Script & Lettering wave tattoo
Hokusai's legacy in miniature: the ocean's power in a curl of ink. Waves flow naturally around wrists and ankles and anchor Japanese compositions. 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 wave carries nature's power, going with the flow, the ocean as home — and Script & Lettering's typography give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the wrist, ankle, forearm.
Same idea, other voices
