Planning a script tattoo in Bangkok? Start with the exact wording, a readable lettering style and enough space for the design. Share these details with your artist, together with your Bangkok travel dates, before arranging an appointment.
Whether it’s a name, a short quote or someone’s handwriting, these choices help your artist understand the lettering you want.
Start with the words
Write out the exact text you want, including capitals, punctuation and dates. Read it again without looking at your reference to check that it says what you intend.
For another language, have a fluent speaker check the wording and meaning. Don’t rely on an automatic translation alone.
Choose script tattoo fonts or personal handwriting
Simple lettering, flowing cursive and personal handwriting give the same words very different personalities.
Bring two or three references and explain what you like about each. If you want to use someone’s handwriting, bring a clear photo or scan of the original note. Browse our script tattoo examples for inspiration.
Check script tattoo size and placement
A font that looks good enlarged on a screen may be difficult to read at your preferred tattoo size. Ask your artist to discuss letter spacing, line thickness and whether the wording needs more room.
For a longer phrase, compare a single line with a layout split across two or three lines.
Review your stencil before tattooing
When reviewing the stencil, check it in a mirror and from your own viewing angle. Think about which way you want the words to face, and check every letter before approving the design.
