FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about our tattoo services and products.

What’s the best font to use for a lettering tattoo?

It depends on the message, size, and vibe you’re going for. Script fonts are great for elegant or emotional pieces, while serif or bold typefaces work well for strength and clarity. Your artist can help you choose or even create a custom style that fits perfectly.

Smaller fonts or very thin lines can blur slightly over the years, especially in areas with more friction or sun exposure. To avoid this, we recommend avoiding overly tiny text and sticking with clean, readable designs.

Yes! Just make sure your spelling and translation are 100% correct before the appointment. We’ll be happy to stylize it, but the meaning is your responsibility.

As a rule of thumb, script should be at least 1 cm tall (about ½ inch) to hold up well over time. Ultra-small text may blur or lose detail with healing and aging.
