Not the 'fint' you use, obviously

Its gonna be stuck on you, so the 'fint' you like best,
but olde English is the pen of chav IMO, just too overused for me to want that.

i've been to the tattoo shops but they've said the font will look different if it's bigger or smaller

i don't want it to look "wrong" when it's written out, so i need to know what it's going to look like as an example

Can you not google a font site and have a look there, even if it means printing it off?

Verdana or Tahoma are the in fonts at the moment, all my emails come through in those.

not bothered about it being "in fashion" but there are so many i just can't make up my mind

i want them to be clea enough to be easily legable, yet not something that looks like it's been prnitedon with a stamp

anyone got any writing they can show me? all the sites tend to show dragons and flowers and shit like that which i'm not erally into

http://www.dafont.com/nolla.font?psize=l&text=Miami+Ink

the second one is favorite so far as it's nice and simple, i'm not too sure i could pull off the last one, seeing as i only want the writing to be about half an inch tall
