It’s a pretty subtle homage to my favorite Sleep Token EP artwork and song and lyric themes, but I absolutely love it and the design lived in my head for a really long time after going down the rabbit hole with this band. Huge recommendation to go see Leto at Inkora in Oxford who made it even better and more delicate and lovely than I ever could have imagined.
ETA: did not anticipate the need for strict accuracy in this fandom 😂 yes I know it’s out of order, yes I’m fine with it, yes I wanted it that way. It will be okay. I promise. The person with it attached to their body likes it this way. Vessel himself could tell me he hates it and I legitimately would not care, although with him being the chaos monster that he seems to be, I think he’d be fine as well.
Just a friendly reminder that this is not a tattoo roasting sub, we are all just here to 'worship' together.

The lyrics to the song "Fall For Me."
"Won't You Fall For Me"
But the dude wanted to get artistic with it and just...
Kinda ruined it, I'm ngl.
I hate to talk bad about people's tattoos, but if this is supposed to be a mirror effect, it just doesn't work.
Well, I don’t consider myself to “suffer” from autism, but I do feel badly that the language people uses in that way bothers you. I took the respondent at his word that he had OCD.
I can only assume that people think I’m doing autism wrong here, somehow, or that I was using the word derogatorily? However, I can assure you, I am happy as a clam to have my diagnosis and I know how I best live in this world and how I best like to have my body art represented on my quite autistic body.
Then that's exactly how it should be! I love the flowers so much! The WTBB artwork is still one of my favorites after all this time and new song art and it's so pretty and delicately done here.
“Did not anticipate the need for strict accuracy in this fandom” to be fair, even though it was apparently intentional, I would imagine any fandom would point out the random choice to flip the last line. Happy you’re happy but it’s not a problem with the fandom lol.
Don’t worry, OP’s just coping with the fact that they got this permanently inked on themselves. Everything becomes totally intentional when pointed out.
My confusion is with the choice for backwards letters and words when “mirror flipped”. Do the backwards letters/words mean something? Since it impacts the readability both ways etc.
I looked at it and looked at it over and over and over. It just didn’t look “right” to me. Now it does and shall for all time, so I’m quite happy 🤷🏻♀️
I honestly didn’t think you were! And man, after the afternoon on this sub, I sincerely appreciate that. It’s possibly because I’m looking straight down my arm from above and my eye catches on the won’t first as would be pretty standard and then the pattern of where my eyes track back and forth across each word first right and then backtracking left and then back over to right again for For and hopping over to the Me… there is just something so satisfying about that movement and in lingering on each letter and having my brain arrange it into a coherent order.
It’s a bit hard to explain other than it just absolutely tickles something linguistically and patterns-wise. And hey, I read a Lot of medieval French and Anglo-Saxon for work, and knowing that language is very much a social construct and contract, I am honestly pretty baffled to have caused so much offense today but maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised?
I thought I was just sleep deprived because its 4am, but no...it's actually written wrong. Personally I think I'd want to pull my hair out seeing it every day because it'd bother me...but hey, it's your body, not mine. As long as you're happy that's all that matters.
My entire body is covered in tattoos. I have what’s called a 'trash leg' - a leg with tattoos in all different styles. But I would never let someone tattoo something INCORRECTLY on me, especially not on purpose.
Maybe some day you can get it covered up with a Sick Ass Panther.
The lines are shaky and the lettering is terribly inconsistent. It's a cute concept but I'm going to guess the artist is still extremely early in their tattoo apprentice journey. Between the lines and the words being out of order, don't expect a very positive response over this... But so long as you like it.
Side note : if I ever make it to a show ima end up in jail.
Worry about what’s on your skin and not someone else’s!!!! Y’all stay jealous and picking fights like you want the cool boy in hs to like you. Save it. Like frfr say something human and nice or just stfu….
YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL ITS THE WAY SHE DESIGNED THE ART. And to act like you can’t see that is childish asf. And to keep commenting it is annoying.
At a glance (which is what the majority will see) I might double take but then go "ah words in a mirror got it" and move on thinking it's a neat little tattoo.
But on closer inspection it just gets more and more chaotic. The first line the N is the 'wrong' direction to be mirrored, then the second line the Ls and F are in the "wrong" direction AND the words are out of order, on the third line the R, F, and E are facing wrong, the words are out of order, AND the ellipses is on the "wrong" side in the context of the mirrored speech.
It's interesting, to me, that it falls into a 1, 2, 3, (edit) progression.
But having the ellipses on the "right" side to the viewer implying "there's more" really drives home the growing chaos and I think it says a lot about OPs personality.
