Your Aramaic Tattoo Script



The Aramaic language has a long and fascinating history, and throughout it a large numbers of scripts were used to commit it to stone, parchment, and paper. The scripts can be quite diverse graphically. Some are cursive, while others are not; some use curved flowing lines, while others have the look of short straight lines painstakingly carved into rock. Nevertheless, the scripts tend to include the same letters representing the same sounds.

Therefore, when you come to design your Aramaic tattoo, you need to choose the script for your inscription. Each Aramaic script you might consider using for your Aramaic tattoo has its own story: how it developed, when it was used, how extensively it was used, where and by whom.

However, if it is all the same to you, you can certainly choose your Aramaic tattoo’s script and font based on how appealing you find its graphic beauty and style. Some even choose to mix and match Hebrew and Aramaic in their tattoos, in order to create a truly unique design conveying a personal meaning.

Whatever you decide, your tattoo can have both the meaning and the look you choose.
