An inspiring quote, the initials of the parents or a Bible verse. As a single stroke or as part of a large motif - a letter tattoo has a particularly profound meaning for many and is probably one of the most popular tattoo styles at all. There are no limits to the imagination of the customer or artist, because through a selection of infinite fonts and styles, the most diverse tattoos can be adapted exactly to the wishes of the customer. In the 70s in the south of the United States developed the trend around the lettering tattoos. Also from Latin America and the ghettos there sprang a growing popularity of the style, which stood with the gang members as a symbol of belonging. The inmates in American prisons also influenced the development of the actually forbidden tattoos. With religious messages they wanted to hold on to the hope of a life outside the cells or express their hatred towards the prison guards through aggressive statements.
Attention when choosing the right text
What comes to my mind immediately when I think of lettering tattoos is the name of the ex-partner, which people have as a proof of love forever under the skin. After five months, it's all over and you're left alone with nothing but the name of the supposed love of your life on your right forearm. The commercial of a French car manufacturer advertises that you can simply look for a new partner with the same name and thus kill two birds with one stone. In real life this is rather improbable, which is why special caution is required when choosing a name. One's own children or parents, on the other hand, are a better option for immortalization instead of one's partner. After all, blood is known to be thicker than water. Also a life motto, birth dates or an inspiring word like "Faith" or "Selflove" are popular motifs for a very individual lettering tattoo. Many such letterings give individuals courage, motivation, and strength, or bring up a particularly emotional time in life and the memories associated with it. Of course, it is especially advisable to prefer to double check the selected text for grammar and spelling errors. Even Ariana Grande has gotten a tattoo with the wrong meaning. "7 Rings" (the name of one of her songs) became "Shichirin" (charcoal grill) due to incorrect Japanese characters. Pretty embarrassing and absolutely avoidable with the right research.
From detailed lettering to fine lines
In the past, people primarily tattooed large, curved lettering with shading and detail. Today, the trend is more towards fine lines and individual fonts. It does not matter whether the actual text is easy to read or only visible at second glance. With fine lines, the tattoo can be stung very small, the larger and wider the font, the larger the entire tattoo should be. A great help in finding the right lettering tattoo is the site Dafont.com. Here you can choose your personal favorite among numerous fonts and even have your desired text converted directly. So nothing stands in the way of your next letter tattoo!
