I would suggest the period-appropriate Baskerville, Steph.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I do like Baskerville. I definitely want a serif font, I know that much.
The phlebotomist who took my blood yesterday (to bring everything together) had a tattoo in what I would consider a "significant" font, heavy and dark and lots of serifs, and what I could read of it said something about happiness in the dark, and I asked to read the rest and it was such a letdown. It was some sort of weird joke, about getting up and turning on the light. People! Don't use a significant font, permanently, on your arm, for a joke!
I can't get a tattoo because of the psoriasis, so I'm jealous of your tattoo having ways, Steph.

"The font used for the musical title in the poster is Trajan, which is an elegant old style serif typeface designed in 1989 by Carol Twombly for Adobe. For the font setting the text "An American Musical", it looks like Gotham Bold Condensed."
Hmmm, I also like Trajan. See? This is why it's a dilemma for me!
Steph, take a look at dafont.com. There's a setting for "custom" at the top of the page, and that lets you type your own text and see what it looks like in any given font.
It's how we decided on the base font for my tattoos. (I say "base", because of course Mr. Loomy customized it for each phrase.)
Excellent. Thanks, Jilli!
Deena, so much ~ma for your dad. My mom had recurring pneumonia for years. So frustrating and difficult to get rid of in the elderly.
Much health~ma for your father, Deena.
Thanks Laura and Calli. I just heard from Mom that he's doing better.
I really like dafont.com for interesting textual stuff.
