  1. Font help please...ugly font

    I'm having difficulty finding something close since it's so outdated. "Calligraphy" type font right? This looks like it was hand painted, not computer generated. No cursive, has to be printed like shown. Wasn't there a font in the 80-90's similar to this? I can't find it or remember the name...

  7. Red Alumalite

    The sign I need to create has a red background and just the word "tattoo" in white on it 4'x8'.
