Calligraphy Tattoos
Tattoos are probably the best forms of self expression, for displaying your way of thinking and your personality. If you happen to take a look in your nearby body art stores, you would observe that there are hundreds of different kinds of tattoo designs and patterns. You would see customized tattoos and those which are made exclusively for girls and boys. However, at present, there are special kinds of tattoo designs which are growing in popularity. These are calligraphy tattoos, which are becoming increasingly popular mostly amongst teenagers and youngsters.
The word 'calligraphy' has evolved from two words, the first being 'kallos' which means 'beauty' and 'the second 'graphe' that means 'writing'. This form of writing has been used since several decades, with the first ones being just capital letters. But in today's fashionable world, this art has turned into a way of displaying emotions and direct messages with using tattoos. Nowadays, there are many different types of calligraphy tattoo styles and patterns that have been developed for fashion purposes.
These tattoos can be worn on almost any part of the body. They are mostly made on the back of the neck, arms, forearms, stomach, chest, back, and many other places. These tattoos are just words tattooed on the body. Whichever script you choose to get your tattoos made in, just make sure that you know its meaning. It should not happen that you are wearing a Chinese calligraphy tattoo with you not knowing what it exactly means.
Calligraphy Tattoo Designs
The most prominent script used in making these tattoos is the cursive writing, which is also referred to as grass writing. The designs are considered to be elegant with their graceful slanting and free-flowing patterns. The patterns of the letters are sometimes so intricately woven that the observers may take a while to know what is actually written. Cursive or running calligraphy script is mostly used for English letters.
You also have the option of making calligraphy tattoos with Chinese writing and words. These can later be chosen to be made using other different fonts. Another good style is Arabic. Islamic patterns are getting more popular these days, with scriptures from the Koran. Good tattoo options can even be words in Hindi or Sanskrit. A good Bible verse can be a good choice to show your spiritual side to the people. Similarly, you can use any kind of words or sentences you want in making a personalized tattoo for yourself.
Calligraphy tattoos can be sported individually or with other tattoos as well. This means that you can choose to have a dragon tattoo done, explaining its message in the appropriate script. Coming to the color, these are usually made using the conventional black or green color. However, some tattoo enthusiasts may even opt for wearing tattoo with different colors.
If you want to check which font and pattern of calligraphy tattoos would look good on you, there are some websites on the Internet which allow you to make tattoos and view them in any pattern and font you like. You can even go to your nearest tattoo shop and check out the designs available there.
