Want to make a text tattoo rather than a picture or drawing but you don't know which one to choose? Here are some ideas that can help you choose what to write on your back, on your arms or why not write at the base of your shoulders.


How long will my tattoo text last?


Depending on whether you want a long or short scripted text, you can choose from different languages. Indeed, languages ​​with womens skull clothing pictograms are shorter, since a symbol itself would represent a word. Obviously don't forget that a tattoo stays with you for a lifetime, it's worth asking a bit around the meaning or reason for getting it.


However, in the end it will be more like a picture or a drawing than a written word as we understand it in French or English. And in this case, it doesn't matter whether initials or proper names are of French or European origin, they do not exist in hieroglyphs - these letters will try to approximate the meaning of the first name and its results can be quite abrupt. far from your expectations.


You should also check if the translation is of good quality, which is not necessarily easy given the huge amount of massive nonsense we find on various websites (by the way, if you want to tell us, send a Tibetan translation you find on the Internet to check, we will do it for free on our Facebook page).




In lettering scripts, the writing style will determine the length of the final tattoo. For example, a single word in Tibetan would be enough to make a nice, slightly wide tattoo in Mongolian script, while cursive would allow for fairly short calligraphy.


Who will know how to read your tattoo in letters


It all depends on the language in which your text will be translated! If you decide to keep the French language, probably everyone. On the other hand, if you choose a foreign language for your tattoo, chances are it will be more confusing unless you go to the country of the language in question.


You'll easily find a translation into Chinese or Arabic, but you'll have to be careful not to pick the first free tattoo design you find on the internet, risking a mistranslation or even exposure. Total crime is huge.


For translations into foreign languages ​​that are a bit far-fetched but still very common, such as Chinese and Arabic, you also run the risk that your tattoo will end up being very easily understood by many people.


One of the qualities our clients appreciate about Skull hoodies Tibetan tattoos is that it remains completely secret and the risk of someone reading it is close to zero (well, unless you're going to put it under your nose). His Holiness the Dalai Lama, eh!).


Which text to choose for a tattoo for a lifetime?


The lettering tattoo you're about to ink could be from an inscription that you've memorized for a very long time or that you've fallen in love with recently. In this case, it's very simple, just ask for a Tibetan translation and choose the style of calligraphy you like.

If you don't have a particular text in mind, you can consult our recommendations by topic to find a phrase and similarly, choose a style. In either case, we'll draw your tattoo and email it to you so you just have to take it to the tattooist.
