Need a name in Balinese writing

Nakal

Goodday all, I trying to figure out how to write the name [b][color=#FF0000]Saraswati[/color] [/b]in Balinese writing. Saraswati as in goddess of knowledge, music and arts. Can someone help me out with this? It's very important for me to get this and even more important to get it correct. I've googled around a bit and my wife thinks she knows it but isn't 100% sure. Can be quite tricky if you want to use it for a tattoo right? :? Thanks for your help :)

I don't know... But here you can download fonts to write Balinese on your PC. http://www.babadbali.com/aksarabali/balisimbar.htm or http://www.geocities.com/jglavy/asian.html

Thanks Bert, It seems the writing in Balinese doesn't really work like it's supposed to. Can any of the expats ask their family about this to make sure I don't end up with the wrong name on my arm? Thanks.

Just bumping this thread... I got my mind set and really want to get this tattoo. Thing is that I want to be sure it's correct and I want it to be done before summer comes. I tried googling but that doesn't give me certainty either. Can someone check with their relatives or provide me with a correct link where it's written?

I will ask my father in Law. After all he is a priest. Going to the village in a few.

Thanks Bert! My sister will come next month as well (she lives on Bali) and I'll ask her too. Better safe than sorry and have my daughters name wrongly spelled on my arm.

This is how father-in-law has written it.

Bedankt Bert!
