Japanese font in tattoo design

By Hogrider · Posted Wednesday at 07:38 PM

I don't have any idea what font to use, but my suggestion would be to skip the font all together. Thin lines on thin skin can be prone to blowouts and you're looking at your wrist and elbow ditch - not a great place for that. If you absolutely must have the font, I'd ask your artist to find something - he's the one that will have to make it work.

Japanese font in tattoo design

By HunteR.S · Started Wednesday at 04:47 PM

Hi! So I’m planning to tattoo this design I made on my forearm(as in the attached image-about 18x6 cm) But something that I was wondering about was the font to use with the Japanese letters, as they are going to be quite small my tattoo artist advised me that we should find a font that’s less like brush strokes so my question is if somebody has an idea for a font which would fit the overall theme but will not fade badly and will be more easily tattooed Thanks P.S I kno3

How to design a tat?

By new2tats · Started March 22

I am fairly new to tattoos in general and am very new to trying to design one myself. First thing, I have zero artistic ability, I probably couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler! I have an idea what I want to have added to one of the few tattoos I do have, but I don't know how to adequately describe it to an tattoo artist, which will lead to them becoming frustrated and charging extra or me getting something I REALLY didn't want...forever. I assume I can always hire somebody to do it for3

solicitation of a minor to get a tattoo

By stuart damon · Started March 13

I have witnessed a tattoo artist soliciting business from a group of middle school age ( 11, 12, 13) children in the state of florida. I feel this is morally repugnant, but need to know if it is illegal, can that be prosecuted, or grounds for revocation of her license? 3

New tattoo darkness

By Argonauts · Started March 12

Hello I got a new tattoo it will be about 2 weeks tomorrow since I've gotten it. It still looks a bit dark for my liking. It's black and gray. Will it fade a bit more given more time or is what I see now what I will be getting in terms of color? 3
