Tattoo lettering in English is one of the most popular in the tattoo industry. Only phrases written in notorious Latin can compete with them. However, most tattoo fans prefer the international language, English, which is spoken by most people. This allows you not to worry that the meaning of the tattoo remains known only to its owner, on the contrary, the English language guarantees that many will understand the translation of the phrase.
Most Popular Words
Words for a tattoo in English are chosen by a variety of people. The first place in the leaders is definitely occupied by the word "love", which means "love", so beloved by many girls. Live (life), smile (smile) and many others also appear in the first places in the ratings. But all the words and phrases chosen in tattoo parlors can usually be divided into several understandable and easy-to-classify groups:
- words-feelings or moods, like the same love, joy, pain and others;
- names translated into English, whether it is your own name, nickname or initials of a loved one;
- statements of idols, the closest people in spirit;
- famous sayings and expressions, catchphrases, quotes from favorite works;
- wishes and dreams encoded in words.
A tattoo-inscription, unlike any drawings or patterns, even the most beautiful, necessarily carries some meaning. There simply cannot be a completely meaningless statement on the body, applied only for the sake of a beautiful font, while choosing a drawing only because of its visual component is quite realistic.
That is why the choice of words must be approached as responsibly as possible. The inscriptions in English with translation are very important, they reflect the individuality and character, you should not repeat yourself in choosing such a tattoo, or even more so treat it without due attention.
The most convenient places
A tattoo in English, in most cases, was created to attract attention, it is a kind of way to communicate with the world, an opportunity to tell him the most important thought, often spinning in the language. That is why such inscriptions are usually not customary to hide. They prefer to apply:
- on the wrist, which applies mainly to girls;
- on male hands along the ulna or radius;
- on the outer surface of the feet;
- on the back or neck, the part that can be opened with a T-shirt;
- on the chest or collarbones.
The place may not carry such a sacred meaning as the content itself, but it greatly affects how the tattoo looks on the body, whether it looks organic and suits its owner.
Beautiful inscriptions in English, tattoos with various phrases look completely different: seriously, individually, gently, subtly, depending on the person who chooses his statement, the thought that he will wear on the body. But in absolutely all cases, inscription tattoos look advantageous and suit absolutely everyone.

This ensures that many people around the world can read the phrase and share interest in it along with its native speakers. Latin loses in this regard. Although there is a downside: Latin is more mysterious. Clients who choose to write in a dead language get a tattoo for themselves.
Distinctive features of the tattoo - inscriptions
Tattoo parlors, as a rule, store entire catalogs of photos on which the tattoo is fixed. Based on the images, the client chooses not so much the inscription itself, but rather its location and font.
It is worth dwelling here in more detail. First, a place for a tattoo. It can be so different that it is simply silly to talk about any restrictions. A man is a client or a woman, it all depends on the size of the inscription. One could say that beautiful small inscriptions are more often attributed to female tattoos, but this is not so. Among the representatives of the stronger sex, there are also enough refined natures with an artistic vision of the world.
Often masters are faced with the fact that a person cannot decide what kind of tattoo he needs. In such cases, they offer to make a tattoo - a phrase. They compare favorably with all the others in their versatility and "genderless".
Font for tattoo
Now let's talk about fonts. It is they who create the character of the phrase:
- the style undoubtedly reflects and emphasizes the essence of the phrase;
- the font, as a way of the image, tends to change from fashion to fashion.
To date, any tattoo parlor can offer you several dozen fonts that will help create the desired image and complement the overall impression of the tattoo.
Since English is a foreign language, there may be incidents with translation and spelling literacy. If you decide that you want to become a carrier of the phrase, then take care of the details. Know exactly what to write and how to write it.
Tattoo classification
Usually masters try to explain that all tattoos of this kind are conditionally divided into:
Some fix the inscriptions that carry a positive program, some make “blocks from the negative”, in any case, it is almost impossible to name the exact meaning of the phrase tattoo.
Famous carriers of tattoo inscriptions
Among the celebrities who adorned their bodies with inscriptions in English are: Timothy, Alexei Vorobyov, Victoria Daineko.
