Lettering Tattoo Questions
A lettering tattoo is built around words: a name, a date, a quote or a single word, in anything from fine script to bold block letters. It can follow a font you like, or the lettering can be drawn for your piece.
The exact wording, spelled the way you want it, any dates, and examples of lettering styles you like. Sketches or photos help. It also helps to send them ahead through the form.
Lettering holds up best when it is big enough for the letters to stay open. Very small, tight script can blur together over the years. Keep a new tattoo out of the sun for at least 2 weeks, and always use sunscreen after that.
