Script Tattoos

Script tattoos are one of the best ways to express yourself. When deciding to get a script tattoo the font is just as important as the words themselves. The font chosen for a text tattoo is important in representing the intended message of the tattoo. Choosing a font that suits the message can make the tattoo even more appealing.

There is a vast range of fonts to choose from. Most tattoo shops and artists will be able to help you choose the best font for your script tattoo, or customers can bring in a printed version of the tattoo from which a stencil can be made.

Handwritten designs by yourself, a child or parent for example, are an excellent way to really personalize a script tattoo.

The placement of a script tattoo will have an impact on how large the lettering can be, so it’s important to consider the amount of space into which the design will be placed. When choosing a small space like a wrist or ankle, it is better to choose a simple font as too many curls or flourishes can make the words unreadable.

A font that is too small will also not hold up in years to come, as the skin changes and the letters merge and become a blur.

Choosing the design, size and placement of your script tattoo are all part of the expressive process, especially for those who feel their word or phrase can best be expressed through the use of body art.
