Tattoos with translation in English

Girls are more sophisticated creatures than men. And the representatives of the fair sex show their selectivity in choosing a tattoo. Both the lettering and its design are of great importance. As a rule, female drawings are distinguished by openwork curls and smooth transitions. Letters in phrases look very original and beautiful. Young people, on the contrary, prefer more strict fonts and laconic design. But the content of the inscription can be both brutal and philosophical, as well as insanely romantic.

Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru on wohsi - I will show you not your heart, but the desires that are in it (with a mirror reading, this is such an interesting phrase in English)

Do not forget that the size of the tattoo in the form of an inscription should be in harmony with the part of the body on which you apply it. If it's a whole quote, then stop at the back, ribs, or back of the arm. So did the actress Megan Fox, who placed a long inscription in Old English on her left side "There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART" (There was a girl who never loved until her heart not broken by one guy).

If the phrase is small or it is only one or two words, then your imagination is not limited. Small tattoos in the form of inscriptions can be seen on the wrist, foot, back of the head, finger, neck, lower back, etc. Of course, the most popular words and phrases for girls are the words of love, beauty, faith and hope.

Dad - Dad Hope, Love, Family, Believe, Strength, Dreams - Hope, Love, Family, Faith, Strength, Dreams Love without cause - Love without a reason (To love not for something, but in spite of) Trust the Voice Within - Trust the inner voice Faith, Hope, Love - Faith, Hope, Love There is always hope - There is always hope (Hope dies last) We accept the love We think we deserve - We accept the love we think we deserve Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it - Everything has its own beauty, but not everyone is able to see it With pain comes strength - With pain comes strength You don "t know what you live for until you know what you would die for - You won't know what you live for until you know what you're ready to die for Stay tall - literally: Stay tall, or Hold your tail with a gun Fly - Fly And miles to go before I sleep - I'll have to go through this one long haul before I fall asleep (meaning - go to another world) Life goes on - Life goes on Dream as if you "ll live forever - Dream on such a scale as if you lived forever My life is my message - My life is my message Anna only you in my heart - Anna, only you are in my heart

Love lettering tattoos

Love is the best feeling on earth. Each person expresses it differently. Who in words, and someone decides once and for all to capture their emotions on the body.

Philosophical tattoo inscriptions

The fair sex are deeper creatures than it might seem at first glance. Sometimes in a simple girl such emotions, experiences and thoughts can lurk that at first it is difficult to imagine. Creative natures approach this, as a rule, from a philosophical point of view. It is no longer possible to get by with just one word. Although one word, as you know, can contain a powerful inspiring force.
