All about tattoo in Arabic
Arabic tattoos hold a special place in modern tattoo art... From the symbols and original inscriptions, the attractive East blows. Handwritten letters in Arabic look very impressive and attract attention. Meaningful texts can be expressed in a couple of words. These tattoos have recently been in great demand among both ordinary people and celebrities.
Muslim attitudes towards inscriptions
Arabic letters resemble hieroglyphs in their appearance. As a rule, for tattoos, it is customary to use the scriptures of Islamic peoples, which are called ALA. The shape used by the craftsmen was formed in the 17th century. It turns out that the Arabic language is the youngest. Before you get a tattoo in Arabic, you should know that it is read from right to left. This makes it similar to Chinese and Japanese. In total, there are 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet, of which 14 are long vowels, and the rest are consonants. Special vowel icons are used to mark short vowels.
The phrases that most often include tattoos are based on the handwritings "Naskh" and "Ruk" a ". The structure of the handwriting is of great importance for the Arabic writing. It is worth noting that the form of writing is aimed at sensory perception. The Islamic community is very conservative about tattoos. The views of Muslims are quite close to the worldview of the 19th century. According to orthodox Muslims, drawing on the body is a sin. Such prohibitions are explained by the scriptures that are in the Qur'an.
They narrate that during the Last Judgment Allah will ask for the spoiled bodies.
There are standards in Islam that do not allow the body to be changed. After all, this is regarded as interference with God's idea of man. Various images on the skin that distort human nature are condemned by figures in the religious sphere. The dogmas reflect the idea that the body is the temple of the soul. However, despite such views, Muslim youth tattoo themselves. Boys and girls are not afraid of strict prohibitions and decorate bodies. New generations are not so conservative and are ready to consider Arab tattoos not a sin, but simply beautiful designs.
Varieties of phrases
Before making tattoos with inscriptions, you should translate your favorite word or saying into Russian... Moreover, it is advisable to do this not with the help of various translation services, since they often give an inaccurate result. As a result, incorrectly composed phrases are obtained, without meaning. Choosing Arabic tattoos is best done with the help of an artist who understands calligraphy and knows how to depict it. This will allow in the future to correctly interpret the meaning of the image.
Arabic script is able to effectively decorate any part of the body. Women especially like her attractive appearance. Mysterious and attractive ligature makes the tattoo mysterious in the eyes of those who do not know the meaning or translation. This is also liked by the carriers of such images, who want the inscriptions to remain incomprehensible to others. Arabic tattoos can consist of a single word, a sentence, or even a whole poem. Stunning calligraphy can infuse beauty into wise sayings, religious phrases and motivating slogans in any style.
Do not stop when applying images on the body in only one black color... Drawings using bright colors will look more fashionable. The abundance of colors can bring Arabic characters to life, making them even more attractive. For women with dark skin, symbols in Arabic and patterns in white ink are an excellent solution. This type of tattoo has become increasingly popular in recent years.
There is no less demand for inscriptions made in nastalik design. It is characterized by writing phrases and letters in a circle. As a result, original body images are obtained.
