Word Tattoos: How to Customize Lettering or Asian Symbols




Word Tattoos - Lettering, Asian Symbols

In the past few years, word tattoos have swept the globe like a tornado. There are many varieties and styles. In all, they fall into two main categories: lettering, Asian symbol. People are excited to express their personality through writing. Lettering or letters designs are based on alphabet. They can be English, German, Latin, Greek, French, Italian, etc. On the other hand, some people prefer tattoos with Asian symbol, e.g. Chinese, Tibetan, Thai, Cambodian, Kanji, Hindi, etc. Let me offer some great tips on how to customize your words tattoo.
Word Tattoos - Lettering, Letters, Asian Symbols
1) Word Tattoo - Color

Lettering tattoo or Asian symbols are done almost exclusively in black ink. Did you notice that? In fact, I think this is a convention that we are accustomed to. Black ink is used for writing, right? Well, I think it is time to change that belief. Whether you are getting a lettering tattoo or Asian symbols, try something unusual or different. It is worth it. Ordinary is boring. Instead of black, the traditional color, you can try:

* Dark color - navy blue, brown, burgundy, grey, etc. Your word tattoos would look classic and elegant
* Bold color - pink, yellow, candy blue, bright purple, grass green, etc. Your Asian symbol or lettering tattoos would have a spunky and unconventional look.

2) Words Tattoo - Length

For your lettering tattoo or Asian symbols, the length is very important. You ought to consider the number of words for your ink designs. Say your ink reads “Death is not to be feared by those who have lived wisely”. You need to think carefully where and how to place it. It is often hard to fit long tattoo words. The only suitable spots may be the chest or back. This is because they have plenty of space. For short tattoo words, say your lettering or Asian symbols tattoo reads, “Fear not death”. There is a lot of flexibility on placement, e.g. the arm, neck, leg, rib cage, and more. It is flexible and easy to place, not to mention its attractiveness too.
