There are a bunch of different names or ways to call these tattoos but one thing is for sure the trends for lettering tattoos are hot. More and more people are getting tattoos of words. In the old days of tattoo designs the words were a simple embellishment of the design. For example the classic heart tattoo design with a banner that says mom. The heart is the main feature of the tattoo and the visual part that people see and recognize first.
The script and written part that says mom is what is noticed second. For the longest time in the history of tattoo designs words, sayings and writing were an integral part of the overall tattoo design but often it was related to a backseat and done after the main part of the design was though out. Well, that is not so these days.
Tattoo trends are always changing and people are always looking for new ideas and new ways to stand out as an individual and be different from what has been done before. One of the core parts of body art is to do something unique and different and express yourself. People today are finding that one of the best ways to express yourself instead of through a visual symbol is through a written letter tattoo design. Thus they have grown popular. Below you will find some of the most popular forms of literary or word tattoo designs.
