Back of Hand Tattoos

Zoë Kravitz

Zoe Kravitz has a tiny tattoo on the back of her right arm with the date “11-16-67” to represent her mom’s November 16, 1967 birth date. Her mother Lisa Bonet (who legally changed her name to Lilakoi Moon but still goes by Lisa Bonet professionally) is an actress who is best known for her role as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show. Zoe sees her mom as an inspiration on both a personal and a professional level, telling Elle:

“She kind of stumbled into that world. It wasn’t a conscious choice (a) to be an actress, (b) to be a famous actress, and (c) to be—she shook things up—a model for so many young women. The beautiful thing about her is that she just thought a certain way and lived her life that way.”

Lily Cole

Lily Cole paid tribute to her two-year-old daughter Wylde by getting artistic ink from artist Stanislava Pinchuk in August 2018. She intended to get one tattoo, but the artist instead created for her a collection of five tattoos on her left hand which represent each letter of Wylde’s name in an interpretive way. The supermodel showed off the tattoos on her instagram and wrote:

“Today I went to Paris to get 1 tattoo from the talented @m_i_s_o_ … then I ended up getting 5. Fun day. Check out her work: an artist and activist I admire”

Artist Stanislava Pinchuk works in a very non-traditional way. She only accepts payment in the form of trades — Lily gave her photographs and a book. Her home-made tattoos are created specifically for each client.“Every one is different, just a lot of consideration & talking” she wrote.

The five tattoos that she created for Lily Cole are scattered throughout her fingers, hand and wrist. The letters of the name “WYLDE” aren’t in any readable order. It’s the sort of tattoo that’s meant more for artistic expression and internal reflection rather than to convey a message to anyone else.

The shape on Lily’s middle finger, which looks like V:, is a letter “W” with two of the lines missing. The “Y” is drawn in a curvy fashion on the side of her hand. “L” is represented by a straight line on the outside of her index finger. The arc on her wrist is for the letter “D” and the three lines on her thumb give the vague impression of an “E.”

Chiara Ferragni

Chiara Ferragni and her now-husband Fedez got matching tattoos on their hands of a raviolo with a cutesy smiley face (we Americans would call it a ravioli but technically that’s the plural form).  While a pasta dumpling might seem like a strange idea for a tattoo, it’s significant to the couple because Fedez calls Chiara “raviolo” as an affectionate nickname.  Now that they have a baby they call him “raviolino,” meaning little ravioli.

This tattoo was done by Jon Boy in March 2017 and it was the first time in nearly four years that Chiara had been inked by anyone other than her favorite artist Dr Woo.
