Ways to write a name tattoo
Ways to write a name: with a date, initials, a heart or a birth flower.
One name
First names read best in script; family names read best big, in Old English or chicano lettering.
Several names
Two or three names fit on one line in a thin script, or stacked.
A name with a detail
A date, a heart or a birth flower adds meaning without crowding the name.
Initials
One or two initials stay readable even very small, on a finger or behind the ear.
