A tattoo is a form of body modification where a design is made by inserting ink, dyes and pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. Tattoos on the hands are a form of body art that has been part of many cultures for centuries. Hand tattoos are a popular choice for women, as they add a touch of femininity to an otherwise masculine body part. Hand tattoos for women can be as simple or as intricate as you want them to be, and are a great way to express yourself and your personality.
