- Stylistic fonts
- Heavy black lettering
- Added flair
- Applied on flat areas of the body
Lettering tattoos have been popular for decades due to their simplicity and straight forward nature. Unlike symbolic designs, lettering tattoos proudly display the wearer’s intentions without beating around the bush.
Names, quotes and statements have been proudly worn on every part of the body and this is one trend which shows no sign of slowing down. Lettering tattoos usually incorporate artistic fonts, heavy black lettering, solid outlines and some kind of stylistic background to make the foreground stand out.
Like most classic styles, lettering tattoos are evolving as skill and technical knowledge of artists increase. Lettering can also be used in conjunction with other styles such as negative space, graffiti and even stonework.
