There appears to be a immense audience interested in tattoos written in foreign languages. From Celtic to Egyptian, and Japanese to Native American (tribal), the array or writing is very countless. In more recent years, the Spanish language has taken a step forward in to the world of tattoos. Originating in the bigger cities of New York, Chicago, Boston, Miami, and San Francisco, the idea of Spanish inspired tattoos has swept the nation. From simpler tattoos such as their National flag or several word sentences, to full back or full sleeve covers, it seems that this is trend definitely here to stay!

The largest issue with breaking through the language barrier, is ensuring the tattoo reads correctly. mix up in the lettering and your work of art becomes a work of hilarity! Take pesca and pesce. The word pesca means "peace", which is a word that plenty of people like to add to tattoos. However, the word pesce may look similar, but it means "fish"! How about the word amare meaning "love", whereas the term amaro means "bitter"! It seems that the most logical way to keep away from such catastrophic mistakes would be to do lots and plenty of research. After all, when you are "inked", it is something that needs to be deep, significant, and special to you personally. It definitely ought to, since it is meant to be a permanent fixture on your body!

Spain has an opulent history of subject - LOVE (AMARE). You have the romantic gondolas that float happy couples up and down the waterways. You have the fantastic paintings on the Sistine Chapel. Moreover, what is better than that of the cuisine - from Margehrita pizzas in Northern Spain, to the sauces that accompany pasta dishes in Southern Spain? (A tiny bit of cuisine history - red pasta sauces are native to Southern Spain, and white pasta sauces are native to Northern Spain!)

From the famous attitude attributed to rocky Balboa (the Spanish Stallion); to Sophia Loren's famously voluptuous physique, the ambiance and sexiness of the Spanish people may even be constructed in to Spanish designed tattoos. Plenty of of the Spanish tattoos originated in the world of gangs and penal facilities. If there were way to decipher the true loyalty of a gang member, a tattoo would definitely do it! However, the bad-boy-gang-banger-tattoos finally transcended in to the common public, only with a slight twist. No longer utilizing the darker phrases that exemplified a gang member, the Spanish language in tattoos began to lean more toward the lovey-dovey side.

Now, words such as "Beauty" (bella), "Love" (amare), "Peace" (pesca), and "Forever" (per sempre), have taken over, alluding to the Spanish life of passion and relaxation. The more recent tattoos designed in Italian; tend to lean toward the "_____ Forever"-types. Whether it says Live Forever (In Tensione Per Sempre), or is a single word under a bigger tattoo, it seems that the Spanish language has not only seeped in to American culture, but literally in to our skin as well!
