Hi everyone,

This is my first post, I've joined specifically to ask a question, any help would be so appreciated!

I have deliberated for years about getting my first tattoo, finally decided that I am going to go for it to mark the end of my 20s, and after doing a bit of online browsing, I now fear that my dream tat may not be as simple as I had hoped!

I want a quotation of around 20 words, over three lines, to be on one side of my back just below the ribs. I wanted this in a very clean, thin, defined, handwriting style font and had picked out CAC Pinafore. I was looking at 28point lettering.

I am now worried that this is going to be too small and will bleed/fade very quickly. I do accept that all tattoos will fade in time and understand this, but could anyone advise if this font is suitable for a tattoo?

I know I should probably contact a tattoo artist and I will, but first off it would be great to get some input from people on here. I am worried about picking out the right artist and would like to not sound like a complete ignoramus when speaking to them about it!

Thanks for reading.
