Last month a sweet woman man named Francis (Mortifying: Francis sent me a note this morning correcting my mistake- tattoo was for daddy's arm all along. I had it all wrong.) emailed me to see if I would be interested in scrawling out her his daughters' names for a tattoo, and of course I eagerly said yes. Here is the result (and a cute photo of the young family, to boot). One of the sweetest projects I've worked on in a while!

That is the best thing I've ever seen. And, I don't even like tattoos!!
That is so cool! What a lovely idea!

Okay that's awesome

Thanks, everyone! So glad you like it!
Wow! This is great. I've always toyed around with the idea of having my daughter and my husband's names done somewhere on me.
beautiful!! that is really amazing!!
brilliant. nicely done. if i were to get a tat, your handwriting would be a top choice.
Ah, the Frances/Francis confusion! My grandmother's name was Frances; her son is Francis. I have two cousins named Francesca which makes the gender differentiation a little bit easier to master! Love the tattoo! xoxoxo
omgosh... this is just adorable!
Super Cool!Very Tempting!
I love it! I wish David would stop saying he doesn't like tattoos.
Gorgeous. I'm going to get back to you once I have a couple kids.
I love it, so pretty

Next please (my hand is raised in the air waving)~!!!!
AWWWWW! That is just so sweet.

I love this family & don't even know them! their flickr photos are so beautiful and the girls are about the same age as my little one, so it's been fun to keep up with them. Rad tatoo.

This is the only tattoo I have ever seen & liked...
Simple + classy and you could never outgrow it's sentiment...

This is such an awesome idea!! Francis has exactly the right idea...in fact a couple of months ago, in the same spot on my arm, I got my sister's signature tattooed on my arm.
I did this as a tribute to my sister who passed in October of 2009.
Lovely post!!
Hey everyone! Thanks for your amazing response to this tattoo.....if you would like to talk to me about designing one for you, please just email me at betsydunlap@gmail.com and we can discuss!
I also had an inconvenient with one of my tattoos I have, it was because I did the girlfriend's name on my arm, it was terrible because after that I broke down with her, then I had to change my tattoo.
this is super unique and amazingly pretty!
I'd LOVE to have something similar of my sons name!
Absolutely loved it, your handwriting is incredible. So much so that I included it in a blog post about tattoo love, http://contrary-garden.blogspot.com/2010/09/tattoo-files-script.html
Thanks for the inspiration!
Mary

Thanks, everyone! So glad you like it!
And then even at the expense of a really serious disease!
I'm sorry, but something can and I will never understand!
I'm borderline, for many years and when I then see that it is still an "art" makes me burst the collar!
Idiots, honestly!

I can't believe I found out who penned this beautiful tattoo...I've been lusting after it since I saw it on a random webpage a few months ago. I love this so much!Hmm, once I have a full set of names...
Beautiful calligraphy, how can I contact the person who wrote this? I'd would like to ask him/her to write "Gaby & Eva" to make my tattoo (Gaby & Eva are my doughters)
if he/she can write it for me please let me know at ernesto.canedo@gmail.com
That is one of the most beautiful script tattoos I've seen! When I get up the courage to get mine done I may contact you!

I've tried to contact you via email for a tattoo in this design but I'm not quite sure you received it. I'm very keen to get a tattoo in this font and I haven't found anyone that could get it right. Please let me know if you could design it for me if it's not too much trouble. My email is lyndanguyen@live.com. Thanks.

So beautiful. I can't wait to get my rib piece done with this amazing calligraphy. Exactly what I wanted and have been asking artists to draw for me for over 2 years and no one can do it the way I want it. This is perfection.
I thought 'twould be a search to forever for this exact style for my tattoo but you are an angel! My first born died years ago and now I want a tattoo that would bear hers and her sister's name too.. Lleann + Amber.. is there any way you could write my kids' name the same as for "Lucy and Orla'? Would be so grateful entirely. If it could be possible, my email is restorationmomma@gmail.com
My biggest thanks!
Such amazing work. Could you please contact me at zoegaudry@hotmail.com - I have been trying to email you. I am very interested in having you design a tattoo for me. I have been searching for months and nothing compares to this tattoo. Thank you (:

Just now you, too, I wrote an e-mail, hoping that you have time loss and also to help me with my tattoo.
I too have been looking for the right Srift, was itself creative, but that was more in the pants:-D. But now I came across your site and am intrigued.
Not only that Tatto here, but all your work is enchanting. I would be incredibly happy to have your art on my skin!!

I know you've had a million requests (!) but I so want to get my 2 babbas names tattooed on my wrist and I just LOVE this Lucy and Orla scribe and wondered would you write my kids names (Thaddeus and Grey) for me to show the tattoo artist? Would love to hear from you - my address is tamsinclee@gmail.com.
I love it.. when i saw it the first time it blew my mind, because this is what I had in mind for my own, very stylish. So I send out an email already.. hope to hear from you. Many thnxs
Hi there ,
Script is beautiful. How do we contact you to get some script done?
Thanks Scott
greatbrandcopmpany@gmail.com
Oh my gosh,
Oh my gosh I've found you!
I've been looking for this font to no avail and then it struck me it must be someone's original handwriting.
I was so dissapointed and thought I'd never find out whose.
I've had so many attempts at recreating something similar but for a tattoo that I'm going to have for life "good enough" just won't do!
I realise that this is quite an old post but if there is any, any, ANY chance that you could draw something up for me, or even just an alphabet in this gorgeous hand for my tattooist to arrange please email me at roseljyn@gmail.com
I know you have a gorgeous bubba to devote your time to now but if you could spare the time to email me either way I would be eternally grateful!
Sending my love,
Roseljyn.
Wow... so I have been searching for a font/script for a tattoo that I've been wanting for ages, and I saw the Lucy and Orla tattoo... I adore your writing, and would LOVE for you to write out the words for the tattoo I want. And obviously, I am not the only one. It is amazingly beautiful. Ifyou have the time, I would be so happy if you would contact me regarding this. I'll explain what I want, and the situation behind it. Thank you.
caseylyn77@hotmail.com
This font is so amazing... I LOVE IT! Any way you could send me "Jhomaira" with this font please please please!!! It is so perfect! maxime.chiquet@gmail.com
You really ROCK!!!
Hello, I'm in love with your style of font and was wondering if you could please send me this style of script with the words;- "follow your heart?"
I absolutely love your writing and would like to use it as the template for my first tattoo.
If you can could you please send it to: saraah.anne24@hotmail.com
Thank you!
This is beautiful! Would you be able to write "La vie est belle" with the L exactly like the one in this tattoo if possible? I am planning on getting this tattoo on the middle of my back along the spine. If you can, please email me at ctam11@gmail.com.
thanks so much!! you really have an amazing talent!

What a gorgeous font! I, like many people here, have been searching for 'the one'. (font - that is…:) I have spent countless hours browsing the net and nothing has excited me until now! Significantly enough, I am having the words ' no regrets' inked on my wrist as a reminder that there is no going back - no need to dwell on the past but only look forward to the future. Because of some life changing decisions I have made this past year, I must be positive; therefore, looking for a font that evokes a certain feeling, which this one most certainly does. I am sure you could make a fine business out of your calligraphic craft.
As a graphic designer, I completely understand that nothing comes without a price tag when it comes to your artistic skill; however if you are interested in writing my words, please do get in touch and we could work something out.

WIth appreciation,

hi! may i please know the name of this font? jojo.nasayao@yahoo.com
Or please write this in that font. thanksss!!1
With his naked soul,
he loved her,
and dreamt
of her clothed
in white dancing
beneath the moonlight
as the stars
grew jealous of the way
she moved.”
For while now I've been wanting a tattoo on my arm. After hours of searching and searching I finally found the perfect font on pinterest. Attached was the link to this website.
Im really not even sure if you read these much less even see it. But I guess its worth a shot to try and ask.
So I'm getting my tattoo next Thursday and id absolutly be forever greatful if you would be so kind as to write out my tattoo for me and email me a picture to take to the artist.
The quote I want is
"Above all else,
guard your heart"
And my email is davisslillie@gmail.com
