Illustrative quote & script tattoo
Words you need within reach: a lyric, a parent's handwriting, a line that got you through. Typography quality decides everything — spacing, flow and letterform. In Illustrative, that reads as: storybook ink.

The middle ground between traditional and realism: drawn rather than photographed, with linework carrying the form and shading adding mood. Illustrative is the most flexible style in tattooing — it absorbs botanical, animal, narrative and abstract subjects equally well.
A quote & script carries a guiding principle, a voice remembered, identity — and Illustrative's drawn quality give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the forearm, ribs, spine.
