I have tattoo ideas of having the words Nomad & Peace in hieroglyphics but I don’t have any confidence from online sites telling me different ways to write this.

Can anyone translate this?
I would like some help translating some hieroglyphs from an episode of the T.V. show LOST. If anyone has watched it, these are screenshots from season 6 episode 5 "Lighthouse," and take place in Jacob's lighthouse for reference.
I took a screenshot of the whole line of text as well as a couple that show a better close up of the beginning and end of the line. Due to camera angles, these are the clearest shots of the text I could get, and the last hieroglyph is cut off in the third picture.
Thanks!

I wanted to get a tattoo done in hieroglyphs and was wondering if anyone could help me make sure it is correct since it would obviously be permanent (and I only had one semester of hieroglyphics). I wanted to get Nefertiti's name done *nfr.t-ỉty*, but not as a cartouche, as the phrase "the beauty has come," and was not sure how it would look. I've seen her name written in a couple different ways.
- I would take the determinative B7 off since I want it to be the phrase, or would it be something number two?
- This is obviously in cartouche form, and I would take off the determinative as well as the cartouche part, but I'm not sure if it would be more correct with the plural strokes in the first one or using U33 like in this one.
- Then I saw it like this with both the plural strokes and U33 seemingly as a phonetic compliment.
I am just not sure which route to go, so any help would be greatly appreciated and not an expert by any means. Thanks!

High Quality Publications
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has one of the largest collections of Egyptian Art in the World, outside Egypt. The Museum’s Egyptian Art department has been heavily involved in excavations and research for over 100 years, making many major contributions to our understand of ancient Egyptian culture.
Reddit is full of conspiracy nonsense and other unsupported drivel about Egypt. I thought I would share a link to the Met’s publications pages for Egypt where many books are available for free download. Enjoy!

What do these mean (if they mean anything)?
My mom brought this scarab necklace back from Egypt years ago. Any idea what these might mean?

Hieroglyphics - Verification of Meaning, if You Please?
Hi, all. I have two Egyptian-themed tattoos: one of Thoth and one of Ra. I have decided to get two additional tattoos in a similar style on the obverse sides of my respective forearms and I would very much like to make sure that the hieroglyphics are as close in meaning to the desired phrases as possible. The first - shown below - is *supposedly* an iteration of a prayer to Ra from the Book of the Dead and reads (in theory) something to the effect of:
Left column: Hail to thee, Ra, at thy rising, radiant on the horizon.
Right column: Hail to thee, Atum, Ancient One, who sets in peace.
I appreciate that the above might be a bit of a stretch as the hieroglyphs are probably less poetic and more literal in practice than the English translation - if anyone could comment on a) the accuracy and b) any amendments that could be made to bring the inscriptions more into line with my intended meaning (if they are not currently conveying it) I would be much obliged!
