One of the most common styles in the tattoo industry is the application of some kind of text to complete the tattoo in the end. Choosing text is tricky, but choosing the font itself will be even more difficult. Given the whole sea of ​​​​options, as well as the individual approach of the master to everyone, you can talk for a long time about specific types of tattoos.

Font style

How to choose a font for a tattoo? First of all, if you have decided on the text, you need to choose the appropriate design. In addition, it is worth considering the style of the client himself, which will suit the style of his hobby, work, life values. Based on many details, you can determine the best option for yourself. Note that with us you can view all tattoo fonts online, as well as get help and advice from the support service. To do this, go to the appropriate category and consider the options offered. You can also explore hundreds of other options on the net to get an idea of ​​how the tattoo will look on the place you are going to apply it.

Font size

To determine the font size, you need to determine the exact placement of the text. By positioning it, you can imagine other size options - the width and length of each letter. The text can consist of both lowercase letters and begin with a capital letter, highlighting the name or city, country.

Lettering color

If you have considered tattoo fonts and decided on the option, and are also confident in the subject of the inscription, you can consider the color palette. Perhaps the best option would be a black and white tattoo, or it would be more relevant to make a tattoo in bright colors. You can make several colors by combining them:

• Make a bright stroke.
• Add colored shadow.
• Filling letters can be with color transitions.

Tattoo fonts from our masters

Consult with our masters about the choice of font and colors, as well as shades and style of application, choose the best option and have it performed by the tattoo artist who advised you. This is the best option to get the desired result. The fonts selected on the site are selected online as the best and most successful for almost any place of application. The style of the tattoo itself can be either minimalism or gothic or graphics. You yourself choose the best style for your tattoo, but the advice of the master will always be useful. Consider tattoo fonts with us, think about the design, choose several options and think over all the details in advance.

Lettering language

An important factor is the chosen language for the tattoo. Based on the choice, you need to figure out the font, since not every one of them looks good in one language or another. For understanding online, write down the inscription that you are going to fill in order to consider all the advantages and disadvantages of one or another font.

Popular places for a tattoo

The place for a tattoo is the choice of the client, however, popular places for applying fonts are well-established. Such places can be considered the forearms of the hands, legs, less often there are inscriptions on the hands, back. Many clients consider tattoo fonts to be performed on the chest, such as a serial number or the name of a loved one.

Font Preferences

You can immediately imagine that girls love sophistication, sophistication of lines, thin and light fonts more. If we talk about the male gender, then preference is given to larger, bolder and more sloppy inscriptions, most of which have a stroke, possibly in color. However, these standards are not always suitable for our clients, given that most of them are people with a bright appearance and good taste.

Prices for tattoo fonts

The cost of a tattoo directly depends on the size of the letters, the length of the inscription and the complexity of the font itself. It will also vary from the number of colors used to complete the work. You can get more detailed information directly in the salon, from the chosen master. Prices for tattoo fonts from different masters can be different, depending on the experience and evaluation of the order by the tattoo artist.

Tattoo inscriptions are becoming more fashionable and popular these days. Their demand is explained by the fact that more and more people around the world choose as a tattoo not a simple drawing, but a text with a deep meaning. Text phrases can be important words, names, short quotes or aphorisms that allow others to demonstrate their views on life. In the article, we will tell you which font for a tattoo a guy or a girl can choose, and also, we will consider beautiful types of inscriptions in various styles.

How to choose a font for a tattoo?

The selection of fonts for a tattoo is a long and difficult task. In general, there are many sites and programs on the Internet that allow you to select fonts for tattoo inscriptions online. However, if you do not want to meet another person with the same beautiful font, we advise you to contact the master, who will design lettering tattoo styles especially for you. Of course, you will have to pay extra for this service, but in the end, you will get unique beautiful letters that you will not find anywhere else.

In general, girls prefer ornate, thin and curvy lines of writing, which are often decorated with additional elements: stars, butterflies, flowers, etc. While men give their choice in favor of bold, black and thick letters.

Note that special attention should be paid not so much to the appearance of the inscription as to the correctly selected spacing between letters. Indeed, in the event that the master applies small letters close to each other, the inscription will eventually turn into an unreadable partak, which will need to be removed with a laser or interrupted by some pattern.

Types of fonts for tattoos

You thought well and decided that you want to make a tattoo inscription on your body. The next important step to take is to decide which tattoo font you would like to use for your text. Since no one would want a tattoo to look boring and unattractive, you should do some research and choose a tattoo font that will give you more beauty and personality.

The most popular tattoo fonts are Latin, Celtic, English and Russian letters. They are the ones that impress most body art enthusiasts because they look individual and unique. Old English fonts are also often used in tattoos because they have a sophisticated look and feel of the Middle Ages. Other beautiful style options include graffiti, calligraphy, chicano, minimalism, gothic, printed alphabet, etc.

Latin script

Latin letters are distinguished by clarity and geometric simplicity of forms. That is why Latin is one of the most common styles in the art of body art. The Latin alphabet is chosen by many girls, putting tattoos on their wrists.

Gothic

Tattoo letters in Gothic writing are distinguished by broken thick lines and roundings that look like spiky almonds. Basically, this tattoo font is chosen by representatives of the strong half of humanity. Most often, inscriptions in the Gothic style are applied to the forearms, less often to the chest.

Celtic font

The Celtic style of writing was formed around the 6th or 7th century after the introduction of Christianity in Ireland. It was at this time that the monks began to write about the gospel. An example of writing Celtic letters has its own characteristics. At the beginning of the text, a large and decorated capital letter is depicted, after which the text of the usual size is applied. Another feature of writing in the Celtic style is the use of triangular figures at the top of the letters.

Graffiti

Nowadays, graffiti is considered illegal street art in many countries. But the country that treats graffiti with great love is Brazil (the city of Sao Paulo). It is he who is considered the current center of inspiration for graffiti artists. Graffiti can have different styles. Usually this font has two or three colors and is made in the form of three-dimensional letters with a bold outline.

Samples of different styles for tattoo inscriptions

Below are the most beautiful lettering tattoo styles. We hope that the presented selection will help you decide on the type of future tattoo.

Letter tattoo: sketches

Each master working in the salon has a portfolio that he can provide to his client. With it, you can quickly select a tattoo font and reduce the lengthy search process to a minimum. But if you want to make a choice yourself, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the selection of sketches below.

“She personifies the beginning of nature, giving rise to all forms of existence. Her sign is Scorpio. Its color is a sea wave. Her note is re. Her planet is Mars and the number is 40.

This is a quote about the letter "M" from "Archeometry". This is one of the works of Seine-Yves Dalveidre. The French occultist lived at the turn of the 20th century and found a connection between letters and colors, elements, sounds. Dalveidr's statements are controversial, because how to prove the relationship of "M" and the sea?

However, the works of Saint-Yves prove the view of the alphabet as a symbolic system, each element of which is a separate world. That is why tattoo letters are able to express more colorful pictures and look deeper into the soul. Let's consider a number of values.

The meaning of the tattoo "Letters"

In a human sense beautiful letters for tattoo change meaning depending on belonging to a particular language. There are not only true, but also conditional, for example, the alchemical alphabet.

This is a system of symbols used by medieval scientists in search of the philosopher's stone, which turns any matter into gold. So, "C" for alchemists is a sign of firing.

It can be taken literally, or allegorically, for example, as the formation and hardening of personality. Tattoo "Letter M" for chemists of the Middle Ages it would become a symbol of androgyny.

Andogens are steroid hormones. They are responsible for male manifestations. In fashion, androgynous images are called average, suitable for both sexes. Such is the water, it has a destructive masculine power and a flowing lightness of the feminine.

Of the true languages, most are interested in the group that borrowed the letters of the Latin alphabet. These include English, French, German, partly Russian. The most reasonable interpretations of Latin letters are given by Alice Bailey.

She is a theosophist and writer of the 20th century. Photo of the tattoo letter "A" Bailey connects with the cone, and hence the pyramid. The theosophist compared the descending lines of the sign with grief, and the wide base at the sharp end with the root cause of all things.

The letter "C" in the Latin alphabet is logically compared with the waning moon and the sea, on which the Earth's satellite has influence. It's no secret that the tides are "tied" to the lunar cycle. In it, by the way, 28 days. The same number of letters in the Arabic alphabet. However, now is not about him.

The letter "D" tattoo could become a symbol of a diamond, light and day. But, in the Latin alphabet, the sign is written as "D". Bailey did not consider the Russian version.

"D" - common for Slavic alphabets. In all of them, except Ukrainian, it is in the 5th position. The essence of the sign is clear from the Old Slavonic alphabets, where instead of “D” it says “Good”.

Let's return to the topic of the Latin alphabet. Tattoo letter "E" in it - the symbol of the sun, and "F" - the fire of life. The energy of creativity is associated with the letter "G".

"H" clearly resembles the sign of Gemini, which means it speaks of duality and the threshold. Sketches of the tattoo letter " I" can become a hint at the beginning, the axis of the universe, the essence of being.

Bailey deciphered the letter "L" as "power". The interpretation of "M" partly coincided with the Dalweidrian view, also referring to sea waves. As for “N”, it is a symbol of a writhing snake, which means temptation, healing and mortal danger at the same time.

The letter "S" has a similar meaning. "O" is logically connected with the disk of the daylight, the perfection and infinity of the Universe. P and R have become variants of the shepherd's staff, the pillar of wanderers.

Letter tattoo pictures"T" personify, from Bailey's point of view, double-sided ax and hammer. There are analogies with the cross. The last value is supported by the letter "X". This is the cross of light, the unity of the upper and lower spaces.

The Latin letter U is considered a sign of Jupiter, his power and militancy. For a fan of Zeus, the symbol "Z" is more suitable. It is associated with lightning.

"Y" in Latin is a symbol of the trinity and, at the same time, a crossroads. The letter "V" remains. She personifies the vessel, which means that a tattoo with a sign can tell about the filling of the soul or mind. By analogy, "V" can hint at devastation, readiness for new information and new experiences.

If you prefer tattoo "Latin letters" Slavic alphabet, the meanings of many characters will be different. We've already talked about D. Let's mention a few more.

So, "B" in the old days was pronounced like "Bori". The letter "G" is short for "Verbs". Accordingly, a tattoo with a sign can call for honesty, dialogue.

Photo tattoo letters"E" in accordance with the Old Slavic alphabet is translated as "Ezm". This is how the word "eat" was pronounced in the old days. Accordingly, the tattoo reminds of the existent, emphasizes the materiality of the world.

If you fill the letter "Zh", you can hint at an interesting situation or, in general, about life-giving power. In the old days, instead of "Zh" they pronounced "Belly".

In a similar way, parse tattoo "English letters", Italian, Hebrew signs, hieroglyphs. There are thousands of symbols, and even more of their meanings.

For many, signs are associated with a personal, for example, own name. So, it is difficult to reveal all the nuances of the meanings of letters. Let's figure out better where to put the symbols.

Where to make a tattoo "Letters"

Name Letter Tattoo, like other sketches, is transferred to any part of the body. This is the universality of written signs. They are geometrically verified, simple. Even hieroglyphs and petrographs, complex from a calligraphic point of view, are elementary in the artist's opinion.

Pictures fit on the edges of the fingers, palms, feet, are located on the tongue, behind the ears, near the ankles and collarbones. Often found tattoo letters on the wrist.

It is more difficult to expand the symbols to the scale of the back, abdomen, hips. Here you have to add accompaniment. Any plots become them for letters. It can be flames, or sea waves.

It is not forbidden to put playing cards or a skull next to the written symbols. Stuffed who in what much. If you want to get by with only letters, while filling out an extensive “canvas”, they resort to suggestions.

Someone puts great quotes on the body, and someone dresses their own thoughts in a material form. By the way, it does not interfere with thinking about the pain associated with application.

On different parts of the body, the work of a tattoo machine is perceived differently. The pain threshold is individual. But, to make a tattoo with a letter on the knee is always more painful than on the stomach.

Joints are bones covered with skin. The skeleton is not only close to the surface, but also not “repulsed” by the fat layer. The needle with the dye will not reach the bones, entering only the upper layers of the skin.

However, the sensation is as if the metal is knocking on the joint. By analogy, we are considering applying it to the elbows, ankles, collarbones, over the ribs, shoulder blades and spine.

The neck stands apart. Front and sides are boneless. However, the skin, as on the face, is thin and full of nerve endings. They transmit millions of disturbing impulses to the brain.

Even a small one on the neck for a person with a low pain defect is torment. Similar sensations can overtake when pricking symbols in intimate areas.

In contrast to problematic areas, the stomach, buttocks, thighs, calves and arms stand up. The skin is dense, there are few neurons in the cover, there is a fatty layer, and the bones are either removed or absent. Consequently, even sensitive natures can be stuffed with large-scale inscriptions, perhaps with an artistic addition.

Separate conversation - armpits. In terms of soreness, the area belongs to the average. Few want to see a tattoo in the armpit. But, there are even fewer masters ready to take on an order.

Here the question is no longer in the aesthetics of the chosen area, but in the complexity of the work. With the aggressive impact of the tattoo machine, sweat is released. In addition to an unpleasant smell, the process is fraught with blurring of the contours outlined by the master.

In other words, in the armpits it is impossible to fill according to the pattern. The artist must be an associate. In addition to the absence of the intended lines of the pattern, you will have to deal with the spreading of the dye in the skin.

Needle movements should be as fast and accurate as possible. However, the simplicity of the geometry of the letters allows you to display them even in the armpits in an hour and a half.

Take into account when choosing a place for stands and demonstrativeness of the picture. Some work does not allow wearing tattoos in open places, some are restricted by religion.

Someone considers the image too personal, only for their own. Others, on the contrary, want to demonstrate a letter or a set of characters to the whole world, they are not constrained by circumstances.

Finally, we weigh the possibility of correcting body imperfections with the help of a tattoo. If there is one letter in the plans, it can cover a small scar or pigment spot. A large-scale tattoo is able to disguise an unsuccessful one applied earlier, or a large scar left after the operation.

Popular sketches of the tattoo "Letters"

The emphasis in tattoos with letters is usually done on the font. For example, signs twisted from ropes or ribbons are popular. The first option is more often chosen by men, emphasizing the solidity and strength of nature. Ribbon letters are ordered by women, thereby emphasizing lightness and playfulness.

In addition to ribbons, flowers are often placed. They reinforce the symbolism and give them beauty. The beauty of written symbols in their purest form is achieved, for example, by stamp fonts.

They are bold and ornate, with an abundance of curls and embellishments. The latter include drawing the tip of the letter in the shape of a heart, crown or star.

Popular in tattoos with letters are also special effects in the form of blood smudges, scattered sparkles or ink blots. It is possible to draw letters with white paint.

This gives the impression that the tattoo appears from under the skin. Reception is relevant, for example, for the letter of your name, or a child. However, white tattoos quickly blur, lose clarity.

Approximately every 3 years, an update is required. Color tattoos are corrected at least once every 5 years, and monochrome tattoos do not require maintenance 10-15.

Speaking of popular tattoos with letters, it is worth mentioning double drawings. They are duplicated on the bodies of several people. As a rule, symbols are applied to the wrists in order to unite, holding hands.

The option is relevant for lovers stuffing each other's initials. Suitable for close friends or relatives. A father and son can fill, for example, a common surname.

Performing a double with letters is real and within the framework of one body. The outer edges of the palms will do. The inscriptions on them will come together if you bend your fingers, connecting the knuckles of your fists.

Connect really and the letters inscribed on the 1st phalanges of the fingers. Also, you can break the written characters into two parts, placing them along the edges of the forearms.

Bringing the hands together, we get a single inscription. If ancient letters are used in it, unity with past generations is also ensured. The oldest written sign, by the way, is "O".

This letter was still in the Phoenician alphabet. It was created 3,300 years ago and is considered the first on earth. There were no other modern letters in the Phoenician alphabet.
