Getting your first tattoo is a lot of fun. I'm glad that your tattoo has meaning, and you aren't getting something just because 'it's pretty'. I think the idea of getting it temporary is a great idea, just to make sure you like it.

I think that you should check around. Talk to the person who would be doing it. Check for prices, and remember, higher isn't always better. Ask about cleanliness, and look around. If the place is dirty, and you get a bad feeling about it, don't do it there. You want to be comfortable.

That is a lot of writing, so it will have to be small. You should bring your friend along to make sure you get his handwriting right. The tattoo artist shouldn't have a problem with this.

Make sure you also have money to buy location and that you will be able to take of it. It might hurt for a couple of days or even a few weeks, so make sure that you are going to be comfortable.
Have fun!
