Literary Written and Word Tattoos - Of course word tattoos have been around forever and a day. However, one of the more recent and popular developments in written and word tattoos is they are now taking center stage. It used to be the words were used to embellish the overall graphic tattoo. These days the word or saying and font is now the central part of the tattoo and there often is not even a graphic element.

Another option is to do go with a scene it could be a group of angels of fairies in the forest. Stars are another very popular option although not often done as a sole back piece but they can tie into other elements of the design very well.
