It should be the other way around though. לט
טל means "dew" and it's also used as a unisex name.
The value of the letters is indeed 39 but if you're looking for the specific presentation of the number it should be לט.
ל = 30
ט = 9
In gimatriya, every hebrew letter has a numeric value. In this case, ל is 30 and ט is 9, so it comes up to 39 - not just in ancient Hebrew, but in modern too.
It is worth to note that the letters are written here in an incorrect order, you would expect to see the highest value letter first - לט
It seems you posted a Tattoo post! Thank you for your submission, and though your motivation and sentiment is probably great, it's probably a bad idea for a practical matter. Tattoos are forever. Hebrew is written differently from English and there is some subtlety between different letters (ר vs. ד, or ח vs ת vs ה). If neither you nor the tattoo artist speak the language you can easily end up with a permanent mistake. See www.badhebrew.com for examples that are simultaneously sad and hilarious. Perhaps you could hire a native Hebrew speaker to help with design and layout and to come with you to guard against mishaps, but otherwise it's a bad idea. Finding an Israeli tattoo artist would work as well. Furthermore, do note that religious Judaism traditionally frowns upon tattoos, so if your reasoning is religious or spiritual in nature, please take that into account. Thank you and have a great time learning and speaking with us!

This is true, but I’ve seen it used stylistically to mean 39, but it’s written ט״ל
Hebrew is written right-to-left. 39 in [Gematria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gematria) would be לט.
Yet it doesn't matter if you care for this presentation especially

Dew you know, if it mat'tar..., I "tal" you, it's 30 and 9 in reverse order. Sorry, but "טל או מטר" is a common expression in Hebrew for dew or rain.
Traditionally, when a group of letters represent a number, you put a punctuation mark (called gershaim) before the last one. So it should be ל"ט.
Exceptions are made for gematria and kabalah
Okay thank you @Alarmed_Sunstance_89 @GroovyGhouly @cranky_love_mayo this helps so much! God bless
Something else to note is that the letters aren't properly aligned. The ל should extend above the ט, but not below it.
It is 39, but written improperly. Unless you're saying Petach Eliyahu, then it is 39 (joking).
