Hello guys, i was looking into getting my first tattoo,

and i want the words

“every act which has no heart will be found out in the end. every gesture”

From my all time favouritebook, cities of the plains by Cormac Mccarthy.

And i wanted it on my wrist in three lines going across, but want a quite small size and id heard that small font is likely to blend and end up looking like a blob.

I was thinking around size 19 font for Kunstler Script on MS word.

Any advice would be awesome.

Thanks alot!!!!

I don’t know a lot of artists who would be pumped on tattooing a teeny tiny font on your wrist.
It’s true that tattoos tend to settle with age and will fuzz out slightly. This requires fine detail in tattoos to be applied large enough that they will still be readable after 1, 5, 10, 50 years. The amount of letters you’re wanting on an area as small as your wrist just won’t age very well, truth be told.

Maybe consider having your tattoo done lengthwise down your forearm to ensure that none of the letters get lost with age?
