Long poems and verses most commonly fill in the blanks of these scrolls however, for something a little different you could create an ancient-looking painting within the body of the paper. The majority of scroll tattoos you will see will be either an unrolled (and often quite aged) piece of parchment paper, or a slender scroll rolled across another symbol, such as a heart.
However, many people like to use scroll tattoos when they want to express something with words instead of art, but would still like to have a dash of style in their piece. Scroll tattoos are generally used as a decorative border and - unless combined with other symbols - are usually without a meaning of their own.
