Chances are you’ve seen Em Scott’s work online, her tattoo lettering is a beautiful mix of fine lines with rich curves, most of which she freehands, depending on the location and her mood. Tattooing for 13 years, the LA native is inspired by the city she loves and calls home, you can see it in her gorgeous work. From smile now/cry later faces, roses, cherubs, and delicate butterflies - her black and grey aesthetic depicts her love and appreciation of the Chicano and Lowrider culture. Em has been drawing since she could hold a pencil, “I have photos of me drawing lettering as young as 6 years old. I always have enjoyed drawing and making up my own letters and fonts.” She apprenticed under Kevin Hinton thirteen years ago in Venice beach. A few years later, she worked at Under The Gun Tattoo in LA, she worked there the longest in her tattoo career thus far. She had the opportunity to work at Ten Thousand Waves Tattoo for a few years, and has traveled all over Europe doing guest spots and tattoo conventions. Em currently works in a private studio in the city of angels.
