12 Tattoo Trends for 2025 to Try, from Florals to Fine Art

Lettering and Script

Lettering, font, and script tattoos remain a popular pick in 2025. They’re clean, simple, design-forward, and—okay—a bit obsessive in application. “Text is one part of design by itself,” Min says. “Some love modern-look typography, and some prefer natural-feel calligraphy or handwriting. Even though it is only words, there are so many things going on. Size, space, type, etc.”

The trick to obtaining a truly stunning lettering tattoo is to vet your artist. “Since text tattoos are relatively simple, people tend to think it’s easy,” Min explains. “I would say it’s the trickiest tattoo, since each text should be exactly the same in terms of thickness, direction, angle, and curve.”
