Opinions on font for The Hobbit related tattoo

    Not fully sure if this should go here as it's more got to do with tattoos than the books but I want the opinions of people who have read the book so figured I'd stick it here...If I'm wrong feel free to remove it.

    Ok so The Hobbit was the 1st Fantasy book I ever read and it started my love affair with the genre. I was looking at getting a tattoo that has something got to do with and decided on the quote Never Laugh at Live Dragons from when Bilbo is with Smaug. I'm just wondering bout what font to use. I don't want tengwar or the dwarves glyphs as I find them hard to read. I was considering this:

    create.php?text=Never%20Laugh%20at%20Live%20Dragons&name=tagetts2_U.ttf&size=40&style_color=000000

    I think the shape is kinda tengwaresqu while still kinda fun. What do you think?
