Hello, I was wondering if anybody is familiar with an old irish gaelic font that reads "Le mo ghrása mise, agus liomsa mo ghrá" for a tattoo?

Also, wondering if anybody is familiar with the Ogham alphabet? I was thinking of getting a tattoo of a person's name and was wondering if there was a way to write it out in that style depending on the phonetics of the name?

Thanks so much!

That quote is from the Song of Songs (Protestant "Song of Solomon"): I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine.

Le mo ġrása mise, agus liomsa mo ġrá

Traditional orthography:
Le mo ġráḋ-sa mise, agus liom-sa mo ġráḋ

You may find this of use for the Ogham:
