If you’ve been considering getting a word tattoo, you might be wondering where to start. Should you get something short and sweet or go for an entire quote? Even once you’ve decided on your one-word tattoo idea, you’ll need to figure out what style to get it in. Will you go with a traditional-style script or opt for a fine-line design? Even after you’ve decided on all of that, you’ll need to think about placement. Will it fit perfectly on your finger or would a bicep be the best spot?
All tattoos are beautiful, whether they’re intricate, basic, large, or tiny in size. Occasionally, extensive detail is necessary, but there are times when all it takes is a simple one-word tattoo to get your message across. Being concise is powerful, brave, and confident, and having a tattoo that shows that is the prettiest statement you could make. Tattoos with just a single word truly stand out, so if you’re looking to get inked, let these ideas inspire you to wear your heart on your sleeve (or your ankle, back, wrist, what have you). These small words are reminders of the great things you can accomplish, no matter what may come your way.
Keep reading to see the prettiest word-tattoo ideas (many in different fonts and styles), and let your new ink be a fresh reminder of just how powerful words can be.
