Work the Words

Language is a beautiful art that we use every day to communicate with family, friends and people that we do not even know.

When an individual decides to put words on their body permanently, it is important that those words are well thought out, and in a design that you love.

When I first started getting tattoos, I designed objects and symbols that represented a deep meaning to me, such as music related and tributes. Then, after a period where my faith was failing; in myself and in others, I inked the word "believe". Ever since, script tattoos have been one of my favorites.

Again, it is important to find a font that best represents your own personality, as well as what the words are saying. From biblical to poetic..to Disney; Words reflect what one wishes to reveal bluntly to the world.

Many artists can design a font for you in the shop! It is in your best interest to bring them an idea of what you want the font to look like so that they may base the design around your desires.

Some choose ambigrams, which are fancy scripts that say a word or phrase, then read another or a the same phrase upside down.

And then there are those who ink other people's handwriting; Like Amanda for example. She is the ultimate Staind fan, who hurried to get their autographs permanent after meeting the band at a concert.

Tattoos with words can be straight forward with their meaning, or leave more to the imagination. Whether in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Latin, Chinese or your own personal language of love, tattoos are forever. So, make sure that you will always stand by your ink.
