Examples to try

Use a sample to compare shapes, then replace it with your own words.

What to look for

Use these checks while comparing the example and your own text. Your artist can refine the final design for skin and placement.

Verify every character

Check accents, apostrophes, and capitalization with the person whose name you are using. Read the stencil again before tattooing.

Compare three directions

A flowing script feels personal, blackletter feels forceful, and a simple serif feels restrained. Preview each with the same spelling.

Use the full name

A font that works for a four-letter sample may balance differently for a long first and last name.

How to use this tool

Will the tattoo match the image exactly?
