Be inspired by the selected ideas and find the right font for your own tattoo!
Tips on how to choose the right tattoo font
The variety of pretty tattoo fonts is particularly large, which is why deciding on the right font is often difficult. Since a tattoo in most cases howeverremains for eternity, at least if it is not ultimately removed with a laser, you should not make your selection arbitrarily. It's worth giving enough thought to the exact design before getting a tattoo so that you don't regret it after a while. Even if you have chosen the perfect saying or the coolest life motto, you should now combine the selected lettering with a suitable font.
When choosing the font for your word, saying or quote tattoo, there are a few important things to consider. On the one hand, you should choose a readable font so that the tattoo does not lose its meaning. This is especially true in cases when the tattoo consists only of the selected lettering and does not contain any other elements. Fonts with both block letters and script fonts are suitable and the choice is usually purely a matter of taste.
However, when it comes to tattoo designs with longer sayings or quotes, you should choose carefully. Especially for multi-line tattoos, the font chosen should have fewer flourishes, otherwise the individual words sometimes become unreadable. Lettering with thin letters is also recommended to give the design an elegant, simple look.
If you decide on a tattoo design with a saying, you should consider the overall concept of your tattoo in advance. How much space should the design take up on the chosen part of the body? How big should the letters be? Will the tattoo be supplemented by other symbols or kept simple? The answers to all of these questions ultimately determine the font for the tattoo. The tattoo artist can also help you choose and give you tips and advice on the best font. Some tattoo artists even develop their own original fonts that you can also consider. These sometimes consist of different symbols, like in the example above, and look really creative and beautiful on the skin.
Popular fonts
Without a doubt, more than one font is suitable for every tattoo design. That's why your own taste plays a crucial role when choosing. However, if you don't have an eye for aesthetics, you might prefer to leave your tattoo in the hands of a trusted tattoo artist. On the whole, there are some tattoo fonts that are more common and are considered popular variants for beautiful tattoos with sayings.
Typewriter or typewriter font is considered a great font idea for many tattoos. Although this font is printed in block letters, it has small inaccuracies, just like the old typewriters. In the end, the Typewriter font tattoo is completely legible and has a touch of vintage flair. This font is suitable for words as well as longer sayings and quotes.
If you particularly like blackwork tattoos, you can have a word, number or initials engraved on a black background. These tattoos are not that common and are therefore a wonderful idea for original tattoo design. Blackout and Impact Label are suitable fonts. Almost any part of the body is suitable for this, although smaller tattoos are recommended.
Tattoos are particularly popular among famous people and Hollywood stars and almost every singer or actor has at least one tattoo on their skin. These can also serve as inspiration for your own design. American actress and model Megan Fox has a beautiful saying tattooed on her shoulder blade, engraved in an elegant font. The Old English font is reminiscent of old children's books and looks really elegant on the skin.
If it's a short saying or just one word, then cursive fonts work well. With their beautifully curved letters, such fonts give a romantic flair and look elegant and decorative on the skin. Cursive writing is therefore more suitable for women's tattoos that are done on various parts of the body, such as the wrist, collarbone or shoulder blade.
If you have beautiful handwriting, you can write your tattoo in your own handwriting. Alternatively, you can ask your loved one, mother, or best friend to write the relevant word or quote on a piece of paper and then engrave their handwriting on their skin. This definitely makes the tattoo more personal and takes on a very special meaning.
However, some people deliberately choose a tattoo font that is difficult to read so that the engraved saying is not immediately understood. In this way, the tattoo design can be more or less hidden, just like with words and sayings in different languages.
If you would like to have the design of your tattoo ready before visiting the tattoo studio, you can also create various tattoo fonts yourself. The so-called font generator can help with this. You can find different tattoo font generators all over the internet. There you can enter the desired text for the tattoo and try out different fonts until you find the one that suits you. The finished tattoo design can then be downloaded free of charge and provided to the tattoo artist as a template.
Arabic tattoo fonts
So that your tattoo cannot be read by everyone, you can opt for an exotic font and language. Therefore, tattoos with sayings in Sanskrit, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese are particularly popular. In addition, fonts such as Arabic script look particularly elegant and make for a beautiful tattoo design. Famous ladies like Victoria Beckham and Selena Gomez have also had a saying engraved on their skin in exotic writing.
