The right script/font for a Tattoo on African American skin?

I have been considering getting a tattoo for quite sometime. I want to have a phrase from ralph emerson. The problem is I have been looking online at other african american’s and there lettering tattoos and most of it doesnt seem to show up well even in black ink (which i am getting) Alot of the thinner script is kind of hard to see. So i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a script(handwritten/calligraphy) font that would show up well on a darker skin tone? Nothing too intricate and fancy.
I dont even really know my “skin tone”

It really depends on your skin tone. All of us aren’t the same color you know. I have my name written in cursive and it’s black. You can see it pretty good especially when my legs is freshly waxed and shiny. I’ve seen a lot of other black people with cursive writing too. I’m medium brown. If you’re really dark skinned then it may not show up well.
