From simple one word expressions to paragraph long poems, the length and range of meaning behind typographic tattoos is tremendous. There is no limit on the possibilities of words to have tattooed upon yourself. I have seen typographic tattoos that are as simple as a persons initials all the way to full bible verses. Sometimes the message is completely original, and other times it can be someone else's work that really touches a person in an emotional way. What it boils down to is a individual's choice and what really has meaning, or in some cases doesn't, to them. Sometimes, the words of someone else can express something about yourself that you would otherwise never be able to articulate. Wether a passage from your favorite book or song lyric, sometimes it just fits. It's not always so much what you say, but the typeface which you use to display it. Some people celebrate their favorite fonts that can represent a whole person, idea or meaning in a single letter. Just making sure the tattoo fits you and your personality is sometimes the hardest part. Whatever the typographic tattoo that a person chooses to get, I personally recommend putting a lot of careful thought and consideration into the tattoo artist. The artist is ultimately the one that can make or break the tattoo.
