    Hi

    It looks like a really poor attempt at copperplate style.
    I would seriously reconsider the whole idea if you do not know what it is you want tattooing on your wrist.

    What you may think looks great today may not be the same in 10, 20, or 30 years.

    My advice is go back to the drawing board and give it a long think on what you want doing, placement (many employers hate tattoos and will insist you keep it covered), and the actual style of tattoo you want.

    Not being harsh, just honest as a tattoo is for life.

    Good Luck

    Looks a bit like chicano font style, like mine!

    Try looking around on deviantart for photos of tattoos, get some ideas, maybe you’ll draw some inspiration and discover something meaningful for yourself.

    It varies, like closer to the elbow or armpit and it starts to sting, but the middle part you barely feel anything. On the whole I’d give it a 4/10, you’ll feel it but it’s bearable.

    Besides, after a while you’ll get used to it and then it just becomes an uncomfortable sensation, nothing more.

    Haha well, that’s really up to you, it’s a personal thing.

    A lot of people have done things like Faith, Believe, Hope, if those make any sense or have any meaning to you then go for it.

    How in the world was that harsh? I thought it sounded like good advice. As for me Dirt man, I’d repeat what he said, but urge you not to do it at all. If you don’t even know what word you want, this ain’t something you want to be doing. Tattooing is forever, and while I think pretty much everyone should get at least one, too many people have poorly rendered, poorly thought-out designs they go on a whim that they come to hate later…or just make them look like an idiot.

    Love. Peace. Metallica.
