Hi, I'm working on designing tattoo for my friend and he wants me to try something with the font pictured below, the N and Y characters that is.
Any help with an ID would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you mean that you're looking for the font that makes the N and Y in the logo above, then I'm pretty sure that you're going to be disappointed; it's almost certainly custom hand-lettering. That said, there might be a font reminiscent of the N and Y for you to use, although none come immediately to mind right now.
