Names
Getting a name tattooed on your body is a big deal. People will gawk at you, and there are a million questions you'll have to answer about why it's there. Perhaps you'll be asked whether this is some sort of commitment or if it's just a tattoo.
A name tattoo on your body is a great way to remember someone or something and to always keep that person close. It could be of your parents, siblings, friends, or someone who significantly impacted your life.
Foreign language tattoos
Using a foreign language can add depth to your next script tattoo. By showcasing a feeling, song lyrics or simply your heritage, these designs require careful consideration. With over 7,000 languages in the world, when going for a foreign language tattoo proper research is necessary so you don’t end up with something with a completely different meaning.
Custom Script
With literally thousands of fonts to choose from, why go with something ordinary when you can be extraordinary with a custom script?
Whether you combine different fonts or mimic someone’s handwriting, there are plenty of options to make your new script tattoo personal to you.
This tattoo style can go ANYWHERE on the body depending on the font size. When you have your script where you can see it, you’ll constantly be reminded to live by what it says.
