Make your Hands Shout: Word Tattoos
Jul 30th, 2010 by apartmentblogger
Today we are surrounded by information and we all have something to say. Above all we want our ideas to be heard or read, so many have chosen to inscribe these ideas permanently on their bodies. What better way to get your opinion or your philosophy across than expressing it in a short sentence forever inked on your flesh? Tattoo it and you can demonstrate what you think or how you conduct your life.
These tattoos are phrases that convey thoughts. The phrases are usually special for the people who wear them and are representative of a state of mind, a special time in one’s life or even sometimes the name of a beloved person. As we all know “true love never fades” and get these tattoos to acknowledge the impact certain people have had on them, to remember them and pay tribute in some way. Such tattoos are often placed on the back or on the arms, since a relatively flat area of the body is needed to do lettering correctly and legibly.
The most expressive tattoos are those on the knuckles. They often have an intentionally violent, shocking or brash tone. Many see these tattoos as violent and intimidating, and they look better when the fist is closed, as if the bearer were seconds away from throwing a punch.
Precisely the perspective that allows these tattoos to be seen most clearly is head-on, that’s to say, on the side of the “attacked” rather than that of the attacker, perhaps just as the fist lunges towards you, ready to give you a knuckle sandwich. There are many styles and designs of tattoos for the hands, but some of the most popular hand tattoos feature four letter words, with a word tattooed on each finger.
Some examples which may help you to convey your message:
”Love – Hate”
”That’s life”
“Lost Hope”
”Life time”
“Hold Fast”
Make yourself seen, and heard: If you want to get your point across, why not rent apartments in Paris in September for the next Tattoo Convention?
