What to Expect When You Book

Lettering tattoos raise specific questions about font choice, placement, and long-term readability. Here's what you should consider before your consultation.

Can I use my own handwriting or a loved one's?
Yes, you can bring a sample of handwriting to be traced and tattooed. Your artist will refine the letters to ensure they're clean and readable while preserving the original style.
What fonts work best for tattoos?
Fonts with clear spacing and defined lines age best. Your artist will recommend styles that balance aesthetics with long-term readability, especially for smaller text.
How do I choose the right placement for lettering?
Placement depends on text length and visibility. Forearms, ribs, and collarbones work well for longer phrases, while wrists and fingers suit shorter text. Your artist will suggest placements that complement the design in Arlington.
Will the text blur over time?
Proper line work and spacing prevent blurring. Choosing a font with adequate spacing and avoiding overly intricate details helps your tattoo stay crisp as it ages.
Can I combine lettering with other design elements?
Absolutely. Lettering pairs well with symbols, flowers, or backgrounds. Your artist will design a composition that balances text and imagery for a cohesive, visually appealing result.
