tattoo you

i want a tattoo - well, i already have one - a small dime sized flower - so small in fact that some have lovingly called it "a mistake, not a tattoo"!
but now i'm thinking it's time for another, bigger, bolder tat. something in farsi, something with my name, something with my history, something with the future.
here are some samples i've found online - in the right hands persian calligraphy makes the most simplest of words a piece of art (the first below is "peace").

  1. farsi calligraphy for "peace" is most probably the source of inspiration for Picasso's dove:
