I'd go for sides and not knuckles, as touching as the message is. blah blah tattoos, blah blah job opportunities.

I do like the idea tho

blah blah qualified mechanic blah blah but yer i do know the job side of it and im fine for that as appearance wont matter for me, on that note i do like the side of my hands one atm.

Well if youre a mechanic, they'll probably be covered in gunk one way or another most of the time. I guess they look more tasteful on the side.

When you get it done, it would be cool to see pictures!

definatly gunna be pics

yeah, I am curious what your career path is? I love tattoos and have many myself, just keep that in mind. Also experiment with typefaces TONS before you settle on one. :3

appearance wont matter for the jobs i go for and i will do allot of font and text size work aswell.

I'd personally say, go for the sides. I think it's more aesthetically pleasing (imo) and reads more like a sentence instead of staggered words.

true :)

Don't do it...not on the hands, bud.

why? whats your beef on them?

Who are the only people you have seen or heard of getting tattoos on their hands?

That's the kind of thinking that's perpetuating the idea that tattoos mean you're a thug. I sincerely doubt that, after reading this particular tattoo, they're going to think they're a bad person. It's a pleasant quote.

I have 3 tattoos. It's all in the placement.

everyone and anyone who wants a meanigfull tattoo in everyone elses eyesight, also if this is gunna make drama imma just delete it.

everyone who wants a tattoo there, like say me

the sides of your hands look best :)

sorry but no

uh oh

im tattoo'd all over but i realy dont like that idea you have

Second.

Interested to know why?

Reason one
In 5 years the natural spread of all tattoo's will make this look crap - all tattoos spread in after a few years
Secondly The font and the place. I have nothing against whats said, but thats a shit place for a tattoo these days
if that same tattoo were in a Old english text *link* http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq15/riyanpee/OldEnglishText.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.allthingstattoos.com/old-english-lettering-tattoos.html&h=288&w=432&sz=17&tbnid=d044vpktV9eACM:&tbnh=80&tbnw=120&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dold%2Benglish%2Bwriting%2Btattoo%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=old+english+writing+tattoo&docid=c6z1Y90OSYQTRM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=WjIlT7eGIIfC0QXNx7HQAg&sqi=2&ved=0CFcQ9QEwAg&dur=236
then it would look nice But id sugest haveing it a readable size across your forarms

thanks for the input but it's down to the person realy, everyones differant

Side of hand is better I think - more subtle. ^^
But its YOUR tattoo - were do you want it most? =p

tis true and i do realy like the side of my hands idea, not in your face but still noticable enough, next step, Font!

All of them are too small to have any longevity on the hands. Sorry.
