What is lettering and script tattooing?
Lettering and script covers text-based tattoos — names, quotes, dates and phrases — rendered in calligraphy, cursive script, gothic lettering or custom typography. Spacing, flow and legibility are everything.
Good lettering artists sweat the small details: line weight, letter spacing and how the text sits on the body so it stays readable as skin moves. Ask to see healed script to check how the lettering holds together over time.
