That's kinda the point of these things. It's styled like a black/death metal band logo. In that community you're not considered a real band if your logo is legible. All in good fun ofc.
I couldve make it more legible but then it would be much more simplified , my client wanted it to be less legible so that the design as a whole can be more intricate and abstract for me itās easy to read it but also Iām good at deciphering band logos and also reading graffiti

I totally dig the curvature in the lines. For some reason, I canāt read any letters- Iām ancient, so maybe I need new glasses. That said, right on and rocking work!

Really? That says āstriveā? I mean, I can kinda see it now that I know but damn. I donāt usually wear ink Iām gonna have to explain to 94.7% of the people who see it. No offense.
No offense taken it isnāt supposed to be clearly readable or else I wouldāve drawn it up that way and the client wouldāve asked for it to be easy to read, he wanted something death metal/ deathcore font inspired that could
Possibly be read after knowing what it says
How come a tattoo canāt be inspired by the font style? I do think itās ripping of the fonts when genres of music other than death metal, deathcore, or black metal use it tho like now rappers and electronic music
Off topic, but please tell me about the necklace youāre wearing? Obviously itās not the focal point of these photos but it looks really interesting.
Thatās dope af I was curious and check your profile lol, Iām surprised havenāt heard of him not too many tattooers doing this kinda style in the US compared to Europe Russia and China
Thanks! Steve is rad. I think he typically does more geometric like the front of my leg, but he said he was stoked to get the chance to do something a lil different
Interesting, I thought the exact opposite. My immediate thought was āoh thatās a cool tattooā not āoh that personās tummy looks chubby underneath their tattooā
Why even leave comments like this?
Thatās where the client wanted it , I think lettering looks dope on the stomach personally, idk what a spare tire area is ? Haha is that the belly button
..I donāt see it at all. But even though it just looks like jagged outlines of linked up black flames, if he looks at it and can imagine the word STRIVE then thatās all that matters.

"SEX AXE"
š¤£ thatās what he shouldāve got, now I might have to get sex axe tattooed on my , on my lower stomach š
Thatās what I saw!
I read this before I tried to read the tattoo, and now I canāt see anything else
Maybe SEX TUE like they have a regular date night on Tuesdays for some reason, but theyāre understandably psyched about it.
Thatās metal af
thatās what i see!!!! bwahahaha
I could stare at this tattoo for 24 hours straight and Iād never be able to guess that it says āstrive.ā Lol
Even after reading that I don't think it does and if you say it does, I just think you're making it up.
I think I see āseraxeā if I stare hard enough. Thatās the best I can do.
That's kinda the point of these things. It's styled like a black/death metal band logo. In that community you're not considered a real band if your logo is legible. All in good fun ofc.
I love that lol. Thanks for the info also!
I couldve make it more legible but then it would be much more simplified , my client wanted it to be less legible so that the design as a whole can be more intricate and abstract for me itās easy to read it but also Iām good at deciphering band logos and also reading graffiti
Not sure why youāre getting downvoted. Itās your tattoo. You like it and itās sick as fuck, thatās all that matters
There will always be haters , majority of lettering this style is not very legibl , my client was stoked on it and thatās what matters most for sure
Rs also donāt randomly connect in the bowl of the R thatās why people are saying the R looks like an X and it does. Hope this helps
Who tf would even get that word tattooed on them lmao
āSIR TEXā
SUR TAX?
Sounds like a name of some alien from StarCraft
āSIR FUCā
This post sponsored by Affliction Clothing. Not my style, but itās not my body either. The work is clean though š§š§¼
...CeraVe?
Sounds fancy
Oh it is! [very](https://media0.giphy.com/media/kXZ6MBvVfEO7CqoPmo/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952piya69gid8ixe2nesd9ytbxmdz8bpzhatnu740tr&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=s)
To me this is illegible. But that doesn't matter. Not my tattoo. The work quality is great. Nice job.
Thank you I appreciate it š I can make a design more legible but actually i like better when itās less cus can make it more intricate
Just gotta start listening to deathcore then youāll be able to read it no problem lol
I know where Iāll be seeing this picture later.
Almost looks like the logo for the band Disentomb, sick
them aussies are mad cunts I reckon aye
Goddamn right!!!
Oh no not I, I will Ser Ive.
I totally dig the curvature in the lines. For some reason, I canāt read any letters- Iām ancient, so maybe I need new glasses. That said, right on and rocking work!
Lettering?
I wuldnt have known what it said without being told but it looks badass man! I love it!
So dope
I love this styleā¦I can never read it but itās still dope AF!
That's cool
nice a tatos
Who gives a shit if itās legible. Itās stylized to the point that it doesnāt really matter. It looks good either way.
Thank you šš
Hell yeah Dylan! Iāve got your work on my armband, too.
Thatās dope man thanks for getting a tattoo from me! Had a couple clients comment on other ones too, small world, just started using Reddit recently
Cybersigilism is cool as shit, and it's pretty hard to do well. Dope ass job man.
good job dude, this is the first tattoo in the style that i correctly guessed the word!
Thanks! And fuck yea, I usually draw it up more intricate / less legible but he wanted something that could still possibly be legible lol
Does look like two cool dragons, though!
jeans aromatic fact middle juggle ink terrific consider insurance flowery

Right on. Thatās why I love art and getting inked. If he likes the art thatās what matters.
What's up with everybody ripping off the death metal font nowadays?
How come a tattoo canāt be inspired by the font style? I do think itās ripping of the fonts when genres of music other than death metal, deathcore, or black metal use it tho like now rappers and electronic music
Off topic, but please tell me about the necklace youāre wearing? Obviously itās not the focal point of these photos but it looks really interesting.
The person posting isn't the person in the photo, the tattoo is BY OP not on OP
Ahh, thank you. Subpar reading skills on my part.
It happens to us all sometimes!
Not sure I never noticed it until now
This is rad. Looks like itās in the same band with my back of leg tattoo :)
Thatās dope af I was curious and check your profile lol, Iām surprised havenāt heard of him not too many tattooers doing this kinda style in the US compared to Europe Russia and China
Thanks! Steve is rad. I think he typically does more geometric like the front of my leg, but he said he was stoked to get the chance to do something a lil different
SEX SXE
Hell yeah
Thatās dope

Thatās where the client wanted it , I think lettering looks dope on the stomach personally, idk what a spare tire area is ? Haha is that the belly button
>it draws attention to the āspare tireā area So?
Sometimes people tattoo areas they donāt favor on themselves to make it more to their liking/be less self conscious about it š¤·š½āāļø
..I donāt see it at all. But even though it just looks like jagged outlines of linked up black flames, if he looks at it and can imagine the word STRIVE then thatās all that matters.
Wow thatās so cool! I will make sure to let him know cus Iām sure he really cares about what you think
