Many people choose a word from another language with Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic among the most popular. According to Good Characters, these tattoos can be easily skewed and any character should be reviewed by a native speaker to ensure accuracy.
Choose a font for your word tattoo. Font libraries exist online, or your tattoo artist can match an already existing print. Handwriting can be made into a stencil for a personal touch. Calligraphy is a classic choice
Decide if you'll add decoration to your word tattoo. Flowers, scrolls, or lines can enhance the meaning and aeshtetic of an otherwise simple design. Sites like Tattoo Finder and Evil Tattoo provide nearly endless options for you to search through.
Discuss your chosen design with your tattoo artist. Artists can provide advice on to style and location and offer suggestions you may not have considered.
