Chawls Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm getting a tattoo that's a word. However, I'm brown skinned and many people my shade and darker often use fonts that I find illegible. So, with your vast knowledge of fonts, what's a good one for a tattoo?If it matters, my tattoo will read: La Fierté. It's French for "pride" and will represent my Louisiana Creole pride.

raysox Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'd definitely stay away from something thin and cursive. But i'd say something thick and elegant for something like Pride to be tattooed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54Chevy Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Make sure have a good tattoo artist, that's the most important. A legible font can become a mess in a hurry with the wrong person.Size and placement on your body will also affect this. So, any more info?

fiasco! Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 One of my friends has "univers" tattooed on his arm in Univers. Looks great. I would use a bold classic sans serif. Just make sure you use an artist that is known for text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 My buddy got "with your shield or on it" tattooed on his arm in JokerMan. He thought it looked awesome. We are no longer friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fu***ng Jokerman.Apparently he was busy stabbing himself in the arm with heroin needles, so he likely saw something more out of it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
