I want to get the words "I’m sorry I dont have much to say. I love you." on my right wrist in some cursive (they were the last words i ever heard my grandma say to me.)
Yes, I realize that it depends on the artist, how much time it takes and all of that.
I was just wondering/hoping someone might be able to tell me an estimate so I know how much money I’m going to need.
It’s always best to find a shop and artist you’re comfortable with and ask them the cost. It’s more important to get a tattoo by a competent artist in a safe clean studio then to shop by price.
So find the studio first and then worry about the price.

Im getting the last two lines of the poem invictus tattooed above my peck but wanna have more than just words, like have it on an old piece or paper or something? but not that, idono any ideas?
I’d put it in a scroll. That would look cool. Or put it on an old piece of paper and have a quill (old feather pen) next to it, like someone just got done writing it.

I want to get my sons name and I want lettering that is really fancy but legible. I wanted to have something to take into the shop when I go if possible.
Hi, type your sons name in this site and it will show you how it will look……http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/shelley-script/shelley-allegro-script/

When you find the font you want most tattoo shops will have it in the shop. Hope this helps.

Im thinking of getting either Magnum Marshall or just Marshall on my upper back for a tattoo what would be a good font/lettering
Well, when I think of a last name across your back, I think if a football jersey. So, if that’s what you’re going for, maybe block lettering.
Otherwise a nice script would probably be nice.
I personally don’t like the script that is so elaborate you can’t tell what the letters are, though.

Can anyone give me a picture of the minimal size for tattoo letters? All I want is a small RIP && want it as small as I can, but big enough so when it eventually fades and such it wont be unreadable.
I don’t have pictures but the smallest I have, and the smallest I’ve seen is about 1 cm high by 1/2 cm wide. Some artist may be willing to do smaller but I really think it would blur.

Can you read chinese? How do you know what it really says?
It could say something like "I like hairy men" or "I play with goat feces"
Seems to me you gotta be awfully brave to trust some guy in a tattoo parlor putting lettering on ya if you cant read it.
If you’re not Chinese, you shouldn’t have a Chinese tattoo. That’s just stupid. Chinese people don’t have words tattooed on them in American.

i am getting the tattoo "believe in serendipity" with a little feather under my left breast. does anyone have pictures of this placement so i can get a few different ideas? also if i get a little feather about an inch and a half long do you think it’ll blur together over time? thanks!
You’ll need a larger feather in order to keep it from blurring.

Looking to get a partial chest piece that flows into a third of a sleeve and there’s going to be a lot of (around) cm high lettering. Any simple fonts will help. Thanks in advance.
