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.
