A tattoo lettering design reading "HOLD FAST" in black Old English blackletter capitals stacked on two lines. The widely spaced letters have sharp angular strokes and curled terminals, with HOLD above FAST on an off-white ground. Swap in your own motto and keep the same blackletter for a bold tattoo stencil.

A tattoo lettering reference sheet on a plain flat warm off-white paper ground, nothing else on the sheet. Two horizontal rows of four large, separate Old English blackletter capital letters, one row per hand. Top row, left to right: "H" "O" "L" "D". Bottom row, left to right: "F" "A" "S" "T". Render only these eight letters and no other text, numbers, symbols or labels. Each letter is a single standalone capital of equal height, with a generous gap between neighbours so none touch. Chicano Old English construction: heavy, dense vertical strokes with strong thick-to-thin contrast, diamond and spear-point terminals, sharp angular breaks and softly rounded arches. Skip the fine hairline flourishes, and keep all counters and interior gaps wide open. Every stroke is bold enough to survive as a knuckle tattoo at small size. Solid glossy jet-black ink with crisp, clean, sharply cut edges and a very faint soft grey shadow beneath each letter. Both rows are centred and aligned on a common baseline and spacing. Each row spans about 70% of the canvas width, with a wide empty margin on all sides and a clear gap between the rows. Flat, even, front-on view with no perspective, no hands, no skin and no decoration, so a tattoo artist can trace each letter directly.
