Frequently asked questions

Q1Is it free?
Yes — typing, previewing, copying the text, and downloading a transparent PNG or screen-size SVG are free, with no sign-up. Print-ready exports (true-size SVG, stencil outline) use prepaid credits — one credit per file.
Q2Can I tattoo this directly?
No. The preview is a font rendering, not a stencil file. Your artist will redraw or stencil the lettering at real size. That's why we offer true-size and stencil exports.
Q3What's the difference between the copied text and the image?
The copied text is Unicode characters — perfect for bios and messages. The PNG/SVG is an image of the styled lettering — that's what you bring to your artist.
Q4What should I bring my tattoo artist?
A transparent PNG or true-size SVG of your chosen style, plus a screenshot of 2-3 styles you like. Your artist handles the final stencil.
Q5Will the tattoo look exactly like the preview?
Close, but not identical. Skin, size, and placement change how lettering reads. Fine lines spread slightly over time — ask your artist what holds up.
Q6Can I use the styles commercially?
The exports are for personal use. Some displayed fonts allow commercial use and some don't — check the license noted on each style before commercial use.
Q7Do I need an account?
Free features need no account. A free account (email only) unlocks one free print-ready export and credit packs.
Q8Which styles are popular for names?
Cursive and Chicano script are the most common picks for names; Old English is the classic for bold single words.
