Tattoo Lettering Designs

Tattoo lettering is a very important part of any tattoo design. Luckily there are literally thousands of font styles to choose from. Whether you are getting words alone or a design along with wording, choosing the right style of lettering is very important. Here are some lettering tips and ideas to get you started.

Look at several different fonts before deciding which one you want for your tattoo. If you don't, you may see something you like better after you've already gotten it done, then it will be too late.
If you are getting a design plus words, arrange the design and wording in different ways and experiment with several lettering styles to see which one you like the best.
Try adding some pizzaz to your lettering by making the first letter of each word a different color or each letter of the word a different color.
Substitute a letter for a symbol. For example make the "o" in the word "love" a heart.
If you're just going with words, try adding a floral design or vines into the wording to make it more unique.
To add some mystery to your design, spell the words backwards or make them a mirror image.
Many online tattoo galleries along with their designs, have a listing of fonts to choose from. You can also do an online search for "tattoo lettering fonts" to find several websites that have them available for free to download. There is such a wide variety of tattoo lettering available today that no matter what kind of style you have in mind, you are sure to find what you're looking for.
