How do I do tattoo lettering in Procreate?

Start from a grid: set your baseline, x-height, cap height and descender before you draw a single letter. Build the word at a single weight first, check the spacing by flipping the canvas horizontally, then add weight, shadow and flourishes. The lettering grids in this collection and the free grids in the gallery are made for exactly that workflow.

Which Procreate brush is best for chicano script?

A pressure-sensitive brush with a fine, even taper — chicano script relies on single-weight lines with controlled thick-thin transitions rather than a chisel edge. Blackletter is the opposite and needs a chisel-edge brush.

Can I use these for paid client tattoos?

Yes. Every Inkbundles purchase includes a commercial licence that covers personal tattooing and paid client work. Resale, redistribution and use as AI training data are not permitted.

How are the files delivered?

Lettering

Tattoo Lettering brushes & references.

Lettering is the most unforgiving thing you can tattoo: every spacing error is permanent and public. This collection gives you the two things that fix that — correct letterforms and correct construction guides. Full alphabets in chicano script, blackletter and traditional banner styles, plus the grids that keep baseline, x-height, cap height and descender consistent across a whole word.

The lettering brushes are shaped for the strokes each style needs: a chisel-edge brush for blackletter, a pressure-sensitive script brush for chicano single-weight lines, and shading brushes for drop shadow and depth.

Free lettering and circle grids are also available in the studio gallery.
