My first tattoo guys

DA365

Getting this text on my arm(location as below) and can't decide which font to use - think im gonna go with the second one - what do you guys think?

Question is, im in Sandyford - and would love recommendations from everyone as to which tattoo shop in the dublin area would do a good job

dysfunktional

remis in prime tattoo has savage work ( http://www.remistattoo.com/ ),but its only text so any shop would do a good job,and they will have loads of differnt fonts in there.

truthinwords

Tommy in Classic Ink does probably the nicest script in Dublin, Rob in Colourworks does nice script too. Doesn't seem like a lot of script for it to go from your elbow down onto your hand the letters are going to be huge on your arm and then they'll have to get much smaller to fit on the side of your hand, so it could look a little odd.

stupid tattoo!

Not very constructive criticism there. I think it looks good.

empirix - one and only warning. next time you decide to grace us with your posting, it better be more in tune with the forum's guidelines and a lot more polite.

Lord Nikon

number 3 font looks good, or Courier New font.

Get over yourself ffs.

i don't know if you intend to start the script on the side of the hand like that (its very trendy right now....) but

LOOK AT THE STATE OF JUST THE BIT ON THE SIDE OF THE HAND.

its a beautiful example of what i spend all day every day trying to explain to the I-Don't-Just-Want-It-Cause-Cheryl-Cole-Has-It Brigade. It just won't work there. and all the touch ups in the world will just make it worse/scarred in the long run.

don't do it.

Will

Yeah I'd take hot2def's advice and not get it on the side of your hand.

Also empirix banned for a week month for being a muppet.

I have been looking at memorial tat’s over the past few weeks , there is some really good work out there that might give you an idea of something that will look a lot better than just text ,not that there is anything wrong with just text it’s just if the religious aspect means that much to you there is a hole lot of options that could incorporate that bit (it ‘s always nice to know your options) , personally when it comes to script I like some thing that is easily read fancy stuff looks nice but isn’t always easy to read
