Tattoos are made to allow us to express a bit of who we are, and poem tattoos are some of the best ways to do just that in a unique way. With poem tats you can say just about anything you want to about yourself, including your interests, some of your traits, or even who your favorite poets are. Below you will find some info about the reasons why people choose to get their poem tattoos and some of the very nice ways that you can get these tattoos designed.

In most cases people will choose their poem tattoos by simply picking the ones that have had the strongest impact on their lives. It could be the full poem or it might just be a few lines or words from that poem that impacted the person the most. What’s interesting is that the poem might have had an impact on a person’s life in a completely different way than you would expect by reading the words.

As we pointe above, some poem tattoos will include every single word from the poems, while others will have the owners’ favorite excerpts. It really comes down to how much skin you want to cover with your tattoo and whether or not the poem still has a strong impact with fewer words. Of course, some poems are very short so people’s decisions are made a lot easier in those cases.

People who do decide to just get a snippet of their favorite poems often do so to focus on what’s said in those particular lines. The fact is that different parts of poems can have different meanings, so sometimes it just makes sense to use the lines that focus on the meanings that you’re going for. Getting fewer lines also gives you more design space to work with since you will be able to fit those lines on more parts of your body.

Poem tattoos are also a great way to get a love tattoo without have to get one of the cliché love tats that so many people are getting these days. Poetry does have a way of getting to the ‘heart’ of what someone feels, so these tattoos are often seen as deeper and more meaningful love tattoos. If a poem has truly defined how you have felt about another person, you might find that those lines are the best ones to use in your poetry tattoo.
