LetterWest 2026 - Jessie Nucifora - Pike Lettering Tattoo Flash Workshop

Pike Lettering Tattoo Flash Workshop with Jessie Nucifora

In this focused lettering workshop, you'll learn how to draw pike lettering, traditional Old English, and a clean, monoline script designed specifically for the classic walk-in style tattoo studio. We'll cover how to effectively compose this lettering within banners and within borders of a flash sheet. You’ll also get a hands-on look at how to incorporate “spitshading” to bring depth and character to your work. Whether you're a professional tattooer, an apprentice, or a dedicated collector, this workshop will help you expand your creative skill set.
