Calligraphy tattoo

Betsy Dunlap does gorgeous calligraphy for weddings and invitations. But her cutest project recently was a man's tattoo with his daughters' names. How tough and sweet at the same time.

  23. I love calligraphy. It was required at my school and I never regret having to sit perfecly and painstakingly perched with a fountain pen for an hour. Such a beautiful art form.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  32. what a sweet thing for a father to do. xo.

    ReplyDelete

  33. so pretty! never seen a calligraphy tat before! :) text tattoos sometimes bother me because they can look stamped on... but the placement of this and the curving lines... it just fits. looks like it is meant to be there.

    ReplyDelete

  34. I've never desired a tattoo, but if it was something that beautiful I just might reconsider!

    ReplyDelete

  35. So very cute! Great idea:)

    ReplyDelete

  36. Ooh, I like this twist! Re-inventing the tattoo wheel, I love it.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  38. OMG cant imagine that

    ReplyDelete

  39. i'm not normally a fan of tattoos and neither is the hubs, put if someone held a gun to our heads and HE had to get one, i would want it to look like that!

    ReplyDelete

  40. that is beautiful. I have one tattoo. my son's name with a circle of hearts connecting it around my upper wrist. so it looks like a bracelet. I love it and get lots of compliments on it.

    ReplyDelete

  44. this post made my heart sing.

    also; congrats on the new job. I've been following your blog for a while & just wanted to say I'm quite a fan.

    ReplyDelete

  45. omg, Joanna, I'm such a ditz. I meant to leave that comment on coco&kelly but I must have accidentally started typing in the wrong window.

    at any rate, the first part still stands! :)

    ReplyDelete

  46. I'm not a tattoo person at all, but love this...

    ReplyDelete

  48. I absolutely love the idea of tattooing your child's name on your arm. I almost did it just like this a few years ago but I chickened out. I wasn't going to get it in black in but a light light grey....a bit more feminine. I love my daughter Havana Winter so much and I still might get it. This man's tattoo is awesome!!

    ReplyDelete

  49. I'm pretty sure I'm going to steal this idea when I have kids someday!

    ReplyDelete

  50. I love Betsy's work, but this is by far my most favorite thing she has done. I love it. How can I make my husband have this idea himself? Unless... can I make him get one? No? Ok.

    ReplyDelete

  51. wow this tattoo makes me think of how i want my next one! it's soooo awesome! i love it!

    ReplyDelete

  53. pretty : ) xoxo

    ReplyDelete

  55. that is such a sweet gesture! and the calligraphy is gorgeous.

    ReplyDelete

  56. Wow, that's kind of amazing!!!

    ReplyDelete

  57. i'm not a fan of tattoos, generally, but that is MAD COOL. i think, like you mentioned, it's the combination of masculinity and feminity that makes it so interesting...
