How Big Should Tattoo Lettering Be?
Thin script needs more room than bold letters, because fine lines spread a little as a tattoo ages. As a rough guide, script letters should be at least about 1 cm tall, and bolder styles about half that. The generator warns you when your words get too small. Your artist has the final say.

Tattoo Lettering Questions
Fonts, downloads, and what to bring to your artist

No. This tool renders your text with real fonts in your browser. It preserves your spelling, capitalization and line breaks. Long lines shrink to fit the image. Any later AI placement preview can alter details, so always compare it with your original lettering.
Choose Print at real size. The sheet prints your lettering at the width you set, with your exact text spaced out for checking, the font name and size, and a scale bar to confirm the printer did not shrink it. Cut it out, hold it against the spot, and bring it to your consultation. For a photo preview on your own body, use AI Tattoo Try-On.
Not here. These fonts cover Latin letters with accents, numbers and punctuation. Lettering in another writing system is mostly a translation question: a wrong character is permanent, so have a fluent speaker and an artist who knows that script check it. For a loved one's signature or handwriting, bring the original to your artist; a font cannot reproduce it.
Use it as a lettering reference. A tattoo artist should adapt stroke weight, spacing and scale to the placement and prepare the final stencil. Delicate script and dense blackletter may need adjustment to remain readable at your intended size.
