Memorial lettering "RIP Marcus" in heavy black blackletter with the years "2001 – 2023" below and a short diamond-ended rule, on cream. Wide Fraktur-style capitals with sharp diamond terminals sit above lighter blackletter numerals, centred on a plain off-white ground. Swap in your own name and years, or add a skin or stone carrier.

A tattoo lettering reference sheet on a plain warm off-white paper ground, flat and evenly lit with no shadows, no texture and no skin. Centered on one vertical axis, the main line reads exactly "RIP Marcus" in bold Old English blackletter (Textura style): thick broad-nib diagonal stems cut at a 45-degree angle, diamond-shaped feet, sharp hairline finials, ornate pointed capitals for R, I, P and M. Letters are heavy and solid pure black ink, with generous open gaps between every letter and wide counters so nothing clogs or blurs at small tattoo size. Hairline strokes are kept thick enough to survive on skin. The line fills about 78% of the canvas width, with RIP slightly smaller and set apart by a clear word space. Beneath it, centered, the second line reads exactly "2001 – 2023" in the same blackletter, about 35% of the canvas width, with an en dash between the years, clear spacing between the digits, and the same solid black ink. Between the two lines is a clean gap of about one lowercase letter height. A single thin black rule with small diamond ends sits under the date, centred and short. Style: flat black stencil linework, crisp clean edges, no gradients, no shading, no glow, no gray tones, no ornaments other than the rule. Nothing else on the sheet: no teardrops, no dots, no extra symbols. Generous empty margin around all text, at least 10% on every side.
