So I've been agonising over this for a night and a day now, and it's time to get second opinions.

I'm getting a tattoo of a latin phrase on my lower back in Black Letter Calligraphy (http://www.calligraphy-service.com/Black%20Letter%20Alphabet.jpg).

The phrase is, "Damnant quod non intellegunt". Now, I simply cannot decide whether I should have a capital 'D' or a lowercase 'D'.

A capital 'D' looks natural and everything, because everyone knows that in the english language, the first letter of a sentence is capitalised.

But my tattoo is supposed to be art.. you're meant to look at it like you would at art, it's meant to be aesthetically pleasing rather than meant to be read. So maybe the capital 'D', then, would make the phrase look asymmetrical. BUT I really like how the capital 'D' looks.. so I can't decide what to do.

Opinions please? Do you think a capital 'D' would look asymmetrical?

Note: I do not want opinions about the nature/content of my tattoo.

i like it capitalise.
but.
id say art tbh.
personally i think it would look better.

You think what would look better?

Sorry. i just re-read that and realised i hadn't finished.
i think the lower would look better.

Yeah, that's what I thought too..

But goddamn, the capital 'D' is just so beautiful, I want it on me. This (http://images.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://www.calligraphy-service.com/Black%2520Letter%2520Alphabet.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.calligraphy-service.com/styles.htm&h=480&w=334&sz=45&hl=en&start=5&tbnid=iRKQ4mH_XsEnzM:&tbnh=129&tbnw=90&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblack%2Bletter%2Bcalligraphy%2B%2522A %2522%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG) is the 'D' I'd use if I went with uppercase (the gothic font, down the bottom).. it's so lovely.

lower-cased would look better in my opinion.

Hmm.
Now i see what you mean.
The capitol D would look beautifull.
Hmm.
Im still going with the lower case i think.

I vote, lowercase.
