Check the spelling twice
Spelling mistakes in tattoos are more common than you think. Before you book:
- Check accents and special letters (José, Zoë, François).
- Ask someone to read the phrase out loud.
- For other languages, confirm the translation with a native speaker.
- Choose a date format: 06.12.2020 or 12/06/20 read differently around the world.
Short phrases people love
"This too shall pass", "Breathe", "Amor fati", "Still here" and children's names are among the most requested. Try each in a few styles and see which one suits the placement.
