A typewriter font tattoo is a popular style used in creating script designs. These typewriter font tattoo ideas are sure to inspire your next tattoo. 

The courier typeface was designed by Bud Kettler in 1955, and implemented for IBM’s typewriters, before becoming a staple of personal computers for its ease of reading.

Typewriter font tattoo art generally uses benedictions and affirmations along with names and key personal anecdotes to tell ink stories on the skin.

Common themes are overcoming struggle, strength, positivity, and love, while for others the font may be used to celebrate the birth of a loved one or memorialize the loss of someone close to them.

Typewriter font tattoos are popular because they are simple and inexpensive designs, but also clean and concise to read, either as the subject or onlooker.

Typewriter Font Tattoo FAQs

What is the most popular typewriter font for tattoo art?

The most popular typewriter font is Courier, although there are plenty of other ones that will most definitely pass muster for use in your cool script tattoos.

The Courier typeface was designed by Bud Kettler in 1955 and implemented for IBM’s typewriters. 

The rise of computer technology saw Courier fonts adapted to use on the screen. There are different versions of it installed on most desktop computers, while many other typewriter-style fonts look very similar.

Are typewriter font tattoos only small designs?

No, typewriter font tattoo art comes in a diverse range of sizes and placements. 

While many visible script tattoos are quite small–especially on the hands and inner forearms, you’d be surprised at the number of tattoos that are as large as fully illustrative pieces.

Typewriter font tattoos on the back, chest, or even the upper thigh can be large-sized black ink pieces.

What do typewriter font tattoos say?

Typewriter font tattoo art generally uses benedictions and affirmations along with names and key personal anecdotes to tell ink stories on the skin.

Common themes are overcoming struggle, strength, positivity, and love, while for others the font may be used to celebrate the birth of a loved one or memorialize the loss of someone close to them.

Typewriter font tattoos are not just confined to the English language–there are many different languages that can be written in this style, including French, Latin, Spanish, and German.

How much do typewriter font tattoos cost?

Typewriter font tattoos are some of the most inexpensive design choices that collectors can use in bringing body art to life.

An established professional is likely to charge around $150 per hour to do a piece, but creating script tattoos using a stencil–or freehand–typewriter fonts can cost less due to their ease of creation and the speed of single color designs.

Small and simple designs may only cost the shop’s minimum fee, while some parlors may do script tattoo promotions for a cheap set price on a walk-in basis.

No matter the cost for your script or typewriter font tattoo, allow 15% of your budget for tipping your artist.
