Text tattoos in last years gaining more and more popularity, becoming more of a fashion trend. What is such a tattoo? It contains a phrase from a popular song, a quote or a statement from a famous person, usually in handwritten type.
If you decide to make a temporary or permanent tattoo, then think about whether it is worth choosing this particular type of body jewelry. In addition, no one forbade combining a picture and text in tatoo - there is no limit to fantasy !!! This combination is even more interesting and unusual!
And some individuals, making a tattoo in the form of an inscription or text, imprint on their body a memorable date or just the name of a loved one and dear to the heart of a person, so that he is at least so closer to the soul! With names in a tattoo, in general, you can make various interesting variations: for example, a name and a heart. Or a name and a flower!

Among the most common are phrases for tattoos, representing popular sayings (even proverbs are found) and sayings of wise or famous people. I think it is clear that only a relatively short saying is suitable for such a tattoo. But here, as they say, brevity is the sister of talent! In addition, you are your own director, and what prevents you from stuffing your own slogan or motto for life on your arm or leg, which will fully reflect your individuality and exceptional feature that stands out in the crowd!

Alternatively, you can also prick a phrase for a tattoo in Latin, English, French, Spanish, German, Arabic, and even Chinese or Japanese. In the latter case, be careful that it doesn’t turn out like in the joke “Sausage, helicopter, hippo”.

Choosing fonts for a tattoo. How to choose the right font for a tattoo.

Choosing a beautiful, and most importantly, a suitable font for a text tattoo is a separate and sometimes difficult task. There are tens and even hundreds of thousands of different fonts on the Internet for every taste. And here everyone is trying to pick up something of their own. Many people pay attention only to beauty and curlicues, despite the readability of the text, but in this form of a tattoo, the content of the text plays a major role. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the most optimal option, both in terms of aesthetics and in terms of lettering. From myself, I can recommend the following:

Cyrillic ribbon Pepita MT Carolina Segoe Script Present Script Script Calligraphy Alexandra Zefirno One Passion Conflict ROB Park Avenue Acquest Script Gothikka Dear Joe

But in any case, your choice must be agreed with the master - perhaps he will tell you even more interesting options that you didn't even think about.

Latin is one of the few languages ​​that has survived from antiquity. Today it is official in the Vatican and accepted by the Catholic Church, but is considered dead, as it is not used in colloquial speech. The greatest minds of mankind spoke this language, so many aphorisms in Latin have survived to our time, which are in demand and respect. In Russia, it is used in rare cases, for example, in the designation of medical terms.

People who want to get a tattoo comprehend its meaning so that the image does not get tired over the years. Latin inscriptions perfect option to hide the meaning of the tattoo from others.


"Fly on your wings"
"She walks with faith"
Seize the moment, live in the present

What to do? Choose an inscription from a variety of existing ones or come up with your own? What handwriting to use to make the tattoo look beautiful? What part of the body to apply? All questions have answers.

Ideas for tattoo inscriptions

The expression can motivate, remind you of significant moments, life goals and priorities, but should not get bored. By piercing the body, you reveal to the world a part of your soul and moral values.

  • Amat victoria curam - "Victory loves care."
  • O fallacem hominum spem! “How deceptive is human hope!”
  • Abo in pace - "Go in peace."
  • Cantus cycneus - "Swan song".

  • Vita sine libertate, nihil - "Life without freedom is nothing."
  • Liberum arbitrium indifferentiae - "Absolute freedom of choice."
  • In arte libertas - "Freedom in art."



"A friend is the second "I""

Summing up, it is safe to say that each person is individual and can find a Latin winged expression to his liking. Like tattoos, they look harmonious and filled with meaning.

Advice! Before getting a tattoo, answer the questions: what life values ​​do you have, aspirations, what situation do you want to capture in what language and body parts. After talking with yourself, it becomes clear whether a tattoo is needed or whether it is dictated by fashion trends.

How to choose a font?


"I'll bend, but I won't break"
"God feeds the ravens"

Tattoo artists offer 2-3 times more Latin fonts than Russian ones, because they are more popular. Chooses tattooed: ancient or modern font, print or script, pretentiousness and roundness or severity and angularity, gothic, medieval and other fonts conquer with variety.

Modern tattoo parlors on websites offer to choose a font for a tattoo in Latin online. To use the service, you need to enter an inscription in Latin in a special field. After that, a palette of fonts will appear that you can try on the saying.

If you decide to fill the tattoo in the salon, on the website of which you select the font, you can immediately send the completed form to the master. If there is another salon in the city, just print the image for clarity.




Advice! Spend no less time choosing a font than the inscriptions. For outsiders, the form is more important than the content, so the tattoo needs to look stylish and harmonious.

Where is the best place to get a tattoo

When the inscription for the tattoo is chosen, a fair question arises: where will it look best? Hide or not? How to arrange long text so that it is beautiful?


"We hope in God"
"I wish you success"
"Great things start small"

In the case of a tattoo, you always need to choose a part of the body on which the inscription will look harmonious. It also depends on the pain threshold of a person and the ability to tolerate the effects of a tattoo machine.

  • Hands are the most popular for tattooing. Shoulder, palm, hand, fingers - where to fill the inscription? Masters do not recommend placing a large inscription on these parts of the body. If the Latin aphorism can be read even in the photo, it is better to abandon the idea, as the employer may be confused by the fact of having a tattoo.
  • Tattoos on the wrists are not worn well, so it is better to refuse the idea.
  • The back becomes a real tattoo board. Among the advantages, tattooed distinguish weak pain and a simple option to hide the inscription. The zone is suitable for tattooing long and large phrases.
  • The belly as a place for a tattoo is not the best solution. During pregnancy or when gaining weight, the inscription may be distorted. The rule also applies to the femoral zone.


"Waiting for a Protector"
  • The leg is also open to the creativity of the tattoo artist. On the top of the foot, the image does not look vulgar, it can be easily hidden from others. On the lower leg, pain is intensified, as there are many nerve endings.
  • It is also important to consider that tattoos do not stick on the surface of the foot that is in contact with the floor and on the palms.
  • Very painful parts of the body - chest and chest (for girls), sacrum (for guys), shoulder blades, elbows, armpits and perineum.

"And I'm in Arcadia"
"From sea to sea"
"Through the thorns to the stars"

Advice! Choose a master by portfolio. He may be a drawing genius, but not able to work with fonts. Look for someone who does amazing work as the tattoo will last a lifetime.

Star tattoo inscriptions

Music and film stars follow fashion trends and also decorate their bodies with meaningful Latin inscriptions. Thus, they attract the attention of the public, deciphering the meaning of sayings, and also emphasize their own individuality.

Ksenia Borodina, after the birth of her first daughter, pinned her name on her hand. The idea was spied on by Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, who did not make a single unconscious tattoo. Even their location on the body is symbolic.


Lera Kudryavtseva has an inscription on her back, which means “Both in body and soul”, and on her wrist - “The main thing in life is love.”

The advantage of tattoo inscriptions is that they are endowed with meaning. They look stylish, original and beautiful if you choose the right font. As a minus, one can single out the illiteracy of the tattoo master, who can make a mistake in writing the Latin letter.


Look stylish, original and beautiful if you choose the right font
« I will always be the keeper"

Advice! T carefully check the spelling of each letter. The master may make a mistake, and the meaning of the inscription will be spoiled.

What do the tattooed think?

The decisive factor in applying the first tattoo is the feedback from the owners of Latin inscriptions on the body.

Alina, 25 years old: I have the inscription Gaudeamus igitur, juvenes dum sumus on my lower leg. Translated, it means "Let's have fun while we're young." Many who know the meaning of the words ask what will happen when I grow old. I will remember my reckless youth and be proud of myself. Although, I think, even at 70 I will feel like 20. For three years I have not got tired of the tattoo.

Elvira, 32 years old: At the age of 22, I was hit by a car, and I was on the verge of death. Long-term rehabilitation, the love of relatives and the desire to live put me on my feet. Since then, I have had the inscription Memento mori on my shoulder. When it's hard for me, the tattoo reminds me of the value of life and gives me the strength to pull myself together. Literal translation: "Remember death."





The tattoo on the back of the thigh will be visible only in the summer

Margarita, 28 years old: I always thought that I was lucky in life. Therefore, under my chest I have a small inscription Audaces fortuna juvat, which is significant for me - luck accompanies the brave. Never regretted getting a tattoo. Rather than stuffing a drawing on the floor of the body, it is better to choose a short but accurate saying that characterizes a person.

Alexandra, 30 years old: I have been tattooing for about five years. Lately, Latin inscriptions have been in great demand, and I understand why. Their meaning is important to the owner. It becomes a real talisman for a person.

Summarizing what has been said, we can conclude that people put inscriptions on the body that tell about the character of a person.

Advice! If you want to emphasize individuality and intelligence, choose Latin inscriptions from a variety of tattoos.

Latin is considered an ancient language, but this does not prevent it from possessing the charm that is inherent in many other languages. Only a few today speak Latin, so there is charm and mystery in it, which can serve as a thread that connects a person with his tattoo. It is possible to trace the origin of some famous phrases, inscriptions and philosophical quotes. Many celebrities "immortalized" their thoughts in Latin in the form of inscriptions on their bodies. Here is a list of ideas that you might need if you are planning to make your own tattoo with inscription.

Latin phrases

o Latin phrases usually consist of several words and have a specific theme: for example, family, law, friendship. Latin phrases can be both general statements and have a special case. Among the well-known phrases in Latin are the following: "castigat ridendo mores"; (Joking to punish the funny), "aut viam inveniam aut faciam" (Either find a way, or pave it yourself) and "non omnis moriar"; (no, all of me will not die). See the most popular statements below.

Philosophical sayings in Latin

o Philosophical thoughts in Latin, unlike phrases, are usually better known. Many have been spoken by famous scientists or expressed by famous thinkers. It is quite possible to say that the most famous philosophical saying was Descartes's saying: "cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am), which addresses the question of the existence of mankind and the question of being. Other well-known philosophical sayings in Latin include "errare humanum est" (to err is human), "facta non verba" (not in word but in deed) and "nosce te ipsum" (know thyself).

Modern Latin phrases

o Today, modern well-known quotes and phrases are translated into Latin. For example, the immortal saying of Martin Luther King, "I have a dream," was translated into Latin as: "Habeo Somnium." And here is the famous exclamation from the movie “A Christmas carol” “Idiotic traditions!” ( Usually about Christmas. Explained in BBC video tutorials.) “Bah! Humbug" was translated as: "Phy! Fabulae" and "Catch Me, Scotty" ( from the television series Star Trek) as: "me transmitte sursum caledoni"

Tattoo translation into Latin

o The Internet is a huge space where you can get translation virtually any statement or inscriptions from Russian to another language of your choice. Latin is no exception. Using free/paid translation services, you can get a phrase in Latin for your tattoo. For example, you liked the phrase: “God is love”, type the phrase in a search engine and look for matches in Latin, it’s better, of course, to know some other language: the chances of finding what you need increase. For example, in English this phrase would look like this: "God is love", which in Latin: "Deus est diligo".

Tattoo translation in professional fields

o People of a certain profession - military or medical - also gravitate towards tattoos in the form of an inscription in Latin. As military phrases, many use sayings like: "pro patria" (for the Motherland), "semper paratus" (always ready), and "haec protegimus" (under our protection) are all popular slogans. People associated with medicine commonly use phrases like: "dei gratia" (by the grace of God), "bonadiagnosis, bona curatio" (A good diagnosis is a good cure), or "non sibi sed omnibus" ("not to yourself, but to others") .
