Script & Lettering lotus tattoo
The flower that grows from mud into perfection — enlightenment's favourite metaphor. The lotus's symmetry suits sternum, spine and ornamental treatments. 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 lotus carries rising from difficulty, purity, enlightenment — and Script & Lettering's typography give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the sternum, spine, ankle.
