Hand tattoos are all the rage these days, but it's especially important to do your research before pulling the trigger on something that permanent with that high visibility placement.
Not only is the hand one of the most prominent areas for other people to see, but it's probably also the most visible place where you will be looking the most often. So, you need to make sure that you really love what you're putting there. You should also keep in mind that you use your hands often and likely, especially in today’s current world, are washing your hands constantly. With that, remember that there is even more likelihood of your hand tattoo fading more quickly than it would on a different spot on your body.

“Go Big or Go Home” can apply to a lot of things, including tattoos, but it doesn’t always have to. In recent years, small, simple and, dare we say, subtle tattoos have become increasingly popular. Fine lines, detail work, and simple designs are hallmarks of small tattoos and can be just as attention grabbing as big ones.
There are many reasons for men to opt for a cool small tattoo. If it’s your first tattoo, a small design is a good way to test the waters. They’re also easy to fit almost anywhere on your body—wrist, hand, chest, arm, leg, you name it. They work especially well in an area with more negative space (and leave plenty of room for more later). But the coolest thing about small tattoos is that they’re more of a whisper than a scream—when people see them, they notice, but they can also be hidden easily if you want. If you want to go the small route, look for an artist that does a lot of small tattoos (some artists actually specialize in them). Like any design, choose an artist whose work vibes with the idea you have. And as for that idea, this list of the coolest small tattoo designs for men will help you get inspired.
