Script & Lettering rose tattoo
The most tattooed flower in history: love with thorns. A rose anchors traditional pieces, softens skulls and clocks, and stands alone at any size. 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 rose carries love, beauty with defence, balance of joy and pain — and Script & Lettering's typography give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the forearm, hand, shoulder.
