Common questions about name tattoos
Which names work well as a tattoo?
The most common name tattoos honor children, a partner, or parents — often paired with a birth date, heart, crown, or zodiac sign. What matters most is a clearly legible font at a sufficient size.
Where's the best place for a name tattoo?
Classic spots are the forearm, wrist, collarbone, and chest (close to the heart). Longer names fit well on the forearm or along the ribs; short ones also work on a finger or the nape of the neck.
Getting your partner's name tattooed — good idea?
Studios often suggest symbols or initials instead of a full name — or children's names and family symbols, which stand the test of time. If you go for it anyway, keep in mind that a cover-up later is a lot of work.
How much does a name tattoo cost?
A single line of script (5–15 cm) typically runs €80–200 at tattoo studios in Germany, depending on the studio, placement, and embellishments. See the tattoo cost calculator for details.
