One of the most popular areas of tattoos right now for men and women both are written and word tattoo designs.  These have become so popular in the last year or two it is really amazing.  There are tons of great designs and ideas out there and since they have not been overdone like many other designs they still look fresh and unique.  They are a easy to make original by changing the font for the saying and you are good to go.  Here are some of the top locations to get a word tattoo and one of the most currently popular designs for men.

Under Forearm Tattoos

Forearm tattoos of course are really nothing new.  In fact this was one of the most popular places to get tattooed back in the 40's when soldiers were off fighting in World War II.  In fact my grandfather himself had a nice pinup girl tattoo on his forearm.  However, these are not your grandfather's tattoo boy so hang in there.  These are under the forearm right along the bone area.  Yes they are painful and it should not be your first tattoo ever.  However, if you can bear with the pain you end up getting a really hot looking tattoo and a perfect area for a written or word tattoo design.

Rib Cage Tattoos

Rib cage tattoos are very popular right now and it is a very unique and original place to get a tattoo design.   These work great for any type of large tattoo such as a pinup girl, a dragon or even an anchor tattoo.  However, the best is a written literary word tattoo.  It could be a popular saying, a foreign word or the lyrics to a song that holds significance to you.

Collarbone Tattoos

Collarbone tattoos have been around for a long time but they have always been for the dedicated few.  Like a forearm tattoo, rib cage tattoo a collarbone tattoo design is often pretty painful to get.  Yet they look great for written literary tattoo designs.  The saying in a collarbone tattoo can kind of arc up in a semi half circle shaping around the bottom of the neck making for a really great looking design.

Ambigrams

The last but also one of the most quickly growing and popular written tattoo designs is the ambigram tattoos.  Ambigram tattoos are essential tattoos that are composed of two words with almost the same number of letters in each word.  The two words are then combined in a unique way to make t one of the words read right side up and then when the design is flipped over the other word can be read.  So one way it might read Angel and then flipped upside down it reads Devil.  These are great for designs where there is an opposite.
