Just look up basic font websites like www.fonts.com and such and search those. Find a few different styles you like and take them in to your artist to figure out which would translate best and give him an idea of what you're looking for.

So you just want to see pictures of pre-existing chest tattoos with fonts and pick from those? If so then google is about all I could suggest. However, you'll get such a broader range of choices from a font website.

The only piece of script on me (which is curently being lasered off), is in this font, I thought it was "neat."

Comic Sans, it's really the only font you should get for a tattoo.

He does gang writting. You can tell he has ekcellent tension to detale.

He has a passion for lettering, apparently no so much for spelling.
