I've been messing with this today and need some other thoughts. This might be a tattoo for my wife so I want to perfect it to death. Give me suggestions or odd strokes that stand out.
Thanks!

Can't say I do a lot of this stuff these days, but some quick advice/thoughts:
- the flourishes feel forced and a little stiff right now
- don't do this digitally from the get go, start on paper
- see if you can grab a copy of Dangerous Curves by Doyald Young, great reference.
- if there is a good tattoo parlor in your area, talk to the artists there
A good tattoo artist will take your initial sketch and make it work that much better when it's placed onto a curved surface. There's a wonderful tradition of hand lettering alphabets being handed down from artist to artist in the their craft.
Good luck
