How to choose a tattoo font

Start with the feeling of the words. Flowing scripts suit names and love notes, Old English and gothic letters read bold and traditional, and clean capitals or a typewriter face keep dates and quotes plain.

Then check how it reads. Type the exact words, including dots or slashes in a date, and look at the smallest letters: thin scripts with tight loops are harder to read than open, rounder ones.

• Script and cursive: names, short words, soft and personal
• Old English and gothic: bold, traditional, strong contrast
• Typewriter and roman capitals: dates, coordinates, quotes
• Marker and brush scripts: hand-made, casual feel

Size, spacing and arched lettering

Lettering usually needs more room than people expect. Use the arch options to wrap a name over or under another design, and compare a straight and an arched version before you decide.

The downloaded PNG is transparent, so your artist can scale and redraw it. Bring both the text and the file: artists often adjust letter spacing and line weight for your skin and placement.

From lettering to a full patchwork

Names and dates often sit next to small pieces: a flower, a star, a pet portrait. Send any font to the Patchwork Builder with one click and arrange it with reviewed pieces or your own designs, then check the layout on skin.
