Forgotten Tattoo is a conceptual, typography-focused zine that explores the weight of human regret—those deep, personal moments often kept hidden beneath the surface. In contrast to mainstream publishing, this zine embraces the raw, unfiltered voice of niche communities, offering readers a sense of inclusion and belonging through shared vulnerability.
At the heart of this project is Trick, a custom typeface inspired by the visual illusions of the Op Art movement. Designed exclusively for the zine, Trick distorts perception with bold, graphic patterns that echo the emotional complexity of the stories within. Based on the typeface Padaloma, Trick was reimagined with custom textures and optical patterns to reflect the tension between memory and distortion—just like the way regret can shift and warp over time.
Forgotten Tattoo is not just a zine—it’s a visual experiment in how typography can capture emotion, disorientation, and the lasting imprint of things we wish we could change.
