If you take a less is more approach to many aspects of your life, a simple line like this offers drama with minimal commitment. Two dots seem to punctuate the beginning and the end of this think line tattoo.
If you came for the drama, you’re getting it in this moody black butterfly. The edges contain a slight shade which gives the overall design a cool, hazy effect.

Take a close look at Lewis Hamilton’s hand tattoos. On the back of the hands, we find two tattoos that form a round shape, with objects that radiate from them. On the fingers, we find a sort of controlled chaos with all sorts of micro tattoos that range from abstract to figurative. You can go wild on the fingers and still maintain balance as Hamilton’s designs prove. Now, let’s take a look at some others like them.
Ornamental designs look great on the fingers as they read bold yet sophisticated. On Hamilton’s fingers, we found all sorts of ornamentation with teeny-tiny dots and simple shapes.
Here are some finger tattoos that the artist described as being Filipino tribal-inspired. Notice the mix of abstract and nature-inspired shapes? That’s how to get Hamilton’s look.
You might be someone who really likes botanical designs and you can have them with hand tattoos that seem to blossom and spill over onto the fingers. It’s all about balance.
Here’s a single Om tattoo that marries the same sort of motifs we’re after. Hamilton’s hand tattoos contain a couple of symbols and the Om might be one that will work for you.
Hamilton’s hand tattoos included several celestial bodies from stars to planets. Let the night sky be your inspiration and walk away with a tattoo that’s truly heavenly.
Here’s another example of how cosmic imagery can really look fantastic on your fingers. These tattoos have been applied using the stick and poke method which results in sharper tattoos even though these designs were tattooed without a tattoo gun.
Here’s another example of some ornamentation that really soars. Note how incredibly small those tiny dots are. We would venture to say that Hamilton’s smaller designs were likely applied without a tattoo gun and, instead, were done by hand.
Here’s a cool idea that finds a snake slithering onto the hand with a variety of symbols below on the fingers. Notice the lines that radiate from the head of the snake? That will give you an ideal round shape for the top of your hand.
Decorative designs look fantastic on the fingers and they are a smart choice. Finger and hand tattoos fade the fastest because stuff is always touching your hands and you wash them often which means the tattoos become less visible over time.
These symbol tattoos are meant to hold meaning for the person who has them. They are meant for family protection and purification the artist said. It’s an interesting look unlike many other hand tattoos on this list.
Mandala tattoos are hugely popular today. The tattoo artist who completed this hand took the idea and ran with it, including complimentary shapes that continue down onto the fingers.
This hand tattoo looks a lot like Hamilton’s Eye of Providence one that also has swords going through it. Notice that shape once more? It along with an upside-down triangle are the two best for the top of your hand.
Hamilton has a tiny rose on his pinky finger and we thought we’d show you some small roses that might also work for your own design. They are simple yet elegant and bring so much to the above design.
These finger tattoos have it all. Symbols, abstract shapes, letters, and much more. There’s no rhyme or reason to Hamilton’s tattoos and you don’t need to follow a strict theme if that does not speak to your free spirit.
We bring you this hand tattoo just to show you the possibilities of what ink can do for the back of your hand. The eye is a most popular option as you’ve already seen so far and you’d be wise to follow that lead.
On Hamilton’s other hand he has a sort of geometric design with circles springing from it. This rune-inspired design is similar and anything like it is going to look very cool.
If you like a bit more order than what you’ve seen so far, consider this hand tattoo that’s very tidy and perfectly balanced. Be sure to go your own way when it comes to your tattoos because they are meant to express all that you are.
We’ve seen many micro tattoos at this point, but none have been as small as these. Look at just how thin these lines are that form the shapes of a diamond, dagger, smiley face, and spider. These are fascinating right now, but know that anything this fine will fade fairly quickly.
Here’s a bold compass tattoo that has some elements that continue onto the fingers. It’s a great shape and the tattooing is very clean and applied well.
The sky’s the limit when it comes to your finger and hand tattoos so don’t let convention hold you back. Get something different for each finger like Hamilton has done for maximal self-expression.
We find some very fine lines once more with these botanical, symbolic, and abstract tattoos. You’ll need to find an artist with a steady hand to pull off something similar. Do your homework if you’re considering such a challenging job.
Hamilton has a tiger’s face tattooed on one of his fingers and it’s done in black, grey, and white ink. White is such a great way to add highlight, especially if you have a warmer skin tone.
Throw caution to the wind and you might have yourself a hand tattoo that no one could possibly replicate. You get to decide how much or how little you want to be included for your hand tattoos.
We leave you with a hand tattoo that’s all about bold lines. We have seen many with super-sharp lines but it’s not the only way to go. In fact, thicker lines like these are ideal for tattoos on the hand because they do not fade as easily. Be bold, it always pays off.
