Awesome Typographic Tattoos

Tattoos are a really big deal because that's something to mark you skin forever. One good way to go when you decide to get a tattoo is go for a typographic one! I'm not talking by experience, since I never got one, but that's what I would definitely do.

Think with me: if you're not sure of what tattoo you'll get, but you really dig some phrases, sayings, quotes or whatever, is much more certain to get a really badass one if you just go with what you got! My question for all of you right now is: What would you get tattooed? Just please don't tell me it's "All you need is love". ;p

We've had articles on tattoos in the past but today I wanted to share with you guys a different, simpler, and cuter, if you will, approach to tattooing.

Some of these are henna, some were done with permanent markers, and some are real tattoos. Despite these differences they all have one thing in common: very interesting and creative designs. No elaborate colors or shadings. Just simple outlines that make for very unique and well thought-out body art.

I came across a creative project by Thomas Brodahl called "Tattooday" where he wrote a different saying or lyric on his arm everyday in hopes that the words sink into his mind, and the meaning into his body. I found his approach very interesting so I decided to share some of his temporary tattoos with you today. You can check out his whole series here.

And you can also send me your suggestions/feedback via twitter or facebook. I'd love to hear from you!
