I may be slightly biased.
Do you have a picture of it? I’ve been getting ideas off of Google, but I still don’t know how I feel about text tattoos in general.. That may be me being biased as well but I am opening up.. I have found stronger images to symbolize all of mine so far but I’m having an extremely hard time with this one.
The tattoo would be about 12 lines long, with about 5-8 words in each line, and I am trying not to keep it just text maybe incorporating it in with a design
It really is pretty small, but I’m a smaller person so it looks a little large.
That looks well done, I guess the font of the text will play a huge role as well.. But the thing is this has about 4 times as many words as yours and that is what I am unsure about
I’m totally against long text tattoos. In my opinion text looks best as a few word compliment to an image and not as a stand alone tattoo. To me, long text tattoos are unimaginative and lack artistic creativity and have no aesthetic appearance, and typically the characters need to be small and cramped and will not stand up over time. I really can never understand why someone would get a long paragraph of text such as bible verses, poems, etc. when a creative artist can come up with a much more visually appealing image to represent the words. All my personal opinion, though.
Exactly what I have always thought.. Even about text tattoos in general.. I have never planned on getting one but for a few months I have been trying to find the right pictures with no luck but still looking
Absolutely. My tattooist was pretty candid and said she was uncomfortable going much smaller. And the fine details of the text are beautiful; she really did a great job. I don’t know how big you are, but I’m pear-shaped and a size 2 – My upper body just doesn’t offer a lot of room.
Like Adler said, if you have to cram, you may be better off with an image. Tiny text simply doesn’t hold up too well. 🙁

Size is not an issue at all, I just need to get back to the drawing boards on this one.. I am not the biggest fan of text tattoos, except for those that are well done which yours is
I dunno :rolleyes:
This one is pretty awesome but not strictly just text 🙂
To be honest, although it’s well done I don’t like the one above either. Seems like a waste of space to me.
And Zach, if you are generally against long text tattoos but an image isn’t coming to you yet, I think you should wat and keep thinking about it. Don’t settle for something that you wouldn’t normally get just because you can’t come up with the right image. Maybe move on to something else in the meantime and be patient until you can figure this out better for yourself. But of course it’s your body so do what you feel is right. Take your time though.

I am right there with you, that’s what I’ll be doing then. I am wanting to get it before I ship out to basic which is in a few months so I still have time.. Thanks for the advice
