We all have one quote or mantra that helps keep us centred and inspired. You might have this quote written on your fridge, on a keyring, or written down in your journal. But what about taking it a step further and getting it permanently inked on your skin?

As well as looking cute and pretty, the biggest benefit of getting a quote tattoo is that you can play around with the font to create something unique to you. If you like old manuscripts, you can get inked in a feather quill style font, if you like the aesthetic of typewriters, you can get yours printed in that specific key-print look. The sky’s the limit in terms of font and you can spend as long as you like choosing the perfect one to match the tone of your quote.

If you want to be sure to reap the benefits of seeing your preferred mantra everyday emblazoned on your body, then consider going down the permanent tattoo route. And, if you’re looking for ideas, then you’re in the right place. Below you’ll find tons of quote ideas for your next bold ink look.

Quote Tattoo Inspiration Guide

Song Lyrics Tattoos

If you have a favorite song and one particular lyric that you strongly connect with, then you might want to consider choosing it for your quote tattoo. Musical lyrics often carry a powerful sentiment, and particular songs can remind us of certain periods of our lives. If you can remember having an emotional tie with an Amy Winehouse song, or a Guns and Roses record, then think about which lyric resounded most with you, and go ahead and book your tattoo appointment!

Bible Verse Tattoos

There are so many beautiful bible verses that carry a deep meaning. If you’re a religious person, or you just appreciate the poetic lyricism of the bible, then you might want to look to the holy text for your next ink.
