Script & Lettering dragon tattoo
East or West, the dragon is power incarnate. Japanese dragons flow with the body over full sleeves; Western dragons bring medieval menace to backs and chests. 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 dragon carries power & wisdom, protection, good fortune (east) — and Script & Lettering's typography give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the full sleeve, back, ribs.
