We'd like to think that a meaningful, well-thought-out tattoo would look good in any location, but we'll admit that we're strong advocates of hand tattoos over here. Getting a design on this area isn't the most comfortable — they're actually one of the more painful spots — but you can always count on it grabbing everyone's attention. No matter what design you get, it's bound to be the first thing someone notices when you're talking with your hands or just showing off your manicure.
While hand tattoos can look pretty dreamy on anyone, we're especially fond of some of the ones we've seen on various celebrities. From Rihanna to Demi Lovato, there are several stars out there who have been able to bear the pain and walk away from their tattoo artists with some dope designs on their hands. If you've been thinking about getting a hand tattoo lately — because there is a lot to think about — let these celebrities and their respective ink be your guide.
Chrissy Teigen recently got a series of dots tattooed on her fingers because she just really likes dots. Shortly after getting the tattoo, she joked that the dots are Morse code for "I'm tired."
The "Positions" singer has multiple tattoos on both hands including a large crescent moon on her right hand, the phrase "baby doll" on one of her fingers, a heart on her ring finger, and the Hebrew phrase "אלד" on her middle finger. She also infamously got two Japanese characters tattooed on the inside of her palm, though that piece didn't exactly turn out as planned.
Selena Gomez once got a matching tattoo with her friend and fellow musician, Julia Michaels. The two have arrows pointing toward each other just under their thumbs.
Along with the lion on her index finger, Delevingne also has her initials, "CJD," tattooed on the side of her right hand, a red heart on her left pinky finger, a wasp on her left pointer finger, and a snake on her left hand.
The Tell Me You Love Me singer has a lion on her right hand along with a cross. She also has the word, "me," and a smiley face tattooed on the inside of her ring finger and her pinky, respectively.
