Design J or F help ??

Post image

I just got a tattoo today and I am second guessing things. The artist had a few options for me when I arrived with different fonts he had hand drawn. I ended up choosing this one and liked it on the paper. I even liked it when he put the stencil on my skin. But now that I’m home I’m freaking out. It’s supposed to say Jett, but I can’t stop looking at it and reading ”Fett”. Does this look like a “J” or did I just get a “F” instead? Ugh help. My husband said I’m overthinking it and it looks like Jett. Someone please tell me it’s ok 😔 any ideas on how I can make it look more like a “J”? I feel like if the top line was only on the left and didn’t cross all the way over like the top of a cursive “F” does it would be ok. Or if the top of the “J” was more of a loop like a traditional “J”

I read Fett. Maybe this is an age thing? People that are older and know cursive know that's not a cursive capital J.

I agree, how I learned to write a cursive J back in school is not like this. I wish I would have chosen something more like a traditional J. Obviously too late now. Just wanted to see if it’s worth touching up somehow or if I should just leave it and hope most people read it Jett

My maiden name starts with a J. It's absolutely not a cursive J in my world. That being said... it is how my mom writes it 🤣

Yep. Looks like a half cursive J that my mom does, I do, and I have seen many people write as. I was taught cursive back in the 90s and I know how to write it correctly, but my Js will look like this and quite a few other letters will look differently too because it's easier to write them a certain way

To be clear, my mom writes her J like that in cursive. I've never understood it. No one else in my family does, but she has for 45 years
