New tattoo ideas! Possibly in Elkarîl!

Post by Neek »

So I've decided, my next tattoo is going to be in commemoration of the birth of my son, Tristan Grey. I'm thinking of getting his name tattooed on me with his time and date of birth. But in Elkarîl. However, this does lend to some problems.

First name: Tristan
* Lacks /s/, could just use /S/ in replacement.
So I might get, TRISH TAN.

Middle name: Grey
* There's no /j#/ syllable, which means I might settle with /e:/.
So, middle name GREE.

Last name (maybe): Sunsera
SHUN SHER RA. Seems fairly simple.

Now, let's see if I can draw it myself...

If she has a problem with it, then it's her own problem.

Plus, it'd be a fairly obscure but cool tattoo on its own right.

You can save a face by using the -a nominalizer on the last name, so you'd get SHUN SHERA.

Hm. An interesting question, I would think, is what style would the faces have? If it were possible, I think it'd be really neat to model them after what your son looks like: I was thinking one face for every couple years - to show how he grows. Of course, this takes a lifetime before you can finish writing the full name.

Yes, but it'd be someone else's faces :wink:

Well, either way, I want some Elkarîl faces on me! It just seems like a nifty and obscure way to make a cool tattoo work. My son's name, in a face-script.
