Balloor

Hi Jordi ,
I was wondering if you could design a couple tattoos for
me and my husband.  I would like them in the Rosette style.
The names are  Crystal and Kenny. I want them on the inside
of my wrist, the smaller the better I have small wrists. I
saw the way that you did "Una's" tattoo and  that would be
the perfect size if it possible to do. I'll look for your
reply. Thanks

Hi Crystal,

"Kenny" should be no problem. It has four letters, exactly like "Una" (yes, I know, I'm talking ARABIC letters here).

However, "Crystal" is too big. These are seven letters long,

We have three options:

#1 using finer letters (I don't think this will work because it may be desirable for the two tattoos to have more or less the same line width).

#2 making it "Chris".

#3 use the Arabic word balloor (sometimes pronounced billowr) which means a crystal, and which has four letters (Arabic letters, again).

You don't have to decide now, I can sketch some 2 and some 3.

Hi Jordi, 
Options 2 and 3 sound fine. I think I like option
3 more however. Thanks. What is the total for
everything? I also have paypal account so payment
should be a breeze.

We'll begin with the "Kenny".

Please choose one.

I really like number 4 the shape is perfect 

ok, I've polished it:

What do you think?

I really like that. ;-)

Then it's finished.

Let's go with the Crys:

I really like number 6. I'm not sure where I want
to put it though.  
Can have the size adjusted when I decide to get it
done at the tattoo parlor? 

At most tatoo parlors they can do that.

OK, #6 is it then:

That's it. Thanks so much. Now I just print
and go? I'll send a pic of the finished
product when I get it. Thanks again.
