Script & Lettering clock tattoo
Time made personal — usually set to a moment that mattered: a birth, a loss, a turning point. Clocks anchor black-and-grey realism's most emotional pieces. In Script & Lettering, that reads as: words that wear well.

Names, dates, quotes and single words — the most personal tattoos there are. Great lettering is typography first: spacing, flow and letterform quality decide whether a script piece looks custom or clip-art. Our lettering designs are generated as compositions, not fonts.
A clock carries a moment preserved, mortality, patience — and Script & Lettering's typography give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the forearm, upper arm / bicep, chest.
