Once again, thanks for all your help. 🙂 Interestingly though, the Runic alphabet you linked to gives a different result:

Kiefer’s tattoo:

Is there any reason for the differences?

The “I” and “Y” on Kiefer’s are the same – I just assumed that was because there was no literal translation. The “R”, “T”, “O” and “K” are all different too.

Thanks for all the info! I have seen on their website that they are not taking appointments for 1-2 years! That’s really disappointing. I guess I will just get it done in the UK instead.

Thanks for your help though!

I haven’t been out of the country for years, wanted to go somewhere different, and also want to get that tattoo. That’s reason enough to go for me. It’s not the fact that any half-decent tattoo artist could do it, it’s the fact that I want to go to that place. 🙁 🙂

And somehow… I don’t think it was LA Ink! :p
