Although it’s not hard to guess, we’ll make it easy for you. Lettering style is about tattooing words or phrases, taking the classic phrase “grábate esto a fuego” to a new level.
What is Lettering Style?
According to Rudyard Kipling, the British writer, “words are the most powerful drug that humanity has ever invented.” Snoop Dog would undoubtedly support the motion, although perhaps reversing the order of the terms “drug” and “words” (each with their priorities), and we do too.
Types of letters to get tatooed
The world of lettering is as diverse as its followers. It’s not the same to tattoo the word “ephemeral” in fine line and cursive style as the name of your partner in Gothic lettering, obviously.
That’s why you should clarify your ideas and define the subject a bit: do you want people to cross the street when they see you or do you want them to ask you about the profound meaning of the accentuated word you have on your rib? You decide who you want to be find the ideal tattoo artist who will make your dream metamorphosis a reality.
Fill out this form and the rest will be history to tell your offspring.If you feel like we’re getting a little more wet, one of the most requested letterings today is the fine line style.
For lovers of subtlety who don’t want their tattoo to always be on display, it’s the perfect option to capture important moments and personal references that only they will understand (unless they use their deep vein to flirt, we know all the tricks).
If at some point you lose your mind and decide to tattoo your boyfriend’s name, we recommend doing it this way, so if there’s drama it’s easy to cover up with a cover.
There are incredible artists who have a signature calligraphy that they apply to their lettering designs, so if you feel like carrying a unique piece on your skin, we’ve already given you a clue on how to do it.
Another endearing idea is to use your grandmother’s handwriting, the one that told you to brand her warnings into your skin.
We assure you that if you do, the probability of her preparing croquettes for you every week will increase exponentially.
Which styles does a lettering tattoo go with?
Honestly, we don’t know very well how to answer this, no matter how experienced we are. The answer is any. All. None. You decide!
There are thousands of fonts to choose from, so it depends on its visual effect whether it will fit better with one style or another. Cursive calligraphy works well with microrealism and fine line, Gothic looks great with a good blackwork piece… the possibilities are endless, which is why it’s such a versatile style.
Both the classic literature teacher and her rebellious student who only listens to battle rap music can go together to the studio to get a lettering.
Let each one choose their favorite font because we’re already scouring our database to fix you up with an informative consultation after school.
Consderations when getting a lettering tattoo
Tattoo Gun Machine tip: Even if you like a type of lettering you’ve seen somewhere, do a little more research on our website to discover some hidden gems that you won’t see on so many skins.
Also, be careful with Asian characters: if you’re not familiar with the language, it’s important that the translation source is reliable. Don’t end up like Ariana Grande, who wanted to tattoo “7 rings” in Japanese to honor her hit and ended up with a kanji that read “Japanese barbecue” on the palm of her hand. Ouch, that hurts.
And just in case, before getting tattooed with a specific font, it’s better to check the whole alphabet of that style. It may be that you’ve seen an example with a word and you love it, but when you change the letters, the finishes don’t quite fit and the result isn’t what you deserve.
Better to prevent than to cure.

- Hello everyone! My name is Jade Blunt, and I'm a passionate tattoo enthusiast. Let me share a bit about my life and my journey in the world of ink and skin.
Ever since I was a child, I've been drawn to art and creativity in all its forms. However, it was when I turned 18 that I discovered my true passion: tattoos. I remember my first tattoo, a small design on my wrist that marked the beginning of an adventure that would change my life forever.
As my love for tattoos grew, so did my desire to learn more about this fascinating art. I started researching, talking to talented tattoo artists, and immersing myself in the history and culture of tattoos. Every tattoo tells a story, and I wanted to be a part of that narrative.
Over time, I decided to share my passion with the world through my blog, "Tattoo Gun Machine." In this space, I strive to provide valuable information about tattoos, from tips for tattooed skin care to stories of innovative tattoo artists and inspiring designs. My goal is to educate and inspire those who share my love for tattoos, as well as to demystify some of the stigmas surrounding this art form.
My blog has become a corner of the web where the tattoo-loving community can connect, share ideas, and explore new trends. I've also had the privilege of interviewing some of the most talented tattoo artists in the world, who share their unique experiences and knowledge within my pages.
But my journey in the world of tattoos doesn't stop here. I'm always on the lookout for new inspiration and challenges. I dream of one day opening my own tattoo studio, where I can bring my own designs to life and continue contributing to this form of artistic expression.
So, if you share my passion for tattoos or are simply interested in learning more about this exciting world, I invite you to join me on my journey at "Tattoo Gun Machine." Together, we can explore the art, culture, and beauty of tattoos as we continue to ink our stories onto the canvas of life. I'll see you on my blog!
