Lettering & Script Tattoo Amsterdam

About this style

Lettering can be delicate handwritten script, bold typography, personal handwriting or fully custom. Size, spacing and line weight matter, especially when the client wants very small text.

01

Getting the text right

Send the exact wording, including punctuation and language, and check it twice. We also double-check spelling with you before the stencil goes on.

Personal handwriting can be traced from a clear scan or photo on plain paper; the sharper the original, the better the result.

02

Size, spacing and ageing

Letters that are too small close up as the ink settles. We advise a minimum height per style so the text stays readable for years.

Placement matters: inner arms and forearms hold script well, while fingers and hands are the hardest placements for fine text.

From idea to design

Made for your body, not copied from a screen.

We translate references into an original composition, balancing linework, detail and contrast with size and placement.
