Wow. Tatoo. It is good to make sure you really get this one right.

I like this for "light".

Definitely wrong as pointed out. Ideas to consider:
tIqwIj DaghajtaH
tuqwIj Dacho'
bI'ut
yInlIjvaD yInwIj 'oH
batlhlIjvaD batlhwIj 'oH
These are merely ideas I would have for my own son, were I to ever have one,
which is highly unlikely, though I have an active imagination.
If you are going to use a non-roman font, I'd highly recommend the KLI pIqaD
font that Lawrence developed. Besides looking really cool, requiring fewer
characters (since tlh is one character, for example), it is also true that
if anything is misspelled or if you change your mind about what you want the
world to see written on your skin, VERY few people would understand the
mistake.
Though I would.
