61 Meaningful Quote Tattoos – Beautiful, Inspiring & Artistic Designs
Inside: 61 beautiful quote tattoos that represent beautiful quotes and sayings that you love.
Script tattoos are some of the most common, but also some of the most daunting. What kind of font? Script? Sans serif? And what do you want to say on your body forever? I have never regretted a quote tattoo of my own, even though I always said I would never get one.
I’m picky, so here are my favorite quote tattoos that I think you should consider!
Should I Get A Quote Tattoo?
In short, yes! Quote tattoos are some of the best ways to manifest and remind yourself of the little things. Memorialize your favorite quote, the quote that got you through hard times, your good vibes mantra, anything.
When it comes to getting a quote tattoo, I would say be super intentional when choosing your artist, your font, your sizing, everything. Fonts can be trendy, and not every artist is great as every kind of tattoo.
When looking for these artists, think about if you want to be a fine line or a little thicker. You’d be fine with most people with a thicker style, but if you want a dainty script, find someone to specialize in fine line tattoo work.
Small Quotes Tattoos
I love small, tiny, minimalistic tattoos. And you can still have that even when it comes to quote tattoos if you’re intentional enough. Small quotes tattoos are right up my alley and I love the way you can make something with such big meaning so small.
I love the gentle placement of this one. The side of the arm with the soft font is so cute.
3. C’est La Vie
4. Grace
Even a simple one word gives the same effect.
Small and mixed in, it’s way cute.
A kitschy little phrase hyping yourself up will always be a fun tattoo and make for a great story one day!
8. Art
I’m personally obsessed with sternum tattoos and this one is too cool.
9. Everything Happens For A Reason

The forearm is a super popular place to put a quote tattoo. Or any tattoo for that matter.

Whatever your style is, check out these great forearm tattoo quotes for something special.

Meaningful Tattoo Quotes
The main question when you have tattoos is always: “What does that tattoo mean?” And usually my answer is: “Absolutely nothing. Just fun.”
But the only time this isn’t true is with the quote tattoos that I have. Meaningful tattoo quotes are something that I think are important, and I love a little reminder of something that means a lot to me.
28. So Far So Good
I love the reminder that there is always something greater beyond your usual life.

Spine Tattoo Quotes
I love the idea of a quote or a script going down your spine. Spine tattoos are already so cool, especially when they’re kind of linear and match the line of your spine, and a quote running up your back is a really cool way to do it.
I love these examples, I might just have to get one of these myself!
37. Linear Script
This script on the spine is so lovely.
39. She Is Art
Perpendicular to the spine and with a drawing down the back, this is such a pretty way to extend the design and get the spine tattoo.

42. Somewhere Over The Rainbow
A classy, classic, beautiful quote to have tattooed on your spine.

A rib tattoo is a classic for a lovely quote tattoo location.
48. Swoopy Script
