Many well-known celebrities have adopted this form of ancient art. The Tibetan language is known to be sacred until today. A number of tattoo artists are recognized for their specialization in Tibetan language and its calligraphy. Words and phrases were translated in Tibetan language to be used in Tibetan tattoos.

There are generally two variants of Tibetan calligraphy, known as Umeh and Uchen. Uchen is the formal type of language used in Tibet. A header in a letter is written in this language to show the importance of that phrase or work. The other script, Umeh is not so formal in style and has many variants in itself. This is dependent on how long the strokes are.  With Tibetan tattoos it is possible to help create your own tattoo by working with the artist.

These forms of Tibetan tattoos give a spiritual effect on the person who wears them. Many people who wish to get a tattoo done, usually desire to get a Tibetan proverb done or any phrase that has been translated into Tibetan language. The length, width and the script are very significant because each stroke in this language is sacred.

Many tattoo artists focus on the importance of translating these words correctly. It is also advised, that a person must consult an expert in Tibetan language before choosing a Tibetan tattoo. These tattoos are crafted horizontally on their skin as each letter may have a different meaning when written in a vertical style. Many tattoo artists look down upon people who ask them to translate their names into Tibetan language, as these letters, on translation, when put together might not make too much sense in Tibetan language.

In getting this tattoo, it is also crucial that you consider where the tattoo would be engraved. There are guidelines that must always be followed as to where they should and shouldn’t place the tattoo on the body. Along with this, there are certain rules on the shape and size of the tattoo. However you can still help design your own tattoo with the artist. So prior to having this kind of tattoo, be sure to pick the style that would suit you well, as it is permanent life long commitment.
