Allen Tattoo Fonts - Compiled Dingbats
We always make a point to add our own take and spin into the final tattoo design. But this is my frequently requested images starting point. Dang, that's hard to say. Having been compiled over the last few months, it's ready for use. Freeware fonts were scoured, eyes ran tired, and I finally just created two fonts so I can use it easily.
Hopefully, I won't get in trouble for aggregating these together... so, um, feel free to contact me if there are any problems with usage.
Of note: I picked based on quality of image, accuracy when enlarged, and how the image will transfer into a tattoo.
DOWNLOAD the Font Compilation (70kb) - ZIP, 2 TTF files for PC
PDF Font Reference (140K) - Two pages of font letter references for print

How do I install these fonts in Windows? Well, unzip them, then go here.

Quick Outline Tip
Some of these are already outlines. Some are not. For those that are not, It may seem obvious, but all I do is type the letter in Photoshop, enlarge it, then I change its color to white - the same color of the paper. This effectively hides it so we'll be able to see our upcoming outline.
Now, make sure the layer is selected in the Layers palette; it needs to be dark blue (if its not, just click it). Then, use the top menu: Layer > Layer Style > Stroke. Then I mess with the options: size= around 5 pixels, position is usually "inside", and color=black. Hit OK and enjoy your outline.
