Welcome to Arabic Calligraphy Design. I practice traditional and contemporary Arabic calligraphy, and do custom calligraphy for tattoos, design work, and original pieces. All my work is hand-written, I do not use computer fonts in my designs. To get started, have a look at the Styles page to see some of the different styles I normally work in, or if you’re interested in a tattoo, click the Tattoos page. When you’re ready, send me an email at arabic.calligrapher@gmail.com, and we can work together on what you’d like designed.

Styles

These are the styles of calligraphy that I typically work in. They are by no means the only styles of Arabic calligraphy, so if you are looking for something specific please email me with details and I can see if I am able to . I divide them into two broad categories: traditional, and contemporary.

Traditional styles have long histories and a lineage of teaching going back many generations, and I approach them with more discipline as far as what is and is not possible. Contemporary styles are modern creations, either my own or other calligraphers, and are more flexible in terms of form, in many cases.
