The type used on this poster is an Art Nouveau display type (circa 1910's), seeming to be influence by traditional German blackletter typefaces of the (circa 1500's. The ornate flourish-style ligature between the two "o's" blends well with the Art Nouveau frame, and the choice of a flourished blackletter reflects both the masculine connotation of tattoos as well as the feminine energy of the subject herself.
