A properly written ornament would say it all to a good reader, and that's how it should be written, IMO.

Something like this: (Note, the spacing is a little too wide in this example. You could try putting the grace notes closer together and closer to the B.)

Is there a better way to write it without that ornament?

Because I talked to the tattoo artist and he mentioned they would have to redo my "repeat and fade," which I wanted him to do anyway using a more stylized font. But he said the writing was too small and cramped for them to accurately tattoo, at least that's what I inferred from what was said.

So, that ornament might be a little TOO small to tattoo well.

I told him I might need to make changes and he said to let him know ASAP if I do.
