the body that don’t get the same amount of exposure.
Skin is constantly regenerating, and this effect occurs more rapidly in the areas that are exposed to abrasive surfaces—even skin rubbing against skin can contribute to this process.
This can lead to tattoos fading and ink “falling” out.
You may find that your hand tattoo may need touching up at various points, or even in extreme cases getting re-done after they’ve been exposed for a while.
Make sure you take this risk into consideration when you’re putting your hand tattoo plan together.
Hand tattoo pricing can run anywhere from the shop minimum – $50-$80 depending on the studio – for the smallest and easiest inked linework pieces, which can be over and done with in just a few minutes.
Pricing can go all the way up to around the $800 for complex work that takes on the entirety of the hand and fingers, running in the vicinity of 3 to 4 hours with the use of different colors, hefty shading and/or white ink highlights.
Remember, it’s customary to tip your artist – 15% is standard but you’ll earn plenty of appreciation tipping 20% for a job well done.
