These type of theme has been getting more and more popular these days both for male and female tat enthusiasts and demands are greatly increasing according to a lot of tattoo artists.

When going for textual tattoos, there are several concerns involved - the words or phrases to be tattooed as being the primary one. They can either be an inspiring quotation, a verse from the bible, a favorite line from a song or poem or even original compositions. What kind of fonts to go for is the second line of concern when conceptualizing this type of tat theme. The most common ones being used for this purpose are the script lettering and the old English type of font.

The best locations are the body canvas that has ample space to accommodate several lines for the phrases or texts that will be tattooed. These are the shoulder blade, back, rib, and arm. For 3 - 5 words of tattoo lettering, the foot, wrist, back of neck and ankle can be great options.
