Frequently asked questions
Can my artist tattoo one of these fonts exactly?
+
Yes — bring a screenshot of the style you like as a reference. Most artists will redraw the lettering by hand to suit your placement and size rather than tracing the font file, which is normal and produces a better tattoo. The preview’s job is to let you point at the style you mean.
How small can a lettering tattoo be?
+
As a rule, script under about 2 cm tall loses legibility within a few years, because ink spreads slightly in skin and thin letterforms close up. Fine, high-contrast faces need to be larger than bold ones. Short words, sized generously, on low-friction placements age best.
Why do artists warn against long quotes?
+
Every extra word is more tiny lettering that has to survive decades of ink spread — and more chances for a mistake to matter. A single meaningful word nearly always ages better, reads better from a distance, and costs less than a full sentence.
Is the design sheet really in the exact font?
+
Yes — unlike AI-only tools, the design sheet is rendered directly in the font you chose, pixel for pixel, on a clean white background. AI models have never seen font names, so asking one for “Allura” is a lottery; drawing the real font is exact. The sheet is free to download — it is what you would hand an artist as a reference.
How does “See it on skin” work?
+
Your design sheet is sent to our image model as a reference image, and it photographs those exact letterforms as a healed tattoo on skin — grounded in the real font rather than a guess. It uses one credit from your free account and the result is saved to your gallery.
