Lettering

Lettering tattooing spans everything from flowing copperplate script to graffiti wildstyle, from Gothic blackletter to minimalist sans-serif type. The craft is in the execution: clean letter spacing, consistent stroke weight, smooth curves, and clear legibility that holds up as the tattoo ages. Lettering artists who understand typography, calligraphy, and ink behavior on skin are a different skill level from general tattoo artists who also do text. A well-executed lettering tattoo carries words for a lifetime; a poorly executed one can become illegible within years.
