Tattoo lettering is often times essential as part of a piece of body art. Sometimes the tattoo lettering itself is the tattoo. Choosing the font you will use or the type of language character you add will make or break the tattoo. Very popular for some time now is to use a motivational word that is meaningful to you for instance and translate it into another language such as Chinese. Although many of us do not recognize this but for some people the world of body art is becoming just as globalized as every other part of the world. Artistic styles from all over the world are being blended together in many art forms and body art is not an exception nor is tattoo lettering and fonts. Below are some of the most popular requests.
Choosing tattoo lettering for your tattoo might not be the first decision you make when you decide to get a tattoo-whether it’s your first tattoo or your twentieth. But tattoo lettering is actually very important. Think about any of the tattoos you have seen which use tattoo lettering in them. Most of the time, the lettering used in tattoos isn’t just a general, basic font—it’s stylized, which helps give the tattoo a certain appearance. Cursive and fancier tattoo lettering can lend a tattoo an elegant or fancy feeling, while gothic lettering can make a tattoo look more interesting or older. In short, different types of tattoo lettering can make your tattoo have a certain “air” to it.
