Hi Dirtbike
If you want your name just don’t get it across your forehead 😉
As for making it better the font style is fine. What you have to consider is the shading and outline.
Where it is white do you just want skin showing? This could make it look unfinished.
I would suggest a bold outline to really make it stand out but have gradients of shading so that instead of just skin (white bits on the paper) it is a pale shade, deepening into a black fill.
Also I would recommend maybe changing the bottom underlining – to me it does not do the name justice. I would go for something more intricate, or swirling or maybe even something akin to an ivy trellis.
I would also suggest more shadowing around the letters – although this is something some go for some not.
Do a transfer slap it on your body and take a good look and see if you are really happy with it. Do not be afraid to experiment with the base design.

As usual, Matthew said most of what needed to be said right off the bat. The only thing I can add is that the “J” in there looks like a “P” because of the font. The only reason I figured out it wasn’t was because of how common a name “Joseph” is.
Love. Peace. Metallica.
I agree about the J looking like a P
here is a quick one i done up, just puts a slight twist on it
Dude, that is so much better it ain’t funny.
Love. Peace. Metallica.
i prefare it like this without the yellow and having a bit of shading around it
I really like the shading on the second design.
You know Outlaw I think I am going to have to get myself down south for some work!
