About Lettering Tattoos

Lettering turns words into art, and it's a genuine specialty — many of the most respected names in the craft are letterers first. It spans script, calligraphy, blackletter, traditional banners and custom type.

• Good lettering looks effortless and is anything but — weight, spacing and slant must be perfect
• It has to flow with the body and stay readable for decades
• Poorly planned text is a top regret — a true specialist designs the layout and typeface
• Script and blackletter are different skill sets; ask to see healed work in your style
• Proofread every word, and verify any non-English or stylized text before committing
