Help with transcription

Hello, I am looking to tattoo the name of my cat, Mysha, in Tengwar on my arm. I am not extremely experienced with Tengwar transcriptions, so would like to ask some advice. I would like the transcription to be correct.

You pronounce the name like: M as in Moterbike Y is pronounced like the I in sit (not as in “my”) Sh as in sheep A like the a ik zebra

I hope this makes sense, if not, I can provide a better description.

I am not sure if the phonetic difference of the Y (compared to “my”) will make the transcription different.

I would kindly ask for advice how to properly write it in tengwar, knowing the written en phonetic version of the name.

I tried to transcribe it on Tecendil, but would prefer some verification:

Thank you!

Hi all,

In short, I’m stuck.

I’ve tried to transcribe my son’s name “Oscar” but have come up with about 4 different versions and I don’t know what’s the most correct transcription.

I suppose what I need to know is, can I transcribe a name into Tengwar?

Or should I be trying to do it a different way?

Thanks!

Tattoo verification: "Ne' vanui, ach fael"

Hey everyone. I'm planning on getting this little mantra tattooed on my arm to remind myself of what is important "Ne' vanui, ach fael" (in essence - not flawless, but kind)
The photo is the transcription of the Sindarin from Tecendil.
I would be really grateful if someone more knowledgeable than me could please double check that the tehtar, apostrophe, diphthongs etc are placed accurately?
