O/T, need help finding good web site...

I need help in finding good authentic websites showing both Aramaic and Hebrew alphabets.
If anyone can help, that'd be great! I'm compiling what I want to give to my tatt guy.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much Goblin, that's great! Now all I need is Aramaic. I have a feeling that's going to be harder, LOL.

Mel,
Aramaic is the same writing as hebrew.
Yours truly,
The token Jew 
Here is the original Aramaic/Hebrew
Developed into this:

Ah! Thank you so much Eric! I did not know that... 
Anyway, I think it is just beautiful writing, and I've decided to use it, instead of Sanskrit, for the names I'm going to have tattooed.
How though, would I write these names??
Jesse
Lily
Elijah
Doesn't Hebrew not have any vowels?

Remember, in Hebrew we write/read right to left
Jesse: JESSE is from the Hebrew word SHAI meaning GIFT. spell it like this: YUD SHIN YUD
Lily: Not Hebrew...2/3 ain't bad write it this way LAMED LAMED YUD
Elijah : ELIJAH is a version of the Hebrew ELIYAHU which means
"the Lord is my God"spell it like this ALEPH LAMED YUD HEY VAV
Doesn't Hebrew not have any vowels?
It does but it is not necessary for this......another lesson

Look at what I previously showed you and match them to the transliterated names.
Gonna be sweet!!!

Thx Eric. I tried Lily, and it gave me these Hebrew names:
1 chavatzelet
2 nitza
3 shoshan
4 shoshana
I don't understand, which one would I use?  I need to have Lily's name on there, of course. Perhaps I'll just use the translations you did for me. Would this be right?...
It's a crude cut and paste job, and I would have Hoss (my tat guy) write the letters closer together, but I just want to get it right.
TY so much for being so patient with me!

Jesse is correct. You can't go wrong because it is spelled the same way regardless 
Elijah and Lily both need to be reversed.
The way you spelled it would be comparable to this:
Hajile and Ylil
Take the letters and just flip it. Then you are correct.
Start Right >>>>>>Left
Hope this was clear.

Ex2 --
Did you ever read the book "Israel is 40"? Or rather....it's not a book to read really - it's a Hebrew songbook.
That's the first one I was taught to read and was always amused that the cover was on the 'back' so to speak!
So then because my aunt and uncle were responsible for my Hebrew education - I used to write them letters in English - but from right to left. Don't ask me why - I probably found it amusing!
Never really did get very far with the learning Hebrew bit! I always wished I'd had, but I think I was too young to concentrate on it much! LOL

E-dub, did you see the movie, "Pi"? I thought the mathematical patterns in Hebrew were fascinating... I don't know enough about it to know if what they were talking about is accurate or not, but if it is, it's very compelling.

Still have not seen it, however numerology in judaism runs deep. It is very possible that it is accurate.

E - I didn't know that you were the token Jew! I learned Hebrew in Seminary (reading knowledge anyway), and I love it. I loved it more that Greek for sure. But, I haven't kept up on it like I should. Shalom,

I was talking to a student at the college today who studies Hebrew Bible, and she make the suggestion that you could do the Hebrew word of Lily, as in the flower. Transliterated it would be: shoshan. I can probably do the Hebrew if you are interested.
Also, you can download a Hebrew font here:

Mel, its going to be beautiful!!!I can't wait to see pics, where and when?
One thing to bear in mind as I was researching doing my son's name is beware of the sites that claim translation, I went to a Chinese co-worker and had him translate and write Jonahs name for me as many sites are incorrect. If you can go to a source who can do it for you otherwise, you could be "lost in tanslation"

Thanks so much everyone!
Casey- That must be where the "shoshan" came from when I tried to translate her name on the website Eric gave me. What do you mean by "do the Hebrew"? Do you mean draw it onto paper and then scan it for me? If so, that would be so AWESOME! 
Coots- At the moment, I am waiting to hear back from Ramon to see if he can draw me a cross that I want. I'd like it to be in shades of green with a white/silver "roping" in the center. I sketched out onto paper what I want, but it looks silly, LOL. The names I will be putting beneath the cross. I thought about having them on my chest, or beneath my tiger, but decided that beneath the cross seems to just "fit".
Andrea- Thank you so much hon! As for getting it right, that's why I'm asking for advice. I want to get as much info. down of the accurate writing as possible. This will be on me for life, so I better not fuck it up!
You guys are great!

I think Casey meant if you are doing all Hebrew names then do Lily in the Hebrew version.
I would stick to Lily just transliterated into Hebrew letters.
Jesse & Elijah are both Hebrew names while Lily is Latin I think.
That would be like calling me Enrique just because my spanish teacher decided that was the closest.
How do you want them designed?
Are you going to incorporate them into your other tat or around it?
I'd love to dabble with th caligraphy.
Gonna do it anyway just for fun
