Script advice
- Use a clear regular or semi-cursive Chinese font for stencil accuracy.
- Keep enough spacing so individual strokes do not close up over time.
Stencil checks
- Verify the stencil is not mirrored.
- Confirm vertical order before tattooing.
Readability: Forearm placement can work vertically or horizontally; keep the characters large enough for stroke clarity.
