Looking for Persian calligraphy tattoo ideas? This style combines language, poetry and art. Done well, they flow like a drawing. Done poorly, a single misplaced dot can change the meaning.
Scripts to know
- Nastaliq, the classic, elegant Persian script with long sweeping strokes.
- Shekasteh, a looser, more expressive “broken” style.
- Modern lettering, cleaner forms that work well at smaller sizes.
Accuracy first
Always confirm spelling and meaning with a native reader. Our clients often bring poetry from Hafez, Rumi or family sayings, and we draw the lettering by hand to fit the placement.
Placement and size
Long, vertical phrases suit the spine, forearm and ribs. Keep strokes large enough that thin lines will not blur, see fine line longevity.
Clients have travelled from outside Canada for our calligraphy work, read our Google reviews. See examples in the portfolio, then book a consultation.
