Tattoo Fonts

Nothing beats being able to freehand and create these letters off the top of your head. Learning letter form, albeit moderately ornate, is a wonderful tool.

It's also useful to use fonts. So here is a list of visual samples and links to download sources. (some of these are free, others are not)

this is cool, but I can't seem to download any of them desently, I just get the letters really really small, can't set them appart and I deffenitly can't use them as a font...too bad, 'cause there are some really cool fonts on that page!

I'm not sure the problem you're running into... did you follow the links? On the Dafont.com page, click to the right - where it says "Download to PC/Mac OSX". That should do it.

The images here are just samples, and low resolution at that.

David,

Hey that's great that you have these fonts up. Just a question, do you know you don't have an 'M' in any of the main sets?

Why no 'M'? seems strange not to have one...
