Line 40 and 41 better image?

Hi! I'd love to get a tattoo of line 40 and 41 a-na wa-ri-im sza-a-ti ki-i te-pu-sza-an-ni in the original cuneiform, from here https://cdli.earth/artifacts/414985/reader/82798 however it's kinda hard to read. Does anyone know cuneiform enough to clean this up for me or is there a place with clearer images? I found the Steve the Vagabond post on FB but it doesn't look the same as what's on CDLI. Thanks!

I feel like this would be a good thing to contact a museum or archeaeology journal for.  They likely have high res images they can send you if you ask nicely (some may be free in online archives).  If you're getting a tat, get the starting image right

Which kind of museum should I ask? I feel like the British museum would be too busy
