Old English lettering Tattoos are one of our most popular requested styles here at Captain Bret’s Tattoo Shop In Newport, RI.

 Although called Old English lettering, it is actually not correctly named. The font was mistakenly called "Old English" because of the incorrect belief that it was the font for Old English.

The truth is that Old English existed way before the font was even invented, and it was not the actual font style used in Old English writing.

The proper name for the font we call "Old English" is actually known as “BLACK-LETTER”. The Black-letter font first arrived in 12th century western Europe and was the font of choice for that era until the 16th century. Old English lettering tattoos are based on this Black-letter font.


Historically the Celts often used to have endless knots in their artwork. These knots had no start or end and these tattoos were worn to symbolize never-ending love, faith, or life. Often they would use the knots in lettering and this lettering is what is used today in Celtic tattoos. Celtic lettering also often incorporates animals and mythical creatures within the knots of the lettering.
