Style guide
Blackletter demands strict diamond-head entry and exit strokes — avoid rounded terminals to preserve Fraktur authenticity. Scale generously: the tight internal counters inside each glyph need room, or they fill with ink over the years.
Studio tip:Print the design at 20% larger than your target placement to judge stroke density before your appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about blackletter tattoo lettering.
Blackletter's thick strokes retain shape well, but narrow internal counters can close up over 5–7 years. Ask your artist to open those counters slightly wider than what you see on screen.
