Signed in Ink: Tattoo Lettering
March 12, 2013
People love getting sayings, words, and names tattooed on them. Good or bad, written and quotation tattoos are not going anywhere, and right now people are really into fancy fonts for them! From the poetic to the pathetic, ingenious to the ambiguous, bland to the bold; these are among the most popular types of tats. A picture might say a thousand words, but sometimes you just have to go for the straight-up, simple and to the point: in actual written word, with bad ass fonts.
That doesn’t mean it has to be boring however, because people are getting really crafty and creative with their choice in tattoo lettering these days. Basically, if the font appears online or in the vast database of a system such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, it can be recreated in ink, on the skin. Even actual handwriting is being used!
While some people take this even further, and get their stuff written in other, more decorative languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Hindi, the ways the Western, English language can be written are quite extensive, and people love to get imaginative here! Quotation tattoos can be some of the most original, and if you want to be set apart from the crowd even more so, using a fancy font on your ink gets the job done right!
