Cursive Tattoos - Traditional and Modern

Tattoos have long since not only been worn for decorative purposes but also for sentimental and memorial purposes. In certain cultures, people tattoo the names of loved ones who have passed away on their skin in elaborate cursive or calligraphic styles. This is also sometimes done by couples who are in love and have each other`s names tattooed on their skin as a gesture of love and devotion. It is advisable though to only do this with someone you are very serious with because it is a lot easier to end a relationship than it is to remove a cursive tattoos or any other.

For some of us cursive tattoos bear religious significance as well. Aside from the obvious symbolism of religious emblems many people have scriptures from texts of holy books such as the Bible or the Quran tattooed on their bodies. These texts are often of great importance to the wearer and bears strong significance in their lives. Although the majority of the Islamic religion views tattoos as forbidden there are some parts of Islamic culture that allow it. Because drawing and sketching is prohibited in Islam, cursive tattoos and calligraphic tattoos are the norm for Muslims and many choose to get elaborate calligraphic tattoos conveying their chosen message. The Arabic script lends itself to beautiful and intricate designs that have become popular beyond the confines of Islam.

Many religions forbid tattoos on the grounds that it modifies the creation of God or can inflict intentional harm on a person. As such, henna tattoos have become very popular among individuals and groups that do not wish to have permanent tattoos done. The henna is temporary and is safe to use on skin. Many religious groups use henna in wedding celebrations and ceremonies, especially in the traditional Hindu and Muslim cultures. However, only properly inked cursive tattoos can provide a variety of colors to make a design truly unique.

Cursive tattoos have become very popular in modern pop and hip-hop culture. Often personal messages or favorite quotations are used for the tattoo which is then done in an elaborate or decorative font. Many hip-hop and rap stars and artists are known to have text tattoos. Some in the form of their favorite sayings and others have their own initials inked onto their skin. It has become somewhat of a fashion accessory in these subcultures. Tattoos identify and speak about that person`s life and who they are and what represents them. Often bolder and stronger lettering is preferable because it stands out better. Many tattoo artists also do smaller, more intimate lettering for more personal phrases and sayings that do not require making a big statement.

It`s important to think very carefully before getting a phrase tattooed. It should be something that is personal and suits one`s personality. It`s also advisable to use a reliable artist who can spell properly and is accurate. This is especially so if the wording is unusual or in a foreign script like Persian, Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic, Sanskrit, Celtic and many others.
