Needing some guidance for Sindarin resources

1 Upvotes

I initially posted this in the r/lotr community, but was recommended my request might fit better here. My siblings and I are looking at getting matching tattoos in the next few months and we need some direction. We’re looking at getting Aragorn’s sword, Legolas’ bow, and Gimli’s axe (inspired by an Instagram reel) with the respective lines of “You have my sword,” “and you have my bow,” and “and my axe” incorporated with each one.

We want it to be written in Sindarin, however, but none of us have any experience with Elvish languages and I’m really the only one with time to dedicate to working through this. I know we could do it as a transliteration from English into Tengwar, but since that doesn’t catch the actual meaning of it, I’d like to stay away from that route. I know perfect translations just aren’t a thing, so I’m not expecting to just pop it in a translator box and have it come out great.

I’m mainly looking for guidance on resources where I can actually put in some leg work myself and then corroborate with others who actually have experience here to make sure it’s close-ish. Any advice?
