About this lesson
Covers designing script and lettering tattoos: choosing a typeface suited to fine-line work, keeping serifs clean and consistent at small sizes, laying out a stencil with even optical letter spacing and a level baseline on a curved body part, and planning stroke direction for rounded letterforms so the design reads well as a tattoo rather than just on paper.
