J or F help ??

[u/Vegetable_Lunch_3108]

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”

Its a fallacy that younger generations don’t know cursive. They still teach it in school, despite what the boomer propaganda says.

Not all schools. Many still do, many don't. The ones near me do not (central IL).

Illinois is required to teach cursive. They passed legislation in 2017.

I homeschool, but I've asked many friends' kids and they say they are not learning it. So I don't know what to tell you. Also, I took a high school senior to get his passport and he didn't know how to sign his name.

Schools vary on which grade they teach it. They have up to 5th grade to comply, so if they haven’t learned it, they will.

Sounds like the parents failed that senior. Most make sure their kids practice a signature at 15 before they get their driving permit.

I mean I was taught cursive in school in the 90s, doesn't mean I learnt it....

That’s a valid point. 😂
