Tattoo Font

Tattoo fonts are good for your text tattoos. Nowadays, text tattoos becomes more and more trendy these days since more and more people choose words, names, short quotes and meaningful sayings to express themselves through their tattoos.

If you have already decided what to tattoo on your body, the next important thing to consider is what kind of lettering you would like to apply on your tattoo. Nobody would like that their tattoo looks boring and unattractive. So you should do some research and choose your tattoo font or a tattoo lettering style that will give more color and personality to your tattoo.The most popular tattoo fonts are script fonts. Script fonts usually look personal and unique, something like calligraphy and handwriting. Old English fonts are also used a lot in tattoo designs, since they have a distinguished look and evoke some medieval meanings. Other popular fonts used in tattoos include: Celtic fonts, graffiti fonts, blade fonts etc.

No matter what fonts you want, luckily, there are always a lot of resources for you to download free fonts for your tattoo designs. Sometimes you may have a look at those commercial fonts even if you are not going to buy it. One tattoo themed font we like is Tattoo Girl designed by Otto Maurer as shown in the image above.

If you do not like any font, you can always ask the experienced tattoo artist to do freestyle for you, which is a personal design by tattoo artists.

Allergic To Tattoo Ink

Allergic reactions to tattoo pigments are fairly uncommon except for certain brands of red and green (with which some many people have a slight problem with itching, swelling, redness of the skin, oozing). People who are sensitive or allergic to certain metals may react to pigments in the skin by becoming swollen and/or itchy, oozing of clear sebum is also common. People with allergies should think carefully about getting a tattoo because of the risk of anaphylactic shock (hypersensitive reaction), which can be life threatening. Some tattoo artists give small tests, by marking a small amount of ink behind the ear to determine if that person has an allergic reaction.
