Script Lettering Tattoos

Japanese tattoos, often referred to as irezumi, are one of the most respected and technically demanding tattoo styles in the world. At Bad Fun Company, Japanese tattoos are approached with patience, planning, and a deep respect for the history behind the art form. Clients from Youngsville, Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Wake Forest, Apex, and across the Raleigh Triangle Area come here for Japanese tattoos that are cohesive, intentional, and built to last. This style is known for large-scale designs, flowing backgrounds, and powerful imagery such as dragons, koi, tigers, snakes, masks, waves, wind bars, flowers, and mythological figures. Every element has meaning and purpose, and the composition is designed to move naturally with the body. Japanese tattoos are not just individual images placed on skin. They are complete compositions that consider anatomy, balance, and long-term wear. Script lettering tattoos are one of the most personal forms of tattooing. Names, dates, quotes, memorial pieces, and meaningful phrases deserve more than rushed handwriting or trendy fonts that will not age well. At Bad Fun Company, script lettering tattoos are approached with precision, balance, and long-term clarity in mind. Clients from Youngsville, Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Wake Forest, Apex, and throughout the Raleigh Triangle Area come here for lettering tattoos that are clean, intentional, and built to last. Script tattoos rely heavily on spacing, line weight, and flow. Even the smallest inconsistency can affect readability over time. That is why every script lettering tattoo starts with careful font selection and layout planning. Whether the style is cursive, handwritten, calligraphy-inspired, or clean script with a modern edge, each design is adjusted to fit the body naturally. Placement is just as important as the lettering itself, ensuring the tattoo moves with the skin rather than fighting against it. Bad Fun Company creates script lettering tattoos in a variety of styles, from fine line minimalist text to bold script with strong presence. Black ink is most commonly used for longevity, but shading and subtle flourishes can be added when appropriate. These tattoos can stand alone or be incorporated into larger pieces, including memorial tattoos, symbolic designs, and custom compositions. The focus is always on legibility, balance, and emotional significance.
