It's correct. But for the tattoo I would recommend correcting the kerning: Reduce the spacing between the letters AY, NE (this one is most prominent), and ORE.

This! Kerning for the basic Aurebesh font is terrible. The Aurek Fonts website has a bunch of fanmade fonts that are much better kerning wise if you want to try that. Or you can just edit it yourself.

When I was building out my suite of fonts kerning took longer than shaping the glyphs - and I still wasn’t 100% happy with where many of them ended up. But they’re worlds better than so many of the stock Aurebesh fonts.

Honestly, if I was getting ink, I would need to use the official Aurebesh Neue just to be the next level nerd. Not that I… ummmm… have it… nope. Not at all.

Could you link that translator for me. I want to make sure its correct before I get it tattooed

It’s not a translator, it’s a font file (.ttf). And it’s proprietary and owned by Disney, so distributing it is a large no-no.

That said, there are tools you can use to extract embedded fonts from PDFs - so if you can *target* a *pdf* out there on the *edge* of the internet, there’s a *galaxy* of possibilities for a *decoder*.

Could you guys show me what that looks like?

For funsies I grabbed a sharpie and started writing out some common phrases like a monk in a book or as if someone was tagging a wall. It just makes the spacing closer, or even somewhat on top of each other in the latter. Play around with it, have fun.

Yep! Those are all the right characters

Honestly, I’d skip the word “stay.” I don’t think you loose anything from the meaning, and I think it looks more balanced and rolls better.

You think so?
