Lettering tattoo check: Spacing, fonts & legibility

Small letters blur quickly under the skin. Check font loops, cursive links, and tracking margins before your session.

Safe linework guidelines

Every style has unique rules. Make sure your reference blueprint stencil matches these baseline limits:

  • Spacing: Keep a minimum 1.5mm gap clearance between any adjacent parallel outlines.
  • Skin Breaks: Ensure solid fillings have blank skin windows to breathe and retain high contrast.
  • Outline weight: Delicate fine-lines must still hold enough pigment depth to prevent fading.
