Tattoos have gained popularity in ancient times when the shamans have applied behind the facing drawings. Then the tattoo became popular with the sailors, later were the attribute of people of informal, which relate to any subculture. Now in the modern world there is no framework in choosing someone who can apply a tattoo, and who is not. Therefore, so much diverse styles developed. In this article, consider tattoos in the style of lettering, we describe the features of such a tattoo, consider the sketches, as well as let's talk about the deposits.
Features style
Tattoos with inscriptions are acquired by universal popularity. This is explained by two things:
Many do not want to apply drawings on their body, whatever the tiny they are;
In the inscription you can lay more sense that, indeed, it will be relevant to the whole life.
Text can be selected by different criteria. This may be the date, any word, the name of the person, phrase, as well as aphorism. All this, like the drawing, will reflect a look at life.
Before talking about the features of tattoos in the style of lettering, first it is necessary to understand that this word, in general, means and where it went.
Lettering - from English is literally translated as "letter", "inscription". It turns out any additional function of lettering in itself does not bear. So in tattoos. This is an inscription made in different styles, different fonts.
The special uniqueness of this style is that it is not divided into gender. That is, any font or inscription is not intended for men or for women. The inscriptions are chosen on the basis of the special internal preferences of the person who will fill the tattoo. This applies to the meaning. Of course, there are also such aspects that women prefer more suitable letters and numbers, add to the quote of the sprocket, butterflies, and also choose a thinner line of the contour with the addition of different colors. Men choose a brutal style with thick lines, bold edging, preferably black. But this can be attributed only to stereotypes, no more.
But still the choice of tattoo is quite time consuming, even if, for example, the inscription was chosen, it is necessary to choose a font, and this is a very difficult lesson.
The age of technology has many sites that may pick up sketches with fonts, but it will be better to know which font styles are popular to choose the same.
The first thing to pay attention to in a particular font is Interval between letters. This is especially true of small tattoos, because with time the color can begin to fall out and dissolve, and then the inscription will turn into a unreadable bliss, which can hardly be fixed to somehow. Only if you delete a tattoo or interrupt it with a new pattern.
Consider the main fonts that are chosen for the inscriptions.
Letters . They have a clear clarity of the contour and geometric simplicity. For these properties, Latin has become the most popular among other styles. Well, a large number of winged properties in the dead language also adds popularity.
- Gothic letters They differ particularly demolished, beveled lines with some rounding at the ends. The contour of letters is thick, greasy. Lines are completely painted with color.
- Celtic letters. Celtic writing has its own special style, which is not confused with anything. This feature is that the capital letter at the beginning of the text has a big nobility, some ornaments, and then the text of the usual size in one style.
- Graphic letters or graffiti . This style was formed from street art drawing on the walls. Style is inherent in several colors, two or three no more, the pronounced volume of letters that have a fat contour.
- Chinese characters . East has always attracted those who are not indifferent. And if you consider that in two relatively small hieroglyphs, it is possible to conclude almost all the meaning of several lines, you can understand why this language has become so popular. But due to the fact that the Chinese hieroglyphs are severe not only in translation, but also in writing, there are cases when one or another wand has been depicted incorrectly.
From this, indeed, the whole point may change. It is not necessary to translate hieroglyphs through unverified applications. And it is best to consult with an orientalist.
- Other languages. This category includes such languages as Arabic, English, French, Italian and Russian. Mostly, the emphasis is placed on the phrase that a person wants to fill, but to translate it or not - this is the choice of everyone individually.

The first is, of course, Tattoos size, as well as the length of the alleged inscription. If the tattoo is on the wrist, then you need to reduce the selected inscription in size and see if the contours do not merge. If this nevertheless happened, then you need to choose either another place or another inscription.
The second point is Human pain threshold. Places like neck, fingers, hand, chest and ribs, have a very low pain threshold for almost all people. If the inscription is too big, it will be necessary to consult with a tattoo master about the possibility of applying ointments against pain.
The choice of place depends on many factors.
Whether you want others to see a tattoo, whether the sense of inscriptions sacred for you, and no one should see it. If so, it is better to choose places that are hidden by clothes, for example, it will hide her sleeve. Another important point in choosing a place is that the skin on the place where the tattoo will be clean. There should not be moles or scars, as well as any cracks or skin diseases.
