I think the ghayn doesn't work because the G in Kerrigan makes a 'g' sound as in God or goat or guy.
So I think this is better. Correct me if I'm wrong

The way Death flower wrote it is better. Since the sound as in "God" does not existe in arabic, we have to find other way to write it. It is better to translate is as a glottal R sound. What you wrote Matt would be read as "Kerrijan" (soft j)

I am getting the tatoo down the right hand side of my ribs, could you please tell me which way up it starts as someone told me it reads right to left, is that true?, would you also be able to send it to me again in some sort of font so that i can copy and paste it and then print it, Thank you very much.

Richard.

The suggestion of Death Flower is good, but it has to be attached to make one word.

كيريغان

As for Mat, that was a good thought

. It's just that people tend to transcript G as ghayn instead of jîm. Sometimes they'd also use a loan letter to represent G, which is jîm with three dots.

And yes Richard, Arabic is read from right to left.
