perhaps in the future when I want a shorter phrase I can do large (like across my back), then I'll go back to calligraphy

so I tried, but had to fall back to something more spaced out... I like the font I have above... good match of font + sciprt style.

@instrmntl - so originally I got a caligrapher to do the tattoo. Did iterations, and loved the original. It was amazing and so unique. The problem was it the text was too tight. The tattoo guy said I'd maybe get 2 good years before it really ran together :\ Looking through her other type, it all suffered the same... and I'd imagine what you wrote above would run together after a few years too :(
I was crushed.Here is a sample of the person I had originallyhttp://www.glamour.com…...

- haha, no. could never compete w natas nor would never bite. if anything i was too worried it was too close to the chocolate logo. it.s just the way i write curisive.instrmntl
- its just he way i write cursive. and the quicksilver is the way natas does. to me they look really completely different.instrmntl
- bt chocolate is chuky, natas's is water color brush ish and mine is just cursive/tagging.instrmntl
- bt its all cursive, so i guess it all looks the same. i did this in 04. i dont think the quicksilver thing was made then, was it?instrmntl

Hey guys,
I'm getting a tattoo this weekend, got the quote and font I like, but I wanted people here to look at it for leading and kerning. Being an interaction designer, I don't deal a lot in type (or haven't for about 10 years), so I wanted to ask people here for any things they might change with spacing. Already did some stuff... but anything else?(position = chest on the left side)
