i would like the word LOVE tattooed no my chest what would it look like and could you provide it in large format so i can copy it and bring to the place to show my guy
hey there-im the author of this post, but I’m writing to inform you that I actually do Arabic calligraphy, that’s why this tattoo craze fascinated me. If you want me to design you something, send me an email and Ill send you an image through email of “hub” (”love” in arabic), or الحب
Maytha, could you please send me your email address. I’d love it if you could do a calligraphy piece for me. Thanks,
Zachariah
