Considering a script tattoo? A unique and meaningful tattoo
Script tattoos are tattoos that consist entirely of text. The text can be anything from quotes, words, letters, song lyrics, or personal mottos that hold special meaning for the person getting the tattoo. The text can also be part of a larger design as well.
The font and size of the text can be customized according to the customer's preferences and the placement of the tattoo.
A major advantage of script tattoos is that they allow for personal and unique self-expression. By choosing text that has meaning to you, you can create a tattoo that tells your own story and represents what you stand for.
Script tattoos are also versatile when it comes to placement, as they can be tattooed on almost any part of the body. They age well and maintain their clarity over time, making them a great long-term investment.
WHICH FONT IS BEST FOR SCRIPT TATTOOS?
When choosing a font for your script tattoo, there are many options to consider. The best font for your tattoo depends entirely on your personal preference and the style you want to achieve.
Some popular fonts for script tattoos include:
- Cursive fonts: These mimic the flowing, handwritten style and are a popular choice for script tattoos. Examples include Edwardian Script, Lavanderia, and Pacifico.
- Serif fonts: These have small lines or embellishments at the ends of each letter, giving the tattoo a more elegant touch. Popular serif fonts include Times New Roman, Garamond, and Bodoni.
- Sans-serif fonts: These fonts have a cleaner, more modern appearance, with no extra lines or decorations at the ends of the letters. They’re a great choice if you're looking for a minimalist or contemporary design. Popular sans-serif fonts for tattoos include Helvetica, Futura, and Arial.
For smaller tattoos , a more compact font may be best, while larger tattoos allow for more intricate and detailed lettering.
When you explore fonts online, you'll find a wide variety of options, from thick and thin letters to slanted and straight, wide and narrow. Each font has its own distinctive characteristics, and your choice can influence how the text is perceived by those who view the tattoo.
This is often one of the time-consuming parts of the process, as there are many options to choose from.
You can experiment with different words and fonts on websites like www.dafont.com, which is a great tool for finding the right font. This is also a website we use ourselves.
CUSTOM SCRIPT
A "custom script" is a font that is specifically designed for you. It is unique and not available to the general public. Many tattoo artists create their own fonts, which can be simple or more detailed and decorative. This type of script is customized to the customer's preferences and can be placed on different parts of the body, depending on the design and what the customer desires.
Handwritten texts
We’ve seen an increase in the popularity of personal handwritten texts in recent years. These can be texts written by loved ones, and we can create a completely unique script tattoo based on them.
It can be anything from small texts to signatures. It’s important to understand that we can only replicate what is actually written, and we cannot learn the person's handwriting style to create new texts based on it, even though many people believe that’s possible.
The same applies to Arabic or Chinese script. Many ask us which of our artists is best for these texts. All our artists can create them, but we cannot help with understanding what the text actually says.
As long as you have what you want to tattoo clearly defined, we can create it for you.
In the end, the font you choose for your script tattoo should be one that suits your personal style.
Benefits of script tattoos
