Script & Lettering hummingbird tattoo
Joy at 50 wingbeats per second. The hummingbird is watercolor's signature subject — motion, colour and lightness in a small, placement-friendly package. 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 hummingbird carries joy, lightness of being, resilience — and Script & Lettering's typography give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the shoulder, wrist, ribs.
