Lettering tattooing is the technique used to create tattoos with letters, words or sets of words with different spellings.
In this type of tattoo, priority is given to each and every one of the letters, trying to find the maximum beauty in them and carefully studying each one of the strokes.
Types of lettering tattoos
- Tattoos with letters, words or phrases
This is the most traditional type of lettering tattoo, and it is simply made up of letters (usually initials), words or even complete sentences.
It does not include images or any other type of details, so it focuses on the design of each letter, and can use one or several colors. - Tattoos with letters and images
They are generally simple tattoos with a reduced size, capable of adapting to almost any part of the body.
These tattoos represent letters that are generally initials, so that they allow to keep the secrecy of their meaning, but at the same time, they also combine with other drawings, details or complete images. - Tattoos with phrases and images
It would be something very similar to the tattoo with letters but, this time, instead of letters we would use phrases with complete content.
They are clearer tattoos, but they also usually require more space for their realization.
When combining phrases and images, it is very important to give more representativeness to the words than to the details, thus avoiding that they are dissolved or lose relevance.
