Serif / Typewriter Tattoos

Chantel Jeffries

Chantel Jeffries’ hip tattoo says “Noir,” the French word for “black.” It means more than just a color. “Noir: black, dark, dreary, mysterious, raven,” she wrote in an instagram post.

Though perhaps unintentionally, the tattoo also pays homage two of her ethnicities: she is both Black and French (Creole) as well as Native American, Irish, and Italian.

When she got this tattoo in May 2014 she knew what word she wanted but hadn’t decided where to put it on her body. On May 4th she tweeted “Hint: my next tat is French & very descriptive of myself” then on the 9th she wrote “Idk where to get my small one word tattoo on me and @RomeoLacoste is on his way to do it!”

She ended up getting it on the side of her left hip in a vintage-inspired typewriter font.

Niykee Heaton

Niykee Heaton got this “BI XI VI” tattoo on her hip to commemorate her debut EP “Bad Intentions.”  She got the tattoo in January 2014 when the title track was released as a single, though the EP was not released until September 2014.  “Getting my 4th tattoo. It’s very meaningful… also happens to be the name of my EP…” she tweeted.  The letters “BI” on the tattoo are an abbreviation for the album title “Bad Intentions” while “XI” and “VI” are roman numerals for 11 and 6.  “The road to hell is paved with good intentions. But the way to the top is paved with bad ones,” she wrote.
