Having a tattoo on your body is now considered fashionable. It’s especially great if the body image carries a certain meaning. A tattoo in the form of an inscription can be a great motivator for you and those around you. Text tattoos can be done in a variety of styles, from elegant cursive to minimalist printed. Drawings with words or quotes reveal the essence of a person better than others, reminding them of the trials they had to go through or the happy moments of life. In addition, tattoos in the form of inscriptions are also good because you are unlikely to meet a person with a similar image. You can show your personality through text. By the way, here you have a choice: you can write words both in your native language and in a foreign language. One of the most popular places to apply such a tattoo is the hand.

Tattoos with translation in English
Girls are more sophisticated creatures than men. And representatives of the fair sex also show their selectivity in choosing a tattoo. Both the lettering and its design are of great importance. As a rule, women's drawings are distinguished by openwork curls and smooth transitions. The letters in the phrases look very original and beautiful. Young people, on the contrary, prefer more strict fonts and laconic design. But the content of the inscription can be both brutal and philosophical, and insanely romantic.
Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru on wohsi - I will show you not your heart, but the desires that are in it (when read in a mirror, you get this interesting phrase in English)Do not forget that the size of the lettering tattoo should be in harmony with the part of the body on which you are applying it. If it's a whole quote, stop at the back, ribs, or back of the arm. This is what actress Megan Fox did, who placed a long inscription in Old English on her left side “There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART.” One guy didn't break it).
If the phrase is small or just one or two words, then your imagination is not limited. Small tattoos in the form of inscriptions can be seen on the wrist, foot, back of the head, finger, neck, lower back, etc. Of course, the most popular words and phrases for girls are words of love, beauty, faith and hope.
Dad - Dad Hope, Love, Family, Believe, Strength, Dreams - Hope, Love, Family, Faith, Strength, Dreams Love without cause - Love without a reason (Love not for something, but in spite of) Trust the Voice Within - Trust your inner voice Faith, Hope, Love - Faith, Hope, Love There is always hope - There is always hope (Hope dies last) We accept the love We think we deserve - We accept the love that we think we deserve Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it - Everything has its own beauty, but not everyone is able to see it With pain comes strength - With pain comes strength You don"t know what you live for until you know what you would die for - You won’t know what you live for until you know what you are ready to die for Stay tall - literally: Stay tall, or Hold your tail with a gun Fly - Fly And miles to go before I sleep - I have to go such a long way before I fall asleep (meaning - to go to another world) Life goes on - Life goes on Dream as if you"ll live forever - Dream on such a scale as if you lived forever My life is my message - My life is my message Anna only you in my heart - Anna, only you in my heartLove tattoo lettering
Love is the best feeling on earth. Each person expresses it differently. Some say it in words, while others decide to imprint their emotions on their body once and for all. Wherever you make a love inscription, it will always warm your heart and soul. Even Rihanna, known for her love of machine guns, as evidenced by several of the singer's tattoos, could not do without love. A small inscription "Love" can be seen on the finger of the Barbadian star.

Philosophical tattoo inscriptions
Representatives of the fair sex are deeper creatures than they might seem at first glance. Sometimes a simple girl can harbor such emotions, experiences and thoughts that are difficult to imagine at first. Creative people approach this, as a rule, from a philosophical point of view.

- We are aware that love is not something purely romantic when we say that between two people there is chemistry, that two others are not well together and that someone no longer loves another person.

Conclusion
A distinctive feature of tattoos in the form of an inscription is their special meaning for the owner. It is common to write text in a foreign language with a hidden meaning that can only be understood if you know the correct translation. A tattoo with an inscription is a body decoration and a way of self-expression.
What is the difference between inscriptions for girls and men
Text tattoos are considered universal for both men and women. By changing the endings of some words, you can achieve a change in the meaning of the phrase in accordance with the gender of the person. There are slight differences in the font style that females tend to choose - the letters have a more sophisticated look with ornate curves and shapes.
Men's tattoos are characterized by strict lines and large letter sizes.
Types of fonts
Choosing the right font for a tattoo is as important as choosing the phrase itself.
All the variety of fonts can be divided into types:
- Calligraphic – uniqueness lies in the individual handwriting of each artist, which cannot be repeated. When performing tattoos, various styles are used: from the classic style of the past to modern capital fonts.
- Gothic - performed according to Gothic motifs, it can be simple or complex. Depending on the owner’s wishes, the font can be made more difficult to read or the text can be left easy to read.
- Graffiti style – contains a combination of styles from wall street graffiti.
- Western font - inscriptions in the style of the Wild Old West.
- Stylized for a specific country or nationality.
- Hand written - used to create a personal tattoo.
- Typewriter Style – Reproduces the writing style of vintage typewriters.
How to choose a font depending on the location of the tattoo
To decide on the font, you need to familiarize yourself with the recommendations regarding the placement of the tattoo.
Namely:
- It is important to consider the size of the inscription. Small tattoos are placed on the wrists, fingers, and on the back of the neck. Large ones are on the side and back.
- Do not write long text in very small font. Ink tends to fade over time.
- Quotes are best placed on the back, shoulder blades, ribs and chest.
- For special tattoos, a place is chosen that is hidden from prying eyes. For example, under items of clothing or underwear.
- Care should be taken when applying tattoos to the abdomen or thighs. These parts of the body are subject to rapid changes when you gain weight. There is a risk of getting blurry text.
- An important factor remains pain in certain places on the body. The most painful places are the inner and back of the thighs, face, bikini, armpits, and knees. Tolerable level of pain in the back, arms, calves and front thighs.
Love lettering
Features of such tattoos:
- Inscriptions for tattoos about love with translation can consist of several letters - the initials of a loved one, or entire fragments from the text about feelings and love. The record holder is the word love in all languages of the world.
- Often people in love make tattoos from halves of an inscription, one for each of the couple.
