Does anyone have a good site to find a font for my tattoo? I want something that looks like ancient Irish writing not just a cartooned version of what someone thinks might look "Irish." Also, I haven't found many fonts that include any letters with fadas so please keep that necessity in mind. GRMA. |

The only "ancient" writing system is Ogham, which shows sounds represented by slash marks. There are fonts like that, but I suspect you want something in a later script (i.e. early Christian era).
Vincent Morley and Michael Everson both make lovely fonts; you might have a look through their offerings.

GRMA. That's exactly what I was trying to find. |
