HunteR.S Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 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 know that zoro and ichigos panels are not very good for a tattoo as the lines would fade to make it look incoherent, this is something I already talked to my tattoo artist about and he will design it better by hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 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.

HunteR.S Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 @Hogrider got what you're saying, the quotes are important for me but i do agree with changing it to dodge mistakes and blowouts, so first of all, about finding the font, it is something that i spoke to my artist about, and he said that we would sit on it and find something that fits us both. And because I like to "do my homework" I am doing a bit of research beforehand secondly, took to attention about the problematic areas, so what if I do something like this? (attached a new design), this way I have some more room for manipulation of size and position , as well as avoiding those wrist and elbow ditches is this better?

Hogrider Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 The placement Looks better, but thin lines just don’t usually hold up long term. However, it’s your tattoo and you should get what you want as long as you understand the risks. Good luck, and please post it when it’s done!

oboogie Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Just a heads-up, man: It's still going to age badly. The font is too small, and it won't look clean in a couple of years. But you should get what you want ... just know that going in. Hogrider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
