Harmony of tattoo inscriptions

Tattoos in English look very impressive if they are done correctly and tastefully.

1. First, based on whether you have chosen a long or short inscription, find a suitable location. If the inscription is quite long, respectively, stop your choice on the back or on the ribs. If the phrase consists of two or three words, the decision where to place it on your body is up to your imagination.
2. Secondly, do not forget about the font. It is absolutely redundant to choose a font whose design stands out for having swirls or hearts, if this is any philosophical expression. Observe the harmony of words and design.
3. Another good advice would be: do not translate your favorite phrases from Russian or another language into English using online translators. Often the option that the online translator will offer you will be the wrong translation. Moreover, catchphrases require a professional approach to translation.
