Tattoos with Texts, words or Phrases
Words have power, and when you have them tattooed on your skin, that power stays with you forever. Whether it's a simple word that resonates with you, a phrase that changed your life, or a name you hold dear to your heart, text tattoos capture deep meanings in their most direct form.
What texts are most commonly tattooed?
Many of our clients in Playa de Palma choose inspirational quotes from books, songs, or admired people to use as a daily reminder or personal mantra. Others prefer the names of loved ones, commemorating significant relationships or paying tribute to them.
Words with personal meaning are extremely popular: terms that represent strength, hope, resilience, or any value that's important to you. We also design tattoos with sayings, proverbs, and mantras in various languages, from Spanish and Catalan to Latin, Sanskrit, and Japanese.
Dates in Roman or Arabic numerals are especially popular for commemorating important moments: births, anniversaries, overcoming obstacles, or the start of new chapters.
Available typography styles
Typography is the most crucial element in any text tattoo. At our studio in Playa de Palma, we work with:
- Elegant cursive calligraphy
- Gothic or antique fonts
- Custom handwritten styles
- Minimalist and modern fonts
- Custom lettering created by our artists
By the way, if you visit our tattoo studio in Playa de Palma (Mallorca) you can take a look at a book we have full of fonts so you can choose the one that suits you best.
Where can I get a text tattooed?
Versatility is the great advantage of text tattoos. We can create designs ranging from the most discreet—a small word on the wrist or behind the ear—to extensive compositions that cover the entire back. Areas with flat skin, such as the forearms, back, or ribs, allow for longer texts. Wrists, fingers, or ankles are ideal for short words or dates.
How long does a text tattoo take?
A word or short phrase (5-10 cm) usually takes between 15 minutes and 1 hour. Longer texts or those with elaborate typography can take more than an hour, depending on the level of detail.
