Hmm, never thought about the Yod thing in the second one -- but I think you're right. I was actually leaning towards the first or third one, but happened to see the second one yesterday and kind of dig it. The artist I'm going to see is very good and has done hebrew tattoos before, so I'm not too concerned. He's also going to stencil it out before he does tattooing, so I'll be sure to watch for the mem sofit / samekh issue. I'll post pics when it's complete! :) Hey Andrew (and Michelle), thanks for commenting! Hmm, never thought about the Yod thing in the second one — but I think you’re right.

I was thinking that it has an awful lot of black ink to fill in. She also pointed out that unless the artist is really careful, the mem in third example could start looking like a samekh. (Michelle might be a bit skittish about the issue because last week was full of graphic designers making mistakes with Hebrew letters and others skipping the proofing step before doing the work.)
