Please, Sculpt, Quote

While not often spoken aloud (except when the adage is broken), it’s said that if you are going to have letter work done as part of a tattoo, you need someone who can spell. Having “No Regets” tattooed in large calligraphic lettering across your chest does not attract compliments.

The same is true for sculpture. When a monument is sculpted and a motto or quote is carved into the base, it’s vital that the spelling be correct. It doesn’t please the public when someone’s “Famus Last Werds” are carved in stone.
