Aramaic Tattoo Designs

Written Aramaic, on its own, tends to be rather asthetically pleasing; however, some people when they decide to have a logo or insignia designed, or decide to adorn themselves with a tattoo find that it looks much more professional when arranged by an artist who is familliar with the eccentricities of the language. You can purchase some of the designs you see here, below.

Aramaic Designs provides word-art services for those who are searching for a unique image for engraving, personal letterhead, crests, company insignias, and, of course, tattoo designs. In fact, as of June 2009, we have provided translations to over 2000 individuals for the purpose of Aramaic tattoos. That kind of experience no one else can claim.

Tattoo Stencils

When getting a tattoo done, one needs to have a template or stencil that the tattoo artist can work from. A stencil serves as a reference for the artist to work from to ensure that when your design is inked that it is done so properly. As such, they are very important. The website Tattoo Johnny has a great article on the subject detailing how stencils work which we highly recommend reading.

These are tattoo stencil kits that we have pre-made and ready to send. Please allow for up to a few weeks for electronic delivery via our website or email in to Information@AramaicDesigns.com for rush order information.

A Note About Tattoos

When it comes to Aramaic tattoos, "tribal designs" (i.e. designs that use broad black strokes) tend to work out better as they tend to compliment the nature of written Aramaic characters. On this page there are several examples of this technique. Also keep in mind that Aramaic is a language that, like Hebrew, is written from right to left. If you wish to re-arrange your design, or break it up into a number of lines, please consult us first. Finally, getting a tattoo is a serious decision to make, and as such we would like you to keep the following in mind:

1. Generally people are much happier with their tattoos when:
   • They get them when they are not pressured into it or stressed.
   • They take the time to think about whether they'll still like their body art in the future (as tattoos change with age).
2. Tattoos are permanent. While they can be removed by a laser procedure, this is very expensive, more painful than the original inking and may leave a scar.
3. Consider having the stencil applied first to see if you like it, then have it actually inked at a later date.
4. Choose the artist and studio VERY carefully.
5. Check up on the artist's reputation and on those who have used that artist's services:
   • Is the artist experienced and qualified? There is no central certifying body for tattoo artists (at least in the United States). Evidence of experience is very important.
   • Are printed instructions available for the care of your new body art?
   • Is the artist available if there are complications and how have they been handled in previous cases?
   • What are the artist's hygenic standards?
6. Once you've had the tattoo done be sure to:
   • Keep the area clean and dry until it's completely healed.
   • Apply an antibiotic or anti-bacterial ointment to the site as directed.
   • Cover finished tattoos with sunscreen to prevent fading. (If it bleaches, the reds and yellows will be the first colors to go.)
   • Monitor the site for signs of infection or other problems.

As a final note, we love getting pictures of the finished product!
