Tattoos are a unique form of expression and are thus as unique as the person wearing them. Some people opt for script tattoos because they prefer words to pictures. These tattoos can be further personalized by the lettering or font you choose for yours. Though there are thousands of tattoo fonts you can choose from for your script tattoo, below are the three popular font types.
Cursive fonts
These are adaptations of the cursive handwriting that was used in church writings and official documents. It features elegant, curved, flowing lines. Cursive fonts are the most common options for memorial tattoos, more so those that have a person’s name. The decorative flourishes that grace these fonts add a personal touch befitting your loved one’s memory.
Handwritten fonts
When getting script tattoos, the idea behind them is mostly meaningful. Handwriting preserves the memory of the person you want your tattoo to remind you of. You can ask your loved one to write the phrase or word you want for your tattoo, then have your tattoo artist copy that. You can also use the handwriting preserved in old letters and cards as design guides for your handwritten fonts.
Downloaded fonts
Nowadays, there are tattoo font generators that you can use to design the text for your script tattoo. The fonts in the generators are downloadable, while others are on online apps. You will simply type your phrase or word into the tool, then preview its look with different fonts before printing the one you like best and taking it to a tattoo artist to copy.
Choosing from one of the above fonts for your script tattoos is only the first step. Remember to always check the spelling and grammar of all the words you want in your tattoo. Misspelling words is a costly and, unfortunately, permanent mistake you would not want to endure.
