These live type specimens are style references, not AI-generated results or downloadable tattoo designs. Prepare your chosen lettering as an image before uploading. This tool converts images; it does not typeset text or guarantee exact letter preservation.
LOYAL
Gothic-inspired
Dense strokes need breathing room. Review enclosed spaces at your intended size.
STAY TRUE
Bold serif
Compare small serifs with the source so sharp details are not lost.
Amore

Flourishes can cross other letters. Make sure the word remains readable.
From lettering image to printable stencil
- 01
Prepare a clear source
Use dark lettering on a plain, light background. Crop away unrelated objects and keep the whole word visible.
- 02
Upload and compare
Choose an image model in the studio below. Check spelling, accents, punctuation and spacing against your original; retry if any character changes.
- 03
Download and check the scale
Generation uses credits according to the selected model. Review the output before downloading and print a paper proof at your intended size.
Check every letter before printing
- Compare names, dates and unfamiliar scripts character by character. Never rely on AI to translate or correct a tattoo.
- Check that counters, joins and thin strokes remain distinct. AI can change a letter even when the word looks similar.
- There is no universal minimum letter size. Ask your tattoo artist to assess the design, placement and line spacing.
- Confirm print dimensions and mirror direction with your artist or printer workflow before transferring.
Lettering stencil questions
Can I type a word directly?
This workflow accepts an image, not a text prompt. Arrange your lettering in a design app, export it as a supported image, and upload it to the studio.
Will AI keep the spelling exactly?
Exact spelling is not guaranteed. Compare every character with the source, particularly names, dates, accents and connected handwriting. Do not use an altered result.
Are these fonts included in the download?
No. The specimens illustrate visual styles. The tool processes your uploaded artwork and does not distribute fonts or font licenses. Use lettering you own or have permission to use.
Can I print the stencil at any size?
You can adjust print scale, but shrinking artwork can merge fine strokes. Print a paper proof and ask your artist to check readability and transfer requirements.
