I was told these letters wer egyptian but they are different. But I would really like to make sure it spells what I want it to. Where can I find the alphabet for many different languages?

Well, if you wanted hieroglyphs, be aware that each hieroglyph does NOT correspond to a letter in the alphabet. Instead, each glyph has its own meaning, so stringing them together to make them sound like English might just give you gibberish. People make similar mistakes when getting "Asian" tattoos. you might do better to translate the word from English to glyph and go from there with your ink design.

Don't get a tattoo in a language you don't understand/speak/read.
I would personally find it insulting if someone who had little or nothing to do with my culture/heritage got a tattoo associated with it... so you may want to take that into consideration.

Go to ask.com then ask how to say the work in Egyptian. Do your research. you dont want a tattoo that says the wrong thing
