It just another place to throw some ink. Traditionally people in the business world scoff at tattoos that are in full sight. So if it's a very important tat, say a dove dedicated to you mother that just passed away, it's like saying, who cares what people think, i loved her and here's proof that everyone can see.
I have a tattoo on my hand...it doesn't mean anything. I just liked that design in that place. IF I really wanted to stretch and say there was a meaning then probably the "I don't care what people think" would be a good explanation. Also my hand tattoo extends all the way up my arm...it depicts flowering vines growing up my arm. But at one time it was just a flower on my hand by my thumb.
It also depends on what design you are talking about - in the past, small crude hand-poked designs, like the markings from dice (the side with three or five points showing) were used by neighborhood youth gangs.
In a military-themed film Cadence, Charlie Sheen's character got 8 Balls tattooed on the backs of his hands as a sign of rebellion, as the army (or whatever service he was in) had put a ban on hand tattoos.
In Malay Culture one ring around a finger is giver to a warrior for each man he kills.
It means your a tough guy/girl! All joking aside, it means that you wont be able to get certain kinds of jobs, eg banks, schools, most office jobs. But if your interested in getting your hands tattooed these jobs probably wont appeal to you in the first place. Probably!
it means NOTHING. stop looking for meaning in all tattoos. many tattoos are simply whimsical and fun or aesthetically pleasing. they don't all mean things. also, different designs mean different things to different people. there isn't an end all answer. try asking the person it's on what it means to them.
its means the person likes tattoo's on their hand

It means that someone was too chicken to go through with getting a tattoo, and the green means that it is older than dirt. Is it on the wrist bone or on the hand? It may be a Southie or a Dorchester Dot Tattoo.
Zak's tattoo on his right wrist is something to do with vampires. -GAC's #1 fan :)

it means the one who has the tattoo is unstoppable until put out. Meaning the person who has the tattoo is like a flame, can be very outrageous at times but also very warming and kind.
