@formula - what you see is a combination of 2 of the font styles to what I liked. I had to play with the kerning a bit since some spaces between words were very odd....
I looked at the scipt fonts on the site... overall I love them, but based on the rules my tattoo person gave me, they'll run together. While I wany something I love, I want something that won't look bad in 10 years (assuming I take care of it).... hence the one that it a bit more typographic.

i got my first tat 2 months ago, didn't get a type one in the end but looked at loads of typefaces initially. This is a nice option designed by Alejandro Paul especially for skin.

You should let the tattoo artist design the letters really.
Tattoo types are nice because of their irregularity, the handrawn feeling they have. Designing them on a computer is a mistake IMO.And if your tattooist can't draw this kind of things, then you'd better find another one.

lots to respond to...
original caligraphy - I loved it, but I can't open it up enough at the size I want to get it to work. The tattooer said within 2 years it would most likely be a blob. Even with this guys chest style...several letters will probably run together in the next few years.... which sucks.@monNom - I don't see a link to buy the font... I could try to piece it together by hand, but I like the typographic cleanliness.
@set - yeah, Dunlap.
I sort of like the font/script from instrmntl.
...I liked the type based approach if I could do Betsy's. Seeing some tattoo fonts, I wanted something more unique and personal. I like the cleanliness and "type" look of it
I'll have to think some more tonight... appointment is tomorrow, but maybe I'll push it. Don't know.
