Question Tattoo Font Choice Assistance

Finally gonna take the plunge and get some ink on me.

My stubborn old papa was 82 and had been ill for three years. The last time I saw him he was sitting up in his bed, and I was sitting next to him. We were watching Crocodile Dundee and his gravel-breathed laugh still rings in my mind. I left for the new term of Uni that week & knew I'd never see him again.

3 weeks later, 4 days before my birthday his never-say-die spirit finally said enoughs enough & changed its mind. I was at Uni when I got the text from Mum. "Papa gone. X". I didn't know how to react initially but my mind finally started working the day before his funeral & I wrote a poem for his obituary website. Its still on there titled "My Way Of Saying Goodbye" - https://announce.jpress.co.uk/811914...ontribs_header.

Lowering him in with the cord was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

So, the maiden tattoo for me will be lyrics of a song my cousin sang at his wake called Dark Island. Its a really haunting song & my cousin sang it really well. Some of the lyrics really sound like something my Papa would say.

No MS Word font will do, I want a Celtic font, similar to the one used in Bilbo's book from LOTR. Scottish/Irish in depiction. If anyone has any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the long winded approach when all I'm asking for is a font.

Emotional times
