Lettering tattoo was made popular by celebrities such as Madonna, Britney Spears and Victoria Beckham. The Hebrew script has diagrammatic and elegant characters making them ideal and perfect for tattoos. Those who get these would like to imply their religious or spiritual belief specifically the teachings of Kabbalah . Kanji originated from China and were later adopted by the Japanese for their writing system. They are very popular as lettering tattoos because the characters are ideographic and visually attractive, each representing a whole idea or object.
Chinese symbols being used as tattoos are another popular type. Strong words such as "strength", "love", "wisdom" and others are being translated into Chinese characters. The brush strokes of Chinese calligraphy have particular shapes and strokes so one must not add their own artistic flair as it can easily change its meaning. Unlike the other foreign language, Latin is easier to translate and pronounce. Some of the famous European languages such as French, Italian and Spanish originated from the Latin vocabulary. As for tattoos, the ones being used are usually phrases and quotes that the tattoo wearer can relate to. Despite it being practically a dead language, its appeal and charm still remain.
