Skeleton hand tattoos have spread across the internet, becoming a staple in every reputable tattoo parlour\u2019s repertoire.<\/p>\n
While skeletons, bones and skulls have long been a source of ink inspiration, skeletal hand designs have only recently become a trend.<\/p>\n
These sombre and delicate tattoos hint at something darker. They allude to death, with a cheeky hint of irony.<\/p>\n
The inner, corporeal space is inked onto visible skin in a bold design inspired by anatomy, all the while harking back to the outstretched hand of death familiar to horror film lovers.<\/p>\n
From the divine to the grim reaper-esque, hand skeleton tattoos reflect different meanings for everybody. In this article, we\u2019ll go over the symbolism of these skinnymalinky sketches so you can be sure of what you\u2019re getting yourself into before heading out to the tattoo parlour.<\/p>\n
Most ink enthusiasts will agree that tattoos have meaning. Whether it\u2019s the initials of a loved one, a portrait of your favorite musical artist, or an etching which immortalises a moment of your life (spontaneous stick-and-poke tattoos done at your friend\u2019s place after a few beers, for example.)<\/p>\n
This symbolism is for you, as the proud wearer and owner of your designs, but it\u2019s also for the beholder as it\u2019s an image that you\u2019re putting out. You\u2019re a walking art exhibit, so it\u2019s often worthwhile to think about what you\u2019re trying to represent and portray to the world.<\/p>\n
