Features of a tattoo in the form of initials
A person who decides to perpetuate something for himself during his lifetime turns to a tried-and-true means: tattooing on the skin. It is much more difficult to bring it together than to draw it in a tattoo parlor - the choice must be deliberate and balanced. One of the many directions - initials.
Types of tattoos
Initials can remind of children, "second half", parents, and so on.... The rarest phenomenon is the initials of characters from movies and games, since fanaticism is passable and reversible, and the annoying inscription or image will have to be removed, and it is many times more difficult to erase it than to apply it. It can be reduced only by destroying the dermis in this place - the intermediate and at the same time the main layer of the skin, which, unlike the epidermis, does not slough off and does not renew.
If you put the initials of a loved one with whom life has brought you together, then this is worthwhile. Except when you get divorced, and get divorced after living for several years, nowadays there are many. Having decided which of your family and friends you will immortalize for yourself, choose the appropriate sketch style that the master will transfer from paper to your body.
Initials in the Latin alphabet are mainly applied either by foreigners or by our fellow citizens who often travel abroad. If you have been living in Russia all your life, it is still preferable to put the initials of Russian names in Cyrillic.
This is not a rule, but only recommendations. You decide which letters - Latin or Russian, as well as the style to use in the pinned pattern.
Performance styles
After choosing specific initials, decide on the style of application. Check them out before you visit the tattoo artist: there is no need to make a decision on the spot, spontaneously, since you would not have been morally prepared for this.
The following styles were popular in the 2010s, many of them have not lost their relevance in 2021.
- "Old school" and "new school". For example, flowers and branches with leaves, ribbons with inscriptions, etc. These styles make it easy to introduce new lettering ideas on the fly.
- Trash polka - large patterns, inscriptions and initials, with a predominance of contrast between black and red.
- Engraving tattoos - original, laconic initials. To give the perception of 3D (visual illusion of the observer), blurred transitions of different colors are used here. They also make the drawing (initials in this case) the most intense and vibrant.
- "Spot work" - letters, numbers from dots, circles of different diameters. For example, the effect of smeared printing, blurring of dots, their "non-dot" tracing will give the tattoo a certain effect of negligence.
Stands alone on this list thin font... Font taken from Windows and Microsoft Word, Photoshop is strictly prohibited here. Be original! For example, you can use the "Church Slavonic" style - this is how slogans are often written at the entrance to many Russian cities. Even if the tattoo is created in "Photoshop", the master - in accordance with your wishes - will show imagination.
Accommodation options
When a client orders a second tattoo, they can be combined using the same style. Then the tattoo, which depicts the initials, does not look like an addition, but as a whole system, which is one image. In the case when the user injects a tattoo for the first time, then it is worth considering a list of suitable places on the body for printing the selected pattern on them.
So, from the inside on the hand they draw the initials, for example, of children, parents or a life partner. The guy who inscribed himself in this place the initials of his girlfriend, and later his wife, chooses one of the places visible to an outside observer, one of which she herself is. The same initials will work for the wrist. Loin - this place is chosen by the girls. But the forearm is more suitable for guys.
Do not let this matter take its course. It is difficult to get rid of the “wrong” tattoo. Flattening can leave an irreparable scar on the skin.
Even if you use stimulants that heal wounds and repair tissues, for example, natural propolis, there is no guarantee that the scar can be removed without a trace, only skin grafting from another place on the body will help.
And despite the fact that in case of damage the skin is able to recover, if moles appear in the tattoo area (with age), then there is a non-zero probability of earning skin cancer, therefore the application of "tattoos" is an extremely responsible matter.
Users changing the initial language can try the following options:
- in Japanese or Chinese - such an image looks fashionable in the place of the projection of the vertebrae, since the straightness of the outline is extremely important here;
- Arabic letters are used on open areas of the body;
- large-sized letters are made on spacious areas of the skin that are open to everyone's view (but openness to others is not important here);
- on women on the ankles and on the finger, small initials look exquisite.
The most important question is to answer yourself honestly whether you are ready to wear the pinned image for the rest of your life.
