BRAIDED LETTER TATTOOS

Very popular, tattoos with intertwined initials of names are suitable for those who want to imprint on their body and indelibly a trace of the loved one. It is precisely the tattoos with intertwined letters that often represent a couple's choice to share together for a special occasion.

There are many options for  alphabet tattoos . You have to choose the calligraphy that best represents the symbolic message, then sift through the different fonts. From the minimal stylized ones to the more baroque ones with thanks, consider whether to prefer tattoos with capital letters or tattoos in italics .

GOTHIC LETTERS TATTOO

There are many lovers of Gothic letter tattoos. The ideal tool to create a writing in the Gothic alphabet is the nib , but the skilled hand of a trusted tattoo artist will be able to reproduce it with the tattoo needle.

The characters of this handwriting are thick , full and intense, which is why very often colored letters are preferred, which find full expression in tattoos with Gothic letters or Celtic letters. To decorate the monogram it is possible to add designs and embellishments by imitating the miniatures made by scribes who in the Middle Ages copied religious manuscripts.

JAPANESE LETTERS TATTOO

 

They populated the childhood of those who grew up between Manga comics and Anime cartoons . Oriental letters are the ideal choice for those who want to impress a message on their skin that only a few will be able to encode. The ideograms Japanese and Kanji are not letters, but the graphic symbols that represent an idea. This leaves plenty of room for imagination, but also a large margin of error.

So if you want Japanese letter tattoos make sure you choose the image corresponding to the original message . Better if you have the opportunity to ask directly to someone who knows the language and culture of the land of the Rising Sun well.

TATTOO WITH CHINESE LETTERS

If we are looking for images of Chinese letter tattoos we must remember that the country of the Great Wall has a language based not on a Latin alphabet like ours, but on characters. The Chinese characters occupy a square area and develop vertically, so they are perfect for tattoos in certain areas of the body such as the back,  behind the  neck , arm , finger or calf .

As with Japanese characters, it is very important to know the meaning of the ideogram . It can symbolically represent the translation of a thought, a motto or simply a reference to a loved one who is no longer alive. A fancy variant is the letter and flower tattoo that has petals and buds of Asian plants such as lotus or peach (Sakura) flowers .

STYLIZED LETTER TATTOOS

The art of calligraphy has the opportunity to express itself at its best in tattoos with elegant stylized letters . The many examples of lettering that we find on the web can be an excellent source of inspiration for the choice of letters for tattoos or, in general, the typeface that best suits our taste.

There are so many fonts for tattoos that we can range from basic fonts with or without Serif (thank you), to complex square letters, in an elven or medieval style. There is also the more boyish genre such as scribbles and graffiti. The simplicity of the stylized letter can also contrast with particular designs such  as a heart or specific symbols, as is the case with infinity letter tattoos.

INITIAL LETTER TATTOOS

The tattoos with the initials of the names are timeless. Moms and dads very often celebrate the birth of a new family member with child name initial tattoos. The letters of each member of the family unit can be intertwined by adding the dates of birth.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for couple tattoo ideas,  we have selected many photos of tattoos with initials and hearts , the universal symbol of love that seals a union. Not necessarily both tattoos need to be identical. It is possible to vary the letter, size and position according to who is to be tattooed, whether a man or a woman. Look how beautiful the letter S and the letter C are joined in the heart.

TATTOO LETTERS ALPHABET

In line with the fashion of the 90s - recently back in vogue - it is possible to blend tattoos with letters of the alphabet with traditional ones of the Maori tribes, the Pacific Islands or the Native Americans. All populations where the tattoo had a specific cultural meaning that went well beyond the purely aesthetic aspect. This is the case of  Maori tattoos  symbolizing the passage to adulthood.

We can then take inspiration from these exotic peoples and decorate the body with tribal letters superimposed on other designs such as shamrocks, hearts, wings, stars, crosses and feathers .

TATTOOS WITH LETTERS ON THE FINGERS

 

Letter tattoos, where to get them? Once you have decided the type of letter, alphabet and font, you just have to think about which part of the body to tattoo. An original idea is that of tattoos on the fingers of the hand .

In fact, those who choose to tattoo the inner phalanx of the index or middle fingers will get a decidedly less visible tattoo than those who opt for the front. In fact, many spouses decide to tattoo the partner's initial on the ring finger instead of the classic wedding ring . For the size ? In this case we recommend small tattoos with non-colored letters.

LETTER TATTOOS ON WRIST AND ARM

A valid alternative for those who prefer a less conspicuous solution is represented by tattoos with letters on the wrist , always graceful and easily camouflaged under clothes, at least in winter!

The most common choice is cursive lettering for wrist tattoos, but block letters are fine too if you choose the right font. Look at the images of the letter R with the crown, the letter B as a pendant or the simple and graphic letter M.

TATTOO LETTERS ON THE BODY

Letter tattoos on the body certainly leave a noticeably wider margin for the tattoo artist, allowing him to make a larger and more detailed drawing.

The most suitable areas of the body are the chest , the side , the foot , the shoulder or behind the neck where the tattoo can be easily hidden by the hair.

The letters of foreign languages ​​such as those of Arabic and Cyrillic are also splendid designs and disturbing graphics. They are aesthetically beautiful and at the same time filled with meaning that can easily be hidden.
