About Chicano Tattoo Lettering
Chicano tattoo lettering is a culturally significant and technically demanding style that grew from Mexican-American communities in the American Southwest. Lobster captures some of the looping, connected script character associated with chicano lettering, including swashes and decorative terminals. The style blends old-style printing script with fine-line detail work and often incorporates shading and flourishes, so it benefits from an artist who has strong lettering experience.
