Tengwar tattoo   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #5844 of 6905 |

Hi, i'm new here and i would like to have a tattoo of the words: 'love'
and 'luck' in the script Tengwar.
My own researches has brought me this far: ( Please correct me if i'm
wrong )

English: Quenya:

Love mel

Luck valto

Now i've tried to know how these words are written in the script
Tengwar.
I've found an alphabet in this script and have copied and paste it
letter by letter.

I really hope that one of you ( who probbably knows alot more than me of
this subject ) could tell me if i'm right or wrong.
The script will be for life on my body, so it would be a shame when it's
spelled wrong or something.
Here's a link of the picture i've made :

explanations..

(Btw: sorry if my English is not so good, i'm from holland! :) )
