LupeTheWolf Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 So I have an all day session with my artist tomorrow, we're adding the bull to my leg and background so I figured we could do a small tattoo that I've wanted to get. I want to put Canis Lupus on my wrists, but there are SO many fonts out there. Can someone direct me to a good site for them or recommend some good ones? I want it to be legible but really fancy looking! Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5543-need-help-with-font/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougetheeyes Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Your tattooer will have infinitely better font references than the internet. Or at least, he should... If he reaches for the computer instead of one of the many lettering books out there, BJ Betts will appear like a genie and smack him in the face. trashpolkakid, CultExciter, tatB and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5543-need-help-with-font/#findComment-101335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trashpolkakid Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 custom script is the best. no internet font can compare to some hand drawn, nice, flowing script. theres plenty of books, i have one called the lettering guide. dont settle for some computer generated font.

LupeTheWolf Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 He said he would draw up a few scripts for me to choose from since I'm indecisive on exactly what I want but he asked me to look around too and if I find something I really like to bring it in!

polliwog Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (Re: the above, isn't this poster in her late teens, though? Late teens = peak years for Knowing Some Shit.) Maybe look at script/letting tattoos a bit more and wait a bit longer to get this tattoo? You have a lot of time to get tattooed! hogg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5543-need-help-with-font/#findComment-101368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and maybe I'm becoming a cranky old man well in advance of my years, but I think that when somebody is shown respect, a little bit of respect and politeness isn't too much to ask in return. daveborjes, hogg, misterJ and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5543-need-help-with-font/#findComment-101371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetling Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wrist scripts are soooooooooo awesome.:rolleyes: Instant regret, 3..2...1. I've got Latin script on my wrists and I don't regret it. It's been a little over a year, so if the regret ever comes, it certainly won't have been instant. As for fonts, I just Googled "cursive fonts" or "script fonts" and poured over hundreds of fonts over the course of several months before settling on one called "Lavanderia" (that's Spanish for "laundromat" - kind of makes me like my tattoo even more).
