Script or lettering tattoos are tattoos that feature text and are a great way to creatively wear a word, message, name or even song lyric that holds meaning for you. We specialise in script tattoos at Outliers Ink. Creating custom script tattoos that can cover large areas of the body or if you prefer discrete tattoos, we can create a fine line piece of text for you. We can tattoo any font or create a custom font for you. We also have many clients who want handwriting tattoos, so that they can remember a deceased relative or friend. In this instance we are able to perfectly copy text written in a card or on a note and tattoo it onto you helping you to keep them with you wherever you go. If a script tattoo is what you want you have found one of the best tattoo artists in Birmingham. This is one of our lead tattoo artists and co-founder, Sheine’s specialities.
When it comes to fine line text and script tattoos, we are often asked, do fine line tattoos last? What will they look like over time? And do fine line tattoos blur or fade? There is a lot of conflicting information on the subject but don’t worry you can find the answers to your questions below. However, the two most important things for you to consider when getting a fine line tattoo are the experience of your artist and whether or not you will look after the tattoo.
Like all tattoos, aftercare is just as fundamental as your artist’s technique. All tattoos over time can fade slightly if exposed to a lot of sun, and if you don’t have a good skin care routine. Fine line tattoos do require you to be extra careful during the healing process. Now, we’ve got you 100% covered on both fronts that we are responsible for. We have our own tattoo butter formulated for us by us, ensuring the longevity and optimum healing conditions for your new tattoo.
After your new tattoo has been completed your artist will provide you with our full aftercare instructions. Please follow these to prevent infection and ensure your tattoo heals perfectly. Have you tried our tattoo butter? 100% natural, made by us, for us. Pick one up in store or purchase one online.

Our lead tattoo artist and co-founder Sheine specialises in recreating your loved ones messages as tattoos on your skin. And is honoured to be trusted with creating a piece that will carry so much meaning. Get in touch and we can arrange your appointment at our Birmingham tattoo studio.
We are very experienced in tattooing different languages and capturing the unique styles of them. We don’t speak every language going though and we have all met someone with text that says something very different to what they thought when they got it. So the final responsibility of making sure the text is correct lies with the client.
If you get a fine line script tattoo at Outliers Ink then no, the tattoo will not blow out. This is down to poor application. And pain is subjective, most of our clients fall asleep and it is dependent on your own personal pain threshold, but for the most part we don’t find that fine line tattoos are more painful than any other tattoo style and they bleed less dues to them being less traumatic.
This again is subjective but you are paying for the artist’s skill. Not all tattoo artists can do fine line script tattoos successfully as they tend to be small, and minimalist, therefore the lines need to be precise and delicate for the tattoos to heal well. And not all tattoo artists are equal.
Absolutely and this question deserves its own section WE HAVE GOT YOU COVERED. When we talk about inclusivity this is exactly one of the key points that we know is sadly still massively underrepresented in the tattoo industry.
We are experts in tattooing all skin tones: black and brown skin in all shades. We constantly have clients who come to us who were told that the tattoo they wanted couldn’t be done on their skin tone. This includes colour tattoos on black skin. The thing is, your skin tone is not the issue, the artist’s skill set is. Like hair shops we believe you should be able to walk into a tattoo shop in Birmingham and receive the best work not just locally but in the country regardless of your age or skin tone.
So we created Outliers Ink, a tattoo and piercing studio that is the place for everyone to get their dream tattoo without worrying whether they will be told their skin will be an issue. Leave it to us. The home of the best Birmingham tattoo artists. Have you booked yours yet?
