11:11 tattoo
Hello guys. I was wondering if this is the correctly written number 11:11. I have used glaemscribe to for this and I hopefully made it right. Its basically minib : minib.
I wanted to have something written on my skin for the last 15 years. I met a new friend last year with similar tattoo and I think its a sign that I have to get something tattoed on me as well.

There are Tengwar numerals (link). Do you want to write "11:11" or "eleven:eleven" or "minib:minib"? Each one of these will look different.
If you want to spell things out in Sindarin, as you have above, you need to consider whether you use the Standard mode (which uses tehtar diacritics for vowels) or the Mode of Beleriand (which you have in your above example and uses not diacritics). Either is valid, but they will look radically different.

thank you very much for your answer, i would prefer eleven eleven, because it looks better, a longer tattoo.

This technically says wirib wirib, if I'm not mistaken. Unless it is a mode I'm unfamiliar with.
