Words have the function of translating the world around us and assigning meanings to what we see, feel or think. When written, the word gains even more strength, because somehow it was registered and transformed into something physical and “palpable”.
However, when it comes to written tattoos, it is not enough just to choose what will be immortalized on your skin, it is also necessary to define the font that will be used for this.
Although it seems like a mere detail, the font in which the tattoo will be written is very important to reinforce the meaning of the tattoo and harmonize its visual effect.
Regardless of the typeface chosen, it is important that the font is legible, unless illegibility is intentional.
Check out a selection of 100 fonts with different styles to help you choose the typography that best suits you and your tattoo, as well as pictures of tattoos written to inspire you.
