Sorry fella, been quite busy at work this week what with the bank holidays.

I didn't have that original font so couldn't do anything with it. Do you still want/need me to do some kind of layout? If so, you could always send me a link to the font

Understandable, my student loan was delayed by 3 days due to that messy weekend!

I have a rough idea, song words in quotation marks with Goodnight Papa DOB - DOD beneath it. The font doesn't have numbers so I was hoping the artist could fashion something similar. I've picked where I'm going - its in Southampton. Link enclosed. Anything you could throw together would be well appreciated.

Hopefully I've got the correct text in there

Had to play about with it a bit as, like you said, there were no numbers but also no apostrophes or quote marks either so grabbed those from another so need to check they're in the appropriate places and nothing has been missed.

Also need to add in the correct dates as well.

Let me know what to change and we'll go from there

Thas a lot better looking than the set-up I had on MS Word. Looks really really good. What font are the numbers from? Is it an MS standard?

The dates are the only things to change - they're on my sig. If you could send me a word file with the correct dates and the font files (if needed), I can get meself booked in & inked next week.

Really appreciate this

Sorry, didn't spot the dates in your sig, silly me

The numbers are from Formal 436 BT. It wasn't set in word but I can do a PDF if that is OK?

Desmo · 06-05-2011, 17:19

OK, image above should be updated with correct dates and here's a link to the PDF

That looks amazing. I think I have my tattoo!

Thanks so much for that. I will of course post a picture up on here once its on. Better do some sit-ups so the belly doesn't look as full of cider as it really is!

AWESOME! Thanks everybody for inputting!

Also - for the tattoo display on here - how do I add photos to a thread?

I've never done it before and I can't see the link to "add albums" on my User CP.
