Glyph tattoos are way cooler than one would think because let’s be honest—how many people are fluent in “glyph?” It’s hardly acceptable to say that there is such a definitive glyph language when in fact, glyphs are just symbols. They are little images and shapes and squiggles and lines. But these shapes often represent inspiring messages and help to motivate those that come in contact with them.
More specifically, glyph tattoos allow the wearer to keep their message personal. Of course, this may encourage the dreaded question, “What does your tattoo mean?”
In this gallery specifically, you will see glyphs that stand for exploration, transformation, creativity, and more. Check it out!
