Lately, at Silver Ant, we’ve been delighted to witness an increasing number of customers developing a more discerning appreciation for lettering styles—a facet often misconstrued by inexperienced nail technicians as “simple,” “overly simplistic,” “adorable,” “insignificant,” or worse, “something anyone can handle.”
Within our domain, we regard lettering as among the “most challenging” genres, even for seasoned artists with years of experience under their belt. “Inking on skin” surpasses the complexity of writing on paper by about 108 ᴛι̇ɱes, underscoring the need to avoid inexperienced practitioners toying with the canvas of your skin. A tattoo featuring words deɱaпds utmost precision as the innate readability of the text amplifies its visual impact. Hence, even the smallest error can quickly catch the eye, resulting in comments like “unsightly” or “ruined.”
Moreover, word tattoos often entail smaller sizes and shorter execution ᴛι̇ɱes, making it relatively easier to secure an appointment with a reputable artist or tattooist. We once had a customer express, “I’m just getting a few lines, a mere 2 or 3 lines of text—so, if it doesn’t turn out well, it’s not a big deal.” However, venturing onto this terrain is akin to navigating treacherous mountains, where one wrong step can have significant consequences.
At Silver Ant, we advocate for caution and precision in every stroke, recognizing the delicacy of word tattoos. We believe that every word etched on your skin deserves the touch of a skilled hand, ensuring not just an aesthetic appeal but also maintaining its inherent elegance and readability.
