Whether the quote is meant to remind you of a particular place and time, a person in your life or simply to be strong, a tattoo quote can be a timeless and useful work of art that lives forever on your body.
The length and complexity of the quote can be important in terms of placement. The higher the word count, the more surface area you will need, and the different areas on the back make for a spacious and natural canvas.
Upper thighs and chest are also good places to write out quotes. You can also go artistic and have a long quote wrap around your arm or leg in a sinuous and unique pattern.
The type of lettering is important for tattoo quotes as well. You definitely want people to be able to read and appreciate words that mean a lot to you, so you may be looking for a tattoo font that is easily readable, meaning not too ornate.
If you are feeling especially experimental, you can have tattoo quotes mimic the handwriting of someone you admire, or even your own handwriting! That could be a nice tribute to someone important in your life.
To quote or not to quote? Some people place quotation marks around the words to let everyone know it’s a quotation, but this element isn’t absolutely necessary. You know where the words came from, and placing the original speaker’s name underneath will help too.
Tattooing a quote can be a truly meaningful thing that will let everyone know exactly what’s important to you, and you will also be able to enjoy it forever.
