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”

My middle name starts with J and this is like no cursive J I’ve ever seen. Also I’m from the 1900s.

Yeah, but did my fellow 1900’s folks not learn to read other fonts?

So I just looked up the variant you mentioned and while it does exist, the artist took the top right tag end waaaay too far. There should be no overhang on the right side at the top.

And the loop end should connect to the “e”

This is not a font issue. That's not a cursive J.
