The most popular tattoo fonts
- Cursive: the classic for names, dates and short quotes. Soft and personal, especially on the forearm, collarbone and wrist.
- Old English and Fraktur: bold and striking. Popular for single words like Family, Loyalty or a last name.
- Fine line: thin, minimal lines. The light cursive and italic variants work best as a template here.
- Typewriter: monospace lettering for quotes and song lyrics, a favorite for minimalist tattoos.
- Numbers and dates: birth dates in cursive or Roman numerals, see also the numbers page.
