One of the many popular tattoo designs that most people get is a special tattoo done using Old English letters. A group of people use their last name(s), some expression, or perhaps a Bible verse that means something memorable or extraordinary to them executed in Old English in the process. A person can enhance their own personal tattoo just by doing some smooth graphic design work. One does not need to be a specialist, nor a professional who understands the use of photo editing software; simple basics will do just fine.

Step 1.

Visit Font Space online and download a free Old English font. There are a large number of various Old English font spells that you can choose from. Some fonts contain faded text that is broken and all other forms of designs that look awesome too. Choose one you prefer and save it to “my documents” on your desktop or laptop.

Step 2.

Extract the contents of the compressed file containing the fonts and add the software to one of the Fonts documents. Proceed below to the bottom left corner, enter the Start menu, double-click the icon in control panel, and wait for your computer to respond. As soon as this folder is opened, you will see a pop-up containing all available font types. Go ahead and open the alternate window that contains the font you want to install on your laptop or desktop. Click on this new file and move it to your Fonts folder. This process will immediately set the font in the package that you will use to design your tattoo.

Step 3.

The third step requires you to open the photo editing computer software. In the event that you do not currently own this software, you opt to purchase Adobe Photoshop software. It is one of the state-of-the-art photo editing graphics and design software that will allow you to style and design various different projects.

Step 4.

Go to File and open New. You will have opened a blank page. Shape this document the way you want it to appear.

Step 5.

Go to the Type tool, click on it, and set a text box to appear on your background, which will be the proper dimensions associated with this design. At this point go to the drop down menu and it will allow you to select the old English font you want. Select the font size and color that you would probably like it to end up being. The most effective color for creating Old English tattoos is strong black as they show up very significantly on the skin.

Step 6.

The last step in this process is to take your personally developed design to the best professional in the field or to your neighborhood tattoo shop. Have the artist take a look at the design and measure it to fit the part of the body you want to get tattooed on. After all of that is over, have your design perfectly tattooed onto your body.
