is that one or two words?

It is how the font is supposed to be.

If you measure where the bottom of the R is to where the top of the T is, the spacing is identical to all the other letters

i really didn't ask the question in order to give you a hard time.  i wasn't sure.

regardless of measurement, DuCaTiNi is correct.  that aint the same spacing.

However, I knew what it looked like before the needle went on my arm and I was pleased with it.

Not all fonts are the same.

it's true not all fonts are the same, and neither is the kerning (spacing between letters)
i only notice it because i'm a designer  ;)
i do like your type choice for your tatt's!

first

lost a very close friend in a bike wreck 5 years ago. He owned decepticons.org, so there are a handful of us with that logo as a memorial.  Latin is a quote attributed to Christopher Marlowe: "What nourishes me, destroys me"

second

rj45 (ethernet) jack. 

third
(no pic, nautical star (black only) above my right elbow)

fourth

on my right wrist above the latin/decepticon

Cyrus though cool I would have liked to see your avatar inked somewhere!  ;D
Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

bwaaaaaaa

That would be funny.

I actually almost got to fly out private on Saturday to Leguna for a media event, but was informed a bit too late.

I was going to go cruise around Ducati Island with a t-shirt of my avatar.

Right arm

Right Forarm

Left Forarm

Underside of left Forarm it says wicked and it is hard to see right now because of camera phone

Spawn on my right inner Forearm

They all are pretty much jailhouse tat's but I like them. I have a few others but they are just hard to take pics of...especially at work.

I don't think of mine so much as a 'tattoo' as I do a birthmark that just took 28 years to come to the surface.
