Does Anyone Know A Person Who Specializes In Writing Egyptian Hieroglyphics?
I am designing a tattoo for a client of mines. For the past two weeks I have trying to find websites or people who specialize in writing Egyptian Hieroglyphics, but I had no luck. My client wants her first name and her life story in hieroglyphics. The design has to be done in six weeks! Help!

i could and would do this for you!!!unfortunately thr work would not fit comfortablly upon a standard sized human skin if a complete individual life history was required!!!although a cartouche is a "royal perogative" and should not be used for common folks many present "scribes" misdirectedly use this affectation which is "bad practice" in the usage of hieroglyphics!!!!<eldoradoreefgold@yahoo.com>

Does your client know how to read Egyptian Hieroglyphics? Does your client know anyone who knows how to read it?
No? Well then, problem solved.
