Ornamental Lettering. A concept that helps lettering styles become more deeply integrated into the anatomy of the body. My name is Sergey Murdoc, and I have been doing tattoos for 22 years. For the last 12 years, I have dedicated myself to writing letters in different styles, inspired by the experiences of eras and cultures. Since 2013, I have been obsessed with the idea of entering more into the structure of the body and making letters resemble an exoskeleton. By the end of 2015, an analysis of the changing letter symbols in the history of calligraphy and a look at the ornamental tattoos of the past allowed me to finally form principles to achieve my goal.
