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 shark carries protection (polynesian), fearlessness, forward motion — and Script & Lettering's typography give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the calf, upper arm / bicep, ribs.
