The name "Mateo" in large black Chicano script above the date "03.22.2018" in blackletter numerals, set as tattoo lettering on cream paper. Sharp blackletter-style capital M and flowing lowercase with long swashes, soft grey shadow, inky grain, and a row of small stacked dotted numbers under the name. Swap in your own name and date, or change the ink colour.

A tattoo lettering reference sheet, laid flat and viewed straight on, on smooth warm cream paper with a very faint grain and soft warm raking light. The word "Mateo" is hand-lettered in authentic Chicano script, spanning about 85% of the canvas width and rising on a gentle upward arc to suit a chest placement. The letterforms are a thick-thin calligraphic script with a forward lean. Swelling black downstrokes meet fine hairline connectors. A capital M opens with a long, controlled, whipping swash entry stroke that curls in from the left, and the final o exits in a long tapering tail that sweeps under the word. Sharp spur serifs and pointed terminals give a blackletter edge, with a slight blackletter bone structure in the capital M. This is not plain cursive and not plain Old English. Every stroke is bold and every gap between letters is open and generous. Counters stay clear, nothing touches or blurs together, and the flourishes never knot, so the lettering would hold up on skin. Directly beneath, centered, sits the date "03.22.2018" at about 30% of the canvas width. It is set in crisp blackletter-tinged numerals with diamond-point terminals and clear spacing, with round dot separators. The ink is rich glossy jet black with a subtle wet sheen, laid down with sign-painter precision. A faint soft grey drop-shadow and a light grey tonal shading inside the thick strokes suggest black-and-grey tattoo depth. Strictly black, grey and cream. No colour fills, no other text, no symbols, no borders, and no decorative icons. Wide clean margins on every side.
