Tattoo Lettering
Many tattoo designs have lettering in them. A name, a date or even a biblical scripture, tattoo lettering can make a great addition to the image you choose for your tattoo. Some artists are more talented with lettering than others although most artist have developed the talent due to the frequency people choose lettering.
Once you've found a tattoo artist you want to do your work, you can go to the next step in your research. The font. There are hundreds of choices and many of them can be found on the internet or any word type of program. Once you have found a selection of fonts that strike your fancy, put the words or word you have choosen in the font to get the full effect. Some fonts have lettering styles that may give the look of a particular letter a confusing appearance and may cause the lettering to be hard to make out. Not something you want for a tattoo.
it is common to utilize handwriting for memorial tattoos. Trust your judgement but also get others to look at your choices and give their opinion. It's always a good idea to get a fresh pair of eyes to take a look.
Most importantly - spelling! I don't think I even have to elaborate on this one.
