5 things you need to know before getting your tattoo

Tattoo artist Kleber Martins of the studio Mister Tattoo explains the main points you need to analyze before deciding on your phrase tattoo. Follow the tips to avoid regrets after getting your tattoo.

1. What are the best places to tattoo phrases on the body?

“Flat parts of the body such as back and rib usually have a better aesthetic result, hinged regions can distort the image giving the impression that the tattoo has gone crooked, however, by understanding a little anatomy and working with the right letter template any part of the body can have a phrase tattooed on it.”

2. What types of phrases do women tattoo the most?

“Not just women, but on a general average, the champions are religious phrases (snippets of prayers), snippets of song lyrics, poetry, declarations of love for children, parents, spouses, and grandparents (I’ve never seen it for a mother-in-law).”

3. Is there a phrase that is the most tattooed?

“For sure the phrase “Deliver me from all evil, Amen” (written in several languages) is in the lead followed by “Carpe Diem” and “Focus, Strength and Faith”. These have earned the affectionate nickname “beef”, I never quite understood that expression, but anyway, that’s the voice of the people.”

4. What are the best font types for tattooing phrases?

“I particularly prefer artistic calligraphy which has become popularly known as “chicana font” because it has become so popular among Latin artists. It is not a font model found in computer programs, it requires training and study by the artist.”

“But since not everyone wants something so artistic, for simpler works I recommend fonts that imitate the old writing made with quill pen, the result on the skin always looks good. And for those who want a more direct message, simple straighter fonts that look very readable.”

5. What advice do you give to those who want to tattoo a phrase on their body?

“The first thing to watch out for is the size, very small letters end up becoming illegible over time, if the tattoo artist says it won’t look good, believe me, it won’t. Areas of the body like the feet and ribs are very sensitive, you need to stay completely still, any movement can make the tattoo artist make a mistake.”

“The choice of phrase is a very personal thing, sometimes people come to me to see the “phrase catalog”. I don’t know if that exists, but I at least, don’t have one and never have. People who tattoo phrases on impulse always regret it, in fact this applies to any kind of tattoo, choose a design or phrase that makes sense to you, that has an intimate meaning.”

“And even if it is a “beef” tattoo don’t write something on your body simply for the fact that you want to have a tattoo. Look for references from the tattoo artist and look at their work before you get it tattooed, and lastly, always correct the phrase before you get it tattooed, especially if it is in a language that the tattoo artist is not proficient in. Fixing a writing tattoo is very difficult.”

10 font ideas you can use in your tattoo

The choice of font is very important for your tattoo to look legible and for it to convey an idea that matches the written phrase.

On the site DafontFor example, you can even test some font options by typing in your chosen phrase and visualizing how it would look with that font. Just click on the font and type the text into the “custom preview” field.

Remember to test the font for accents and other special characters, as some do not offer these features. Here are some options you can use:
