This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Harvard chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

There are three important factors to the creation of a great word tattoo: quote, location, and font. All three create the meaning and the aesthetic. With what can feel like endless fonts and variations of fonts, it can be hard to settle on which one fits your tattoo. You can start by selecting one of these common tattoo font types, and then make variations as needed to match your aesthetic.
