(I'm not necessarily recommending a tattoo, but here's the info.)

First, this is from Song of Songs 6:3. So if can get your hands on a Hebrew Bible, that's where you can look.

It looks roughly like this (though the little 'vowel points' should actually be UNDER the consonants, not next to them):

אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי וְדוֹדִי לִי

See it at:

Actually, Hebrew is OFTEN written without the vowel points at all (as it originally was), so you could simply do it this way:

אני לדודי ודודי לי

If you want a good clear IMAGE of what the letters should look like, go to the following link. (Note that the part you want is just the first FOUR words).
http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/c.pl?book=Sgs&chapter=6&verse=3&version=KJV#3

By the way "beloved" here is a masculine form, so this particular form of expression is spoken by a WOMAN. Also, a verse in Song of Songs that fits better with the idea of a tattoo would be 8:6 -

"Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm"

This is supposed to be an artist's rendering:

There's an acronym of the first letters in hebrew here:

Engraved on these rings, though I don't think you can see 100% of each ring

Ani Ledodi Vedodi Li (It's only a transliteration but I don't have Hebrew script on my computer)
