I have recently decided I want a certain two words tattooed on my person somewhere. The location will be determined later, but I'm stuck on the font style. Once I decide on a font style, it will be easier to determine where to put it. I love the lettering style of heavy metal-type bands and found a good assortment of styles to choose from. What I haven't found is a site where you can enter the text to see what it looks like so your guess is as good as mine. This is a problem to be worked out after narrowing down the options. I know the final decision is mine, but what do you think looks good?

I personally like the Balroc font, top left corner. I'm gonna try and find that font now.

Yup. The problem with detail becomes size. In order to get the detailed fonts, the tattoo will have to be bigger, which may cause a bigger placement problem than I'm ready to deal with.

Considering the amount of tattooing that I get done (Not a lot), I'm willing to pay more for quality on this one. I think finding a good lettering artist will be the hardest part.

Close your eyes and write it . Then use the other hand. keep doing it til your words come out the way you like. Then start a fight with a pre-schooler,and steal his crayons...

Create your tat.... then have a colored pic to show your artist.

I'm sure you would love for someone to call you unstable since it would justify your behavior, but it's going to have to be someone else.

I suppose it's my own fault for not specifying what I wanted the opinion on.
Oh wait... I did.

Never mind.

I agree.

I think "lurtz", "ringwraith", "harad", and the simplistic "the quick brown fox" above "bay end" will certainly be finalists.

Umm someone has already called me unstable.Thats why I used that word.... You can reference it if you'd like.
I dont plan on justification, you're not important enough.

You were clear in your starter. Maybe I wasnt as crystal?
When your going for something as personal as a drawing on your body that is premanent..
You should write it out. Not copy someone else's penmanship. Im ambidextrious. Thats a big word for uses both hands. And closing eyes does work. Calligraphy , for some reason comes out better when Im not looking at it .
And the child thing was me making a joke. but meaning for you to use color and figure out which colors you like before going to an artist.

In my latter post, that was me telling you to back off. I gave you input on your topic. Whether you understood or could use it , wasnt the issue. You asked for opinions and I gave you my opinion.

You can still fuck yourself.

It is a shame there isn’t a software to show what it will look like in 30 or 40 years.

I think the “Black Gates of Mordor” font looks pretty bad-ass.

Still researching.
A buddy of mine is a graphic designer at a print shop and gave me a few sites to check out. I'm not really in a rush.

Your best thinking got you called unstable.
What makes you think any of your recent thoughts are somehow better?

I'm not getting a drawing. I'm getting lettering.
If I could fucking draw it, I would.
And it's a lot easier to find the font, enter the text into a computer to see exactly what it looks like, print it, and hand it to the artist. And I certainly don't want anyone in the process closing their eyes or using anything except their dominant hand.

I asked for an opinion on which fonts you liked. That's it, and maybe a site where the text could be entered. You didn't name one of either. I even posted a pretty picture for you and still, nothing. Instead of acting like some sort of expert in the field of tattooing and assuming I haven't been through the process before, just say which fonts you like and zip it.

Is there one place on the internet where you don't rub people the wrong way?
And more to the point, is there any one of those moments where you don't use being "unstable' as an excuse after your complete disregard for etiquette? Just because other people dismiss you or have the patience to turn the other cheek, don't assume everyone has the patience or the need to deal with your bullshit.

Stop being a over-reactionary, condescending cunt.

Wow! OK then... where do I start?

1st paragraph...
My best thinking? Did you go back and reference? Someone said i seemed unstable and I used it a week later. Fuck off. Who are you to decide what my thoughts are ? better or worse as opposed to what ? What do you have to say for yourself.? Lets be clear .. your neither a moderator nor admin.. Why do you matter?

2nd paragraph
I wouldnt expect your tattooist to use anything except their dominant hand. Would you ?
You wanted lettering.I gave you an opinion. Im not your lil slap dog. You might want to back off a lil before you come at me again. Im still trying to be nice.

3rd paragraph
I think the best fonts are the ones you come up with on your own. I do not act as I am a pro at tattooes. This was an opinion based thread.. right ?
refer to paragraph 2.

4th paragraph
Yes. How about you ? I mentioned unstability and all of a sudden its a crutch?
Etiquette? I stayed on topic till the thread starter hyjacked his own topic. Hows that for etiquette?
You can iggy,dismiss whatever. Your computer... your controls.
My bullshit? You started this... REMEMBER!

5th sentence
Lets see... you hijack your own thread... complain that you cant draw, mention that you want people to use their dominant hands, blame me for acting like i know so much( in an opinion thread) ,make a comments about other sites, accuse me of using unstable as a crutch.. and threw in a few insults.... What are you planning on getting from this besides a post count?

I already knew what I wanted, but wasn't sure on specifics. I thought a thread would be a good thing for people to comment on and offer their opinion. It didn't work out. As I stated in the OP, the final word is my decision as with any other work I've had done.

At this point, it has been put on the back burner.
So in hindsight, the thread was a bad idea; But not because of its intent, because of its results.

Nothing against the people who contributed.
As a matter of fact, I thank them.

It's kindergarten rules though;
One kid ruins it for the rest of the class.


Besides, I got enough sunburn while fishing the last two days to make tattooing an impossible option for a while.

And everything happens for a reason.:xd:
