I don't think it is possible for you to do the whole line on your arm without it blending together as you get older. There are tattoo parlours that will do it for you, but only a really good one will advise you not to because they want it to look good forever. My friend just got that spot done, and she got the words "miles to go" in approximately size 40 font. I'd say it takes up most of that portion of the arm. :/

I think it'd look good spilling from one arm to the next like the example picture but I don't think it will be possible to fit it all in one line in the spot. Sorry!

I don't know how far Columbus is from you, but a tattoo artist by the name of Rev Dan now works at a shop there called Sweet Baby Octane.
He used to work at Monster Tattoo in Pittsburgh, which is how I know of him. He's done 5 of the 6 tattoos my roommate has and one of mine. We will be driving the 3.5 hours to see him for our next tattoo.
He's also excellent at placement.

I went to a guy outside of Cleveland at Atom Bomb Tattoo in Willoughby, OH. The guy was Chris and he came highly recommended from a friend of mine who went to him when he was in Columbus. I was pleased.

(he did not do my wrist, the "nolite te bastardes" tattoo, or my dagger or roses. but everything else.)

the font is times new roman, 18 pt.

somehow, i don't think its times...if you look closely, many of the letters have a different basic shape than those of times (especially the capitals). i could be wrong, however.
