Lettering and tattooing are two art forms that often come together as one. The first helps you express yourself with an elegant and visually striking design, while the second transforms it into an unerasable memory. Join tattoo artist Delia Vico and learn how to ink your letters directly on skin following body contour and volume.

Delia has nearly two decades of experience in tattooing and specializes in cursive lettering and calligraphy. In this course, she teaches how to form single letters, compose words, and precisely draw them on skin to create a unique, balanced tattoo.
Bring your message to life and create a composition that leaves its mark.

Description

Discover the techniques to create freehand lettering in cursive and learn how to tattoo it on different parts of the body

Meet your teacher, Delia Vico, and hear about her journey to becoming a professional tattoo artist and what led her to specialize in lettering and calligraphy. See some of her biggest influences and the artists that inspire her work.

Begin with an overview of the final project and see the materials you need for working on both paper and skin. Then, learn the basics of freehand lettering and start practicing with a grid to create a stylish, legible, and balanced composition.

Now it's time to think about ink. Delia explains important hygiene measures and shows you how to set up your workstation and choose the right needle based on your design.

Delve into human anatomy and study different body parts to understand how to properly position a tattoo for the best results. Choose an area for your tattoo and draw some guidelines paying close attention to dimensions and volume.

Once you've drawn your design on the skin, start going over it with needle and ink following Delia's expert advice. With the letters in place, enhance your composition by adding simple yet eye-catching effects.

Delia wraps up the course by explaining essential tattoo aftercare practices to ensure your work stays looking like new throughout the years.
