It takes a talented pair of hands to create these delicate and decorative hand tattoos, and they belong to Ellis Arch.
Working out of Tudor Row Tattoo in Lichfield, England, Ellis’ illustrative neo trad style – mainly in colour, but also black and grey if that’s your aesthetic preference – covers anything from ladies, animals, pop culture and portraits to botanical pieces.
You could think of a hand tattoo as a permanent reminder to hold onto something so precious that the item alone as a tattoo would not signify its importance enough. The hand grasps at elements of a person, feeling or memory because you have no intention of ever letting go. Even the jewellery on the fingers and wrist can have meaning and relate in some way to whatever you choose the hand to be holding.
If there’s something you’ve emotionally been holding on to and wish to express in a visual manner then take a look at these delicate and decorative hand tattoos by Ellis Arch.
