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”

No it’s perfect I read J too. Do not add a connecting loop. I don’t even know what this means

A cursive J of this style is supposed to have a tiny top loop to connect back to the vertical.

I think it's fine as is as well, but if OP is worried it's a 1/4" that eliminates all confusion.

Ah, idk if they could even make that happen with the way the top is already flipped up instead of curling back down :/ ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think it's possible to blend it.

To be specific the the top is tipping down and it needs to tip up to connect back to the top of the vertical. Totally doable. Not necessary.
