The tattoos in which we find scrolls are usually distinguished by having a fragment of written text (or other types of messages, such as hieroglyphs) that the person getting the tattoo wants to stand out. Thus, although the parchment is an important element, it has to be in perfect harmony with the text it contains. That is, do not overshadow it or stand out in its proper measure.

On the other great element of this type of parchment, the text, is distinguished by having a minimum of seriousness. Although we will find everything in this life, it is more likely that we will find a text that is important to the person who has the tattoo (for example, "carpe diem" or a fragment of his favorite book) than an inscription that says "fool who read it ”.

Things to keep in mind in this type of tattoos

When opting for scrolls tattoos it is highly recommended that you have a series of tips consider:

  • It is better if the parchment is not very heavy with text or colors. The simpler and more spacious, the more the design will “breathe”.
  • Continuing with the design: you can combine the parchment with other items (flowers, candles, animals ...) but try to make the elements harmonize and not step on each other.
  • Choosing the font is also an art. Although you are not required to use medieval fonts like gothic, avoid using modern aberrations like comic sans.
  • Last but not least, check that the text does not contain even a misspelling.
