Such a tattoo provides a wonderful opportunity to express oneself, declare one's way and meaning of life, talk about one's feelings and beliefs, express and affirm one's life position, emphasize the hidden line of the soul and the strength of the human spirit.

Such an inscription can be used as a signature or commentary on some drawing or as an independent tattoo. But in the case of phrases in Latin for tattoos, they carry a lot more sense than any drawing.

In fact, there are a lot of popular and I would say already hackneyed phrases in Latin, but I advise you not to repeat other people's thoughts and someone else's styles, but to express only your own, and let them be understood only by you, or narrow circles of your acquaintances, but they will carry a special meaning. Tattoos in Latin can express all thoughts and feelings, in any way you like. Often, without resorting to meaning, people simply use the beauty of Latin letters, depicting names, dates or titles on themselves. Although the catalogs have a lot of suggestions for ready-made thoughts, words and phrases and their images, a skilled tattoo artist will be able to fill you with any expression in any handwriting and font. This kind of tattoo can, in principle, be located on any part of the body, in any form, and different colors. It all depends on the desires and style of self-expression of the client.

winged expressions are used as tattoos, latin proverbs, quotes from the Bible and other books. But only so that they fit perfectly and become another personal characteristic of the tattoo wearer.
