Do you remember when you first read a quote that truly inspired you? Imagine the feeling every day for the rest of your life. This is what a tattoo quote can potentially give you! Once you found a quote that truly inspires you it can be turned into a tattoo that has real meaning behind it. Sure traditional tattoo designs are great but a quote tattoo that motivates you or just makes you feel better when you need it can really blow them out of the water. Or you could have the best of both worlds, couple a quote with a traditional graphic design and youll have a tattoo everyone can appreciate! Lets go over what makes tattoo quotes special.
One of the best things about quotes is that there are thousands of quotes that span over many topics, like religion, war, anti-war, politics, government, motivating, philosophy, and many more. With so many topics and authors youre sure to find one thatll take your breath away.
Tattoo quotes can be good choices for both women, and men. What Ive noticed is women really love feel good quotes or quotes about love and enjoying life. But men really prefer masculine in nature quotes or quotes from men he looks up to. Of course there are exceptions a man can like feel good quotes and a woman could like a masculine type quote.
An example of a quote that a woman may like is something like Live, Laugh, Love and something a man may like is something like Veni, Vidi, Vici a Latin quote by Julius Caesar it translates into I came, I saw, I conquered but again a man may like the Live, Laugh, Love quote and a woman might like Veni, Vidi, Vici quote!
Somethings To Consider
So what do you have to have in mind while choosing font, size, and location of your tattoo quote? Well some planning is probably necessary to get that quote beautifully done; youll need to find a quote you like enough to get tattooed of course. Preferably a quote that isnt too long considering the limited amount of space you have on your body. Once youve got the quote youre getting tattooed in mind, double or even triple check that the quotes spelling, grammar, and author are correct before taking it to your favorite artist! Nothing is more embarrassing than finding out your tattoo has a misspelling or a major grammar mistake in it after its already been permanently inked into your body, your only options if you unfortunately reach this point is to, live with the tattoo, get it covered up with another one, or to have it expensively removed so please make sure you bring your artist a one hundred percent correct quote.
Font is also a very important decision youll have to make. I know it might be tempting to choose a font thats really cool looking but you have to think about readability before you finalize your decision, the most important thing is that you and other people are able to read the quote without much trouble. Overdo the font and itll be hard to for others to read the quote without having to stare at it for a while and thats not good! Size and spacing of the letters is also important. Having the letters to close to each other may cause the letters to touch if your skin should shrink or enlarge making them look more like a blob of random ink rather than two separate letters.
Size of the letters should correspond with the location you have chosen for the tattoo, make sure it fits and is big enough to read.
Taking Care of Your Newly Done Tattoo
Tattoo aftercare is also very important when you first get your tattoo, it should be treated as an open wound that can get infected if not cleaned properly for at least two weeks. Usually the artist will explain how to clean the area where the tattoo is. Applying tattoo ointment to your tattoo is always a good idea but always follow the instructions your choice of ointment provides.
