Script & Lettering owl tattoo
Wisdom that hunts at night. The owl's face is a natural mandala — symmetric, hypnotic, and spectacular in neo-traditional and dotwork 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 owl carries wisdom, seeing through darkness, guardianship — and Script & Lettering's typography give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the chest, forearm, thigh.
