Tattoo limitations

[Clio]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew what the size limitation is (in terms of # of characters) for tattoos? I have been to the tattoo shop but the vendor there does not tell you the length restrictions, and I imagine that there must be some limit.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Hey, I once saw someone's tattoo which was broken up over several lines. Any idea how to do that?

e.g.

Yes, and it's not pretty. You have to force word wrap (so the first word of the second line won't fit on the first line).

Ok I'll bite... how do you force word wrap?

Make the first word of line 2 long enough so that it can't fit on line one.
