Why Morse code tattoos are popular
A Morse code tattoo hides a meaning in plain sight: only people who know the code, or who you tell, can read it. That makes it a favorite for names of children and partners, memorial dates, coordinates and private words. The dots and dashes are naturally small and minimal, so they fit wrists, fingers, collarbones and ankles.
How Morse code is spaced
In International Morse Code a dash is three times as long as a dot. Inside a letter the marks are separated by one dot of space, letters are separated by three, and words by seven. The generator keeps this rhythm so the code stays readable, and draws a slash between words, as many Morse tattoos do.
