Name tattoos are usually the most personal ink someone gets, whether a child, a parent, or a partner, so the lettering is everything. Flowing fine-line script feels intimate; bolder lettering reads clearly and ages well, and names pair naturally with dates and roman numerals to build a tribute.

FAQ
The meaning of a name tattoo depends on its style, color, and what it's paired with. The same subject can read as personal, spiritual, or a tribute. Browse the range above to see how different artists interpret it.
A small, simple name tattoo usually starts low, while a large or highly detailed piece costs more based on size, placement, and hours. Every artist on TattMe sets their own pricing and shows it upfront, so you get a real quote before you book.
Placement depends on the size and detail you want: forearms, shoulders, and thighs give an artist room for detail, while smaller name pieces suit the wrist, ribs, ankle, or behind the ear. Ask your artist for placement advice before you commit.
