Greek Lettering For Tattoo...

Hello. I hope I'm not offending anyone by being here. I don't know any greek at all. I want to get the word "Gravity" which is "σοβαρότητα" in Greek??? My problem is that I want this to be authentic and correct. I want the punctuation to be proper and accurate. I also want a fancy or cool sort of font. To me it all looks cool but i'm sure there is boring type font and cool fancy font for Greek lettering. Can someone help me? I've been having the hardest time trying to figure this out.

Thanks!

Σοβαροτητα in English means graveness, momentousness, notability, soberness, saturnineness, seriousness, solemnity, saturninity, staidness, sedateness..

You are looking for the word Βαρύτητα which means gravity in English. You would pronounce it like this Varitita .

Well just like in English where you change the font style you can do the same with Greek characters. Look below I used the font style Impact...

Bαρύτητα

Re: Greek Lettering For Tattoo...

Not to be hijacking this post but I am looking of the correct (or as close as possible) Greek for my son's name. I was googling around trying to find something and it brought me to this posting.
I have been waiting on my child for over 15 years now and he is due in June! I thought I would commemorate this with a tattoo of is name in Greek.

Is anyone willing to help? I hope so, and thank you in advance.
