Script/Text Tattoos

About Script/Text Tattoos

Script and text tattoos turn words into permanent art — a name, a date, a quote, a phrase. Among the most personal choices there is, but because text is so direct, getting it right takes real care.

• Styles range from flowing script to blackletter, modern type and a loved one's handwriting
• Legibility and beauty must coexist — it has to read clearly decades from now
• Choose a lettering specialist; poorly executed text is a very common regret
• Proofread relentlessly — spelling, grammar, dates, and any non-English text
• Placement suits the length — forearms, ribs, collarbones, spine, chest
