Super Hot Or Super Cool Word Tattoo Designs For Women And Men
8:35 am
One of the quickest and most popular trends brewing right now are word or literary tattoo designs. Be it one word to a whole poem word tattoos are hot. In order for people to yet again differentiate themselves from others many people are choosing to have the tattoo word written in a foreign language. For a long time Kanji tattoo were very popular. To get a saying writing in Japanese Kanji was super cool. These trend is kind of dying out these days and now people are getting designs in Italian, Sanskrit and even Arabic. One has to admit there is a certain beauty and mystery in a foreign script. Just think of the moment when Frodo holds up the One Ring in the movie “The Lord Of The Rings” after the ring has been in the fire. Frodo holds up the ring and looks at the beautiful glowing elvish script inscribed into the ring. One can not deny the mystery and beauty of the foreign elvish script. Thus is the same beauty and mystery that leads people to get word tattoos in a different language.
What To Watch Out For – If you are thinking about getting a word tattoo and especially if you are considering getting one in a foreign language you should proceed carefully. If you have done any searching on Kanji Tattoos on line you have probably come across sites where people have posted pictures of their kanji tattoo design and they are asking what it means. Often it does not mean anything like what they thought. The Kanji is sometimes backwards, or missing strokes in the best cases and in the worst it says something totally different then what the person thought. Don’t fall into this trap and go around sporting a tattoo that says something that you don’t want it to. Just proceed with caution and spend some time doing your research for the tattoo design carefully. Do not just trust that the tattoo artist tells you what it says. Remember tattoo artists are also business people and they make money by doing tattoo designs. If you are willing to pay they are willing to tattoo. It is not their concern so much about what the script says.
This Is The Only Way To Do It – You might be a little concerned after reading the paragraph above and you probably want to make sure you don;’t get the wrong kanji or the wrong word in a foreign language. The one and only true way to do this is to seek out either a tattoo artists that specializes in the type of design you are after or even better a native speaker of the language. With the power of the internet you can often get this done for free or a very nominal fee. After all 10 dollars to have someone in a forum that is a native speaker check the artwork and verify that it says exactly what you think is probably well worth it in the end. Remember you will be wearing this design on your skin for the rest of your life.
Another thing that can really help in getting an accurate translation is realize that things do not translate in an exact manner. Try to stay away from slang terms as they do not carry over to other cultures and it iwll be hard to understand or translate. For example if you want to get “The Pimp” in kanji you are going to have a very difficult time finding such a tattoo. You might find a kanji that has something to do with selling women for sex but it will not have the same connotation that you might be after. So stay away from slang and realize that a direct translation often is not possible. You want to shoot for the meaning behind the word you are looking for and use that.
Find Your Ideal Tattoo Artist – Realize that doing tattoos is an artistic profession for many tattoo artists. They love their work and are proud of their accomplishments and designs. Also as with anything artist each artist has his or her own unique style. You are paying for your design but they will be doing the design and trying to take your ideas and put them into ink. They can not help but put some of their own ideas and skills into the final design. So you want to ideally find a tattoo artist that you love their artwork and their designs. Do you like black and gray scale tattoos without color? Or maybe you like full color very detailed and intricate designs? Well whatever your taste is their is a tattoo artist out there that specializes in those type of designs you just need to take your time and find him or her.
