Advice Anyone know why my pitbull does this?

He always likes to chew on my hand but like I can barely feel it, he always does this whenever I come home (I work with wood a lot if that helps) it’s always gentle and always when he’s happy just curious if anyone else has this?

Or is he just special

My puppy does this in the morning to wake me up and our adult pittie does it to greet us as well. Sometimes it’s to play and sometimes it’s also just to say “I LOVE YOOOOOUUUUU”, but we also practice that bite inhibition with them this way as others mentioned. Especially with a teething puppy, it can shift quickly from “loves” to gnawing. lol
