All about the tattoo on the fist
Tattoos are very popular among males. This is easily explained: body drawings can emphasize certain personal qualities of their wearer, and also help him stand out and distinguish himself from the rest. In this article, we will analyze what are the features of men's fist tattoos, and also consider their most popular sketches.
Location features
Fist tattoos are very popular, especially among men. However, when choosing a given place for tattooing, it is worth considering some of the nuances, namely the advantages and disadvantages of such drawings. Let's start with the merits.
- In the area of the hands, you can place a drawing of any size, even small, even large, which will be placed on the entire hand, including the knuckles, and will go to the wrist and sleeve.
- Fist tattoos are difficult to hide under clothes, which is a great advantage for many, because such drawings are noticeable to others. This allows a person to stand out, emphasize their individuality.
- The cost of fist tattoos is usually low. This is explained by the fact that drawings in this area usually do not differ in their scale, which reduces the expenditure of consumables, the time of the master's work and, accordingly, the cost of application.
However, it is worth considering the disadvantages of such wearable images.
- The most obvious of them is the high painfulness of the application process. The thing is that there are many nerve endings in the area of the hand, and the skin in this area is too close to the bone, which makes the application process so painful for a person.
- It is also worth saying that the tattoo on the fist is constantly in sight, and therefore can get bored very quickly. In addition, they are difficult to hide with anything. For some, this nuance is a great advantage, while for others it is a disadvantage, because sometimes tattoos located in a conspicuous place can interfere with career advancement or employment in general.
- One cannot but take into account the fact that the skin of the hands, as a rule, is thin, which is why it ages the fastest. Thanks to this, the picture deforms quickly enough, its appearance deteriorates. However, we note that the pictures on the fists deteriorate not only because of the natural aging process, but also because of their open position: they are actively influenced by external factors. For example, color drawings will soon fade under the influence of sunlight, which will cause them to be corrected.
In addition, drawings in the area of the hands take a long time to heal, about a month, which is also a disadvantage for many.
Popular techniques
Fist tattoos can be done in a variety of styles.
- The most popular execution technique is realism. The demand for this style can be easily explained: such pictures look impressive due to their naturalism, which is achieved through high detail.
However, as a rule, the process of creating and applying such images to the skin is quite painstaking, which has a direct impact on the cost of such a tattoo.
- Minimalism goes against realism, which is characterized by simplicity and uncomplicatedness. Drawings in this style do not differ in their dimensions. They are small, which is their main charm.
- Also popular among men is such a style direction as trash polka. As a rule, drawings in this direction stand out very much from the rest and often look very aggressive.
This effect is achieved due to the fact that when drawing a picture, sharp strokes are actively used, as well as various shades of black and red.
- Graphic tattoos are also suitable for fist placement. Such images usually look very realistic, however, unlike realism, they are performed strictly in black and white, which is why the tattoo as a result turns out to be very similar to a drawing made with an ordinary pencil.
Best sketches
There are many options for male fist tattoos. Some of them are applied purely for aesthetic reasons, while others, on the contrary, carry a specific message.
So, the most popular tattoo designs are various inscriptions in one language or another. In this case, for the inscription, you can choose any of the fonts you like. The wash off of such a tattoo will depend on the content of the written: it can be someone's name, any statement or a line from a favorite song.
However, we note that if you preferred a tattoo in a foreign language, then in this case you should be more careful: find out in advance about the translation of the inscription from a reliable source, so as not to get into an unpleasant and stupid situation in the future.
Popular among men and tattoos in the form of various animals, especially tigers, lions and wolves. Such tattoos are in demand due to the fact that they look brutal, and also emphasize the best qualities of a man: strength, ability to stand up for himself, courage and determination. Spider tattoos have a similar meaning.
Rose tattoos are no less popular. Such a tattoo carries a specific message. She often means strong love, passion and loyalty to her beloved.
However, depending on the compositional features, the meaning of such a pattern may vary: for example, a rose with thorns symbolizes pain from love, as well as strong mental anguish due to this feeling.
Tattoos with ancient Slavic amulets, for example, with the sign of Svetoch or Slavic runes, are also common among men.
Many believe that such tattoos can become a real talisman for their owner, which can attract happiness, success, and also help achieve their goals.
There are other options for male tattoos. For example, drawing with brass knuckles helps to emphasize the brutality and strength of a man. A tattoo with a skull on a fist means sacrifice, destruction, and for many such a drawing evokes associations with something dark and magical. But a tattoo with crosses, as a rule, means a person's belonging to a particular religion, however, the meaning of such a pattern may vary depending on its compositional features.
