CONTENTLettering
The Traveling Lettering Guide is BJ Betts' compact handbook of tattoo lettering, drawn from years of working out letterforms on paper and on skin. At 7.5" x 5.5" with a spiral binding, it is small enough to throw in a bag and lies flat when you need it at the station.
The 80 pages are packed with full alphabets, numbers, layout ideas, name ribbons and flourishes, plus close looks at details like dotting an "i" or working through variations of a single letter such as the S. It is less a font catalog than a guide to how good hand lettering is built, so you can adapt it rather than just copy it.
For street shop tattooers, lettering requests come in every day, and this tattoo lettering book gives you a reliable reference that goes wherever you work. Apprentices will find it a clear way to learn structure and spacing, and experienced artists will use it to keep their script sharp.
