Hey has anyone heard from this guy Jordi who does the designs in arabic?? I have emailed him on some work I would like done and I have heard nothing. I know he was ill for a bit. Just wondering if anyone knew something, if he was just real busy or no longer doing designs.

if i was you i would hope to christ he spells better than you do. and i'd get the tattoo in a language you can at least speak and read. and on top of that, since you can't spell. i'd hire an academic to spell it for you. seriously, translators normally want 5-15 cents a word. I'm sure your thought provoking tattoo will not cost much to have professionally translated.
First off, I did not come on this site too be insulted!!!, there are no mispellings and I dont need a translater, just an artist. GOOD DAY, Mr. Packwood.
I must be blind as I'm not seeing the spelling errors here.
Also, I didn't see a request for a translation. Rather, I saw a request for information on a gentleman who can accurately write the characters. Much like asking someone who is knowledgeable in regards to kanji to accurately ink (whether on paper or on skin) the characters.
While I've no information on Jordi -- I do wish you luck. I have to respect someone who realizes that there's more to the 'arabic' language than just translating the words. I hope you did research the words you chose carefully, and that whomever writes it out for you is talented and honest.
Our good buddy Mr. Packwood was "tactfully" refering to the subject line in which the word tattoos was mispelled.... Lo! And Behold! The misbegotten travesties of the world!
....Good Luck with your tattoo!
If any of you are looking for a tattoo in Arabic, I do Arabic calligraphy for tattoos. I do all my work by hand with a reed pen, and I don't use a computer program like most services online, and my rates are very affordable. Check out http://www.arabiccalligrapher.com/ for more info and pictures. I also used to work as a translator/interpreter between Arabic and English, so you're guaranteed a correct translation.
Thanks!
