tattoo designs Tattoo letters are part of the culture in a very long time, but are furious over recent years. First of all tattoos letters were used to beautify and improve the design of the tattoo. The most common example is the anchor tattoo with words like "home sweet home", "mother", etc., were used with it. Sailors used to get a tattoo, heart and decorate them words like "mama" or the name of their beloved tattooed with it. But now tattoos letters do not add extra piece of design, have themselves become a tattoo design itself.
