I’m Haesol, a Seoul tattoo artist of ten years. Lettering is about font choice and clean linework — a thin, well-balanced script stays legible and crisp for years. It’s a calm first tattoo and a precise way to carry a phrase, a date or coordinates. Custom-set to your wording. By appointment; booking via Instagram @tattooist_haesol.
International visitors: full English consultation available at onsil.ink.
With lettering the typeface is half the work. A short phrase wants a font that fits its weight and meaning; I set thickness and balance per character so each letter holds rather than thickening into a blur over time.
Clean linework is what makes script last. Done thin and precise it stays sharp years on — which is why I keep it restrained rather than over-styled.
Common briefs: a short quote on the inner arm, a Latin line, latitude–longitude coordinates of a place that matters. It’s an easy first tattoo — low-impact on daily life, high on meaning — and I’ll guide font and placement honestly.
FAQ
Is lettering a good first tattoo?
Yes — it’s low-impact and meaningful. A short, clean script is one of the calmest ways to start; I’ll help with font and size so it ages well.
Will fine script blur over years?
Not if the linework is thin, precise and well-spaced. Restraint is what keeps it legible long-term — I won’t overcrowd a small piece.
