A tattoo doesn't necessarily have to have a
picture. Tattoo lettering can be done as well. Name tattoos seem
to rule the tattoo lettering world. Many people prefer their
three initials or perhaps a family name or maybe a symbol that
is a synonym for them. Or perhaps a single capital letter that
stands for their first or last name will do too.
Tattoo lettering has its origin from the initials of a person or
a gang and today it is one of the most popular tattoo designs
the world over. The arrival of numerous varieties of fonts of
the English alphabet and the vanishing of the language barriers
made the tattoo lettering alphabet increasingly popular.

People choose tattoo lettering in different fonts and in different
languages like Chinese, Japanese Spanish, old English, tribal etc.
No matter what the tattoo letters that one chooses, one should consider
some kind of elaboration in ones tattoo design. The illuminated
manuscripts are a fabulous example of the types of drawings that can be
created with a capital letter as a basis. Letters have been elaborated
over the centuries. Calligraphy is essential to start off with while
looking for a capital letter tattoo design.
Tattoo lettering can reflect the wearer's style or add elegance to a
picture. Design tattoo lettering can come from pre-drawn sketch or can
be created from scratch for a unique look.
If one is choosing lettering to accompany a picture tattoo, one will
want to choose a tattoo lettering style that matches the artwork. One
can even incorporate picture elements into the letter. For Celtic tattoo
lettering, the letters might be formed from intricate Celtic knots. On
tribal tattoo lettering, bold black letters will harmonize best. A
picture of a butterfly might go with finely drawn script or while a
tiger might look better with stronger lines.
A lotus design will go with Chinese script tattoos etc. Japanese tattoo
sketches of lettering can also be chosen to go along with a Japanese
dragon. Custom tattoo lettering can also be done as well. Tattoo
lettering can incorporate water, fire, or other symbols, too. Tattoo
fonts should be appropriately chosen according to the size of the
tattoo.
There are a lot of tattoo lettering designs that are available. If one
chooses lettering in a foreign language, one needs to make sure that the
flash is drawn correctly. If one is not good at the language, one needs
to find a native speaker or other expert to verify. For tattoos with
drawings as well as script, one may want to make sure that the style of
the artwork and the language matches. Japanese writing with a Cross
design could does not go to well. Tattoos are an art; one should know
what one is combining, whatever languages and styles that are chosen.
A tattoo doesn't have to have a picture. Initials can show and mean a
lot as well. A single word can have a powerful meaning. Dates can even
be tattooed that mark transitions or life-changing events. Phrases done
with care by a good artist can make beautiful tattoos. All tattoos
become less distinct with time as the tattoo ink migrates below the
skin. Tattoo lettering involves fine lines or small letters that can
become unreadable. Letters should be well-spaced and lines should be
fine and even. ..
