Tattoo lettering of the surname "O'Connor" in heavy Old English blackletter, set in glossy black ink on cream paper. Sharp diamond-pointed terminals, a decorative O and C with inner hairlines, a raised highlight and a faint soft shadow lift it off the page. Swap in your own name, the ink colour or the paper.

A tattoo lettering reference sheet showing the single word "O'Connor" in bold Chicano Old English blackletter, set on a flat, even, warm off-white paper ground with a faint grey drop-shadow under the letters. The name runs as one straight horizontal line, centred, spanning about 84% of the canvas width with clear margins on every side. Spell it exactly: capital O, a straight apostrophe, capital C, then lowercase o n n o r. The letterforms are heavy and dense, with thick vertical stems and strong thick-to-thin contrast from a broad-nib pen. Strokes have crisp diamond and spear-point terminals and sharp angular breaks, and the arches are softly rounded. The capital O and capital C are noticeably larger and more ornate than the compact lowercase, with a few bold spurs and one or two thick swelling curls. The capitals carry no hairline flourishes finer than the main strokes. The apostrophe is a clear, bold diamond-wedge mark. Keep generous open gaps between letters, and keep the counters of the o and n shapes open and wide enough to survive as a tattoo, so no letters blur together. Fill the letters with solid glossy jet-black ink with a subtle wet sheen and perfectly clean edges. There is no gradient, texture, background ornament, extra text, symbols or border. Show only the lettering, with plenty of empty space around it so more can be added later.
