English inscriptions with translation / Home Elite Tattoo Salon

It is hard to remember a more controversial art than tattoo-art. Despite the ancient tradition to decorate the body with drawings and inscriptions, is still a lot of opponents of tattoos. But fans they have no less! And as the culture develops tattoos are changing, becoming more complicated, there are new styles and genres. And English inscriptions for tattoos occupy one of the first places in the ranking of popularity.

Of course, graphic tattoos are not inferior to text ones (the so-called "lettering tattoo" style) neither in symbolism, nor in prevalence. But note that most often the owner of the tattoo drawings on the body will find at least one text fragment. And, most likely, it will be a tattoo in English. All this is for a reason. Why are English tattoos so popular? What kind of inscription to choose for your first tattoo? What does the English tattoo inscription mean? Let's talk about everything in this article.

The popularity of English inscriptions for tattoos

Why exactly English tattoo inscriptions are so popular? Why not in Latin, which by default is associated with sacred wisdom? Why not in the native language of each individual tattoo parlor client? Actually, text tattoos do in all languages: Russian, French, German, Italian... And the Chinese and Japanese characters in general take a separate place among styles of tattoo. And yet English is ahead of them. There are several reasons for this, and all of them are very simple:

The most common language. English is a language of international communication, which is understood literally in every corner of the world. Therefore, purely statistically, it seems that it is everywhere you meet English inscriptions for tattoos.
Concise phrases. Linguists and sociologists have long noticed that each language has its own specifics. German is perfect for instructions, Ukrainian and Italian - for poetry. Is English for tattoos? Not really. It's just that many phrases in English are indeed more concise, capacious and euphonious than in other languages.
Aesthetic appearance. Inscriptions in English for tattoos are written in the Latin alphabet, the font of which is beautiful in print and in capital form. With other alphabets is more difficult: for example, for the Cyrillic just there is no such a large number of stylish fonts, so to do beautiful tattoos in English is much easier.

Finally, thanks to the ubiquity of the English language, English lettering for tattoos minimizes the need to constantly answer the question, "What does your tattoo mean!" to others. Maybe it's not the main reason, but agree, it's nice.

Tattoos that bring good luck

Since ancient times, people knew that the Higher forces can influence the life and destiny of a person. Then people put amulets on the body in the form of images of animals and plants. Today many symbols and signs can be transferred with the help of tattoos. What kind of drawings bring good luck? Let's analyze below.

Hieroglyph

Tattoo with the image of hieroglyphs is one of the most popular in the world. Unusual and beautiful oriental symbols are printed both individually and in whole sentences. Each character has its own meaning. Such inscriptions attract not only the attention of others, but also good luck. Characters are also used as amulets and protect us from all kinds of troubles. They are drawn in black, with an addition of yellow or gold colors. Stuffed on the neck, wrists, or shoulder area.

Clover

The plant has long been a sign of good luck and good fortune. The ancient Greeks depicted clover on the robes of the gods. It is believed that each of the four leaves in clover has its own meaning and symbolizes: hope, faith, love and good luck. Many people choose this plant as a talisman to attract good luck. Performed drawing in warm and calm shades of green: suit the shade of apple, bright lime and forest green. Stuffed on the ankles or in the forearm area.

Beautiful English words for tattoos

There is another stereotype: they say that text tattoos are designed exclusively for girls. But this is not so! It can be assumed that this opinion was formed due to such a feature of tattoo-inscriptions as literalness. Judge for yourself: an image, especially a symbolic one, can be interpreted differently. Some images are very ambiguous, so men adorn themselves with drawings of skulls, clocks, demons, birds and arrows.

And the inscription is the direct meaning, even if the phrase is poetic and/or veiled. And who likes pretty words? Girls, of course. And some words they like especially much. Here are these English words for tattoos with translation:

Love.
Hope - hope
Free - free
Strong
Confidence - confident
Serendipity - intuition, premonition
Angel - angel
Demon
Mother
God.
As a one-word tattoo is often used names (his own, a child, a loved one, etc.), the names of cities, native countries.

Original phrases for tattoos
The popularity of text tattoos has one drawback: it is difficult to come up with such a phrase in English for a tattoo, which no one else has. It comes to the fact that the most rspread quotes and sayings can be seen on the body of several of your acquaintances at once. To avoid such an embarrassment, it is necessary to do tattoos thoughtfully. Beauty is beauty, but fashion passes, and the chosen inscription will stay with you for a very long time (for life, if you do not resort to the procedure of tattoo removal).

We have tried to collect the most beautiful and deepest thoughts that you can use as English inscriptions for tattoos. Try to choose one that will touch your heart personally:

The main thing is that it likes you and reflects your individual view of the world. Then even in that case if you will meet the "brother" or "sister" on a tattoo, you will not be disappointed, because your sense is always with you.

Tattoos to attract love

Choosing a fashionable tattoo to attract love, you should pay attention to images with flowers. It is believed that drawings of flowers not only decorate the body, but also attract new feelings in life, as well as refresh relationships.

Rosebuds

Roses have long been a symbol of love. Roses have a very pure and deep meaning: they mean youth, sincerity and rebirth. Such a drawing is good to depict on the upper thighs or lower back. Perform the image in bright colors, excellent red or burgundy shades. With the help of roses can revive hidden feelings, as well as attract a new, sincere love in life.

Butterfly

Its elegance, bright colors and airiness of the butterfly attracts a worthy man in our lives. The task of the tattoo: to attract and retain the feeling, preserving love forever. Draw a butterfly should be done in soft colors, blue or pink is an excellent idea. Apply the image to the abdomen or lower back.

How to choose English inscriptions for tattoos?

Another good way to choose your own English text tattoo is through books and movies in the original, which we've written about more than once in articles. For example, you can use captions from your favorite English movies, quotes from books, character statements... English movies with subtitles, audio books, blogs, and other resources for learning English can help. But be careful not to make mistakes in translation or spelling. Here's a quick "safety tip" about English tattoo phrases:

If you want to translate a phrase for a tattoo from Russian to English, do not use automatic computer translators. Better find the appropriate fragment in a book or ask a professional English translator (or a good English teacher).
Avoid too long captions. That's what literary quotes can be (here's even an article about them). On the one hand, a statement from your favorite writer or idol can be very inspiring. But imagine how cumbersome the bulky text would look on this or that body part.
To select a font for your tattoo, use free font sites - there are many on the web. Save the font file or the finished phrase in a graphic format to give to the tattoo artist for work.

In short, we found out why everyone likes English lettering for tattoos so much. The main thing is not to forget about individuality and your own ideas - then a tattoo in English will become not just a decoration, but an inspiring reminder for every day.

How to choose a font depending on the place of the tattoo?

The font for the tattoo inscription should be selected not only taking into account the individual preferences of the girl, but also based on the location of the image, as well as the overall design of the sketch. Large printed fonts are recommended if the tattoo is planned to be placed on large areas of the body.

Volumetric letters will be most appropriate here, as with their help it will be possible to fill in a large part of the skin on the selected for the tattoo area. Small and neat fonts are most appropriate for tattoo writings on the wrists, forearms or feet. Large letters here will look rough and inorganic, throwing in the eyes of others (especially true for fragile slender girls).
