I'm looking for a horizontal tattoo to go on the inside of my forearm that says the word "Worthy". I'd like it in continuous cursive in a soft feminine and whimsical font. I do not want it to take up the length of my forearm. Please include small and soft elements of a classic ankh and celestial patterns. I want the ankh small and delicate. Black ink.
