A traditional tattoo design with the name "ISABELLA" on a cream ribbon across a red heart pierced by a dagger, with a red rose beside it. The black slab-serif capitals sit on a curling banner with swallowtail ends over the heart, with a gold-hilted dagger dripping blood, green leaves and small gold sparkles on white. Replace the name and change the flower or colours to make your own name tattoo.

rendered in Tattoo Banner lettering: the words lettered across one curling ribbon scroll banner in classic American traditional tattoo flash style. BANNER: a single long horizontal ribbon that gently waves; its middle section faces the viewer and holds the words, and each end folds back behind it and finishes in a forked swallowtail tail. The ribbon is drawn with a heavy, even black tattoo outline, filled with one flat light colour, with solid black where the ribbon turns behind itself and two or three thin black curved lines at each fold. The banner is just long enough for the words with a little margin at each end; longer text makes the banner longer, never a second banner. LETTERING: bold upright capitals with small wedge serifs in solid black, centred on the band and following its gentle curve, every letter fully inside the ribbon, evenly spaced and easy to read. SURFACE: flat opaque ink and clean closed black linework, no gradient, no satin sheen, no 3D render. Like the MOM and TRUE LOVE banners on old-school tattoo flash: bold, sentimental, hand-inked. the classic American traditional flash people hang on a tattoo studio wall, frame as an art print or stick on a laptop. GRAPHIC LANGUAGE: bold flat icons from the classic sailor-era repertoire - swallows, red roses with green leaves, anchors, daggers through hearts, panther heads, eagles, nautical stars, ships, skulls and horseshoes - every shape closed by a heavy, even black outline with solid black shading along one side; small four-point sparkles, dots and short radiating lines fill the gaps between shapes; ribbon banners carry the words. LAYOUT: either one self-contained emblem with the words worked into it, or a flash sheet of several separate small designs spaced out across one page. LIGHT: no scene lighting - a flat hand-painted, printed graphic, evenly lit like paper in daylight. COLOUR: a limited flash palette of black, red, mustard yellow and leaf green with a little sky blue, laid in as solid flat fills. TEXTURE: aged cream or manila paper with faint watercolour unevenness inside the fills, or clean white for a single design. TIERS: the flash sheet tier is a wall-ready sheet or poster on aged paper with several designs; the single design tier is one bold emblem on white or a plain colour, for stickers, tees and tattoo designs. LETTERFORM COLOR PRIORITY: if the selected font defines its own letterform colour or material, that takes absolute priority; the red, yellow and black of the flash palette colour the letters only when the font does not specify. ATMOSPHERE: the black outlines, the flat red, yellow and green fills, the sparkles and the classic flash motifs always appear around the words regardless of letterform colour. When no specific material is defined by the font: default lighting - flat, even daylight on paper, no glow and no cast shadows, on aged cream paper or clean white. A tattoo flash design on white: a red heart pierced by a dagger, a rose at its side, a ribbon banner across the heart reading 'Isabella'.
