You need to know the exact font that you want it in. Once you find the right font, print out the word in generally the size you want it to be. This will save a lot of time! Generally with words, smaller looks better. Lots of black ink can look a little intense. And when you have a visible tattoo, like one on a forearm, you don't want to look too intimidating. Always think about future jobs!

A tattoo machine has three or more needles on it at one time. You can look at that link to see what they look like. It will hurt, but I think a small, meaningful tattoo will be worth it. Best of luck!
