FAQ — Lettering tattoos

What styles read best on skin?

Scripts with consistent stroke and spacing. We adjust curves, kerning and size to your placement so it reads clean at arm’s length.

Do thin scripts fade faster?

With proper needle size, value control and aftercare, thin scripts can age clean. We’ll advise by placement (wrist vs. ribs, etc.).

What are the best placements?

Forearm (outer), collarbone, wrist (upper side) and ribs. We map flow with your anatomy to keep readability and movement.
