This form of ancient art has been adopted by well-known celebrities. The Tibetan language is known to be sacred until today. There are a number of tattoo artists who specialize in Tibetan language and its calligraphy. Words and phrases were translated in Tibetan language to be used in Tibetan tattoos.

Umeh and Uchen are the two various Tibetan calligraphy. Uchen is the formal type of language used in Tibet. It is also used as a header in a letter to indicate the importance of the phrase or word. Umeh is the not so formal type and has many variations in itself. This would be based upon the length of the strokes.  With Tibetan tattoos it is possible to help create your own tattoo by working with the artist.

Tibetan tattoos have spiritual effect on the person who is wearing them. Some people prefer to have a Tibetan proverb or a phrase translated in Tibetan language when getting their tattoo. Adding to this, the length, width and the script are given immense importance as each stroke in this language is known to be sacred.

A lot of tattoo artists concentrate on the importance of translating these words correctly. It is also recommended, that a person must consult an expert in Tibetan language before deciding on a Tibetan tattoo. These tattoos are written horizontally on their skin because it will have a different meaning when written vertically. Many tattoo artists look down upon people who request 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 fact there are specific guidelines that should be strictly followed about where these tattoos have to be where and where they shouldn’t be placed on the body. Along with this, there are specific rules on the shape and size of the tattoo. However you can still help design your own tattoo with the artist. So before having this kind of tattoo, make sure to pick the style that would suit you well.
