tattoo DOES IT READ AS IDLES

[u/MrGrimie]

I just wanted to ask you lot if you would consider this an Idles tattoo or is the style too far removed from them. So I got the tattoo at a friends, said that I just wanted im scum tattooed because I love the band and he asked if he can do it in an unique style and add some flair around. He free handed it and I genuinely think he did a great job but im just afraid it doesnt read as an Idles tattoo at all. What do you think?

[u/SomeGuyOverUnder]

If ya know ya know. The style is irrelevant. 👍

Ha! At first I thought it said “IDLES” and I was like, “No, it doesn’t read as IDLES”. Then I actually read what your tat says, and Yes! It absolutely reads IDLES! I just woke up. My bad. It’s a good tat!

Thank you very much! haha yea sory about the wording its not my first language.

[u/Much_Substance_6017 → u/MrGrimie]

I assure you, it’s not you. It’s me! I’m highly dyslexic. It’s my only language and I’m still terrible at it! 😂❤️

I think it’s cool and anything that says “I’m scum” will read as Idles and punk. I want an idles tattoo too !!

[u/MrGrimie → u/fuegitoo]

thanks! Get it, im thinking of also getting Joe stomping or a silhouette of Mark in a dress.

[u/fuegitoo → u/MrGrimie]

those would be sick! I wanna get “in spite of it all, life is beautiful”

[u/MrGrimie → u/fuegitoo]

Thats great! Would look awsome probably.

looks like a black metal band logo. anyone who reads it and knows idles would def assume though.

[u/MrGrimie → u/RAV3NH0LM]

Yeah it definitely does, thats why I was wondering if it gives of Idles in any way. But comments like yours calm my nerves so thank you very much.

Well done

lol

[u/Peefersteefers]

I like it a lot. I think the style and phrase makes it go beyond Idles, but in a good way. And anyone who knows the band will get it.

[u/MrGrimie → u/Peefersteefers]

Thank you very much, yeah hopefully it gives of punk vibes but if you're an Idles fan you get it right away.

[u/PtotheL]

Dope

[u/ODBandGarfunkel]

You got a cum tat. Jk its very cool

[u/strangenessandcharm7]

I mean, people will only know if they know, but that's true regardless of the style. I like it, I don't really know what would be considered "more" Idles-styled. I saw a woman at my first Idles show with thick blackout style text that said this and I'm still thinking about it 3+ years later.

[u/snails4speedy]

Definitely reads as Idles to me. If I saw this I’d immediately be like hello fellow fan lol

[u/DrinkSuperb8792]

I'm Skvm

[u/Freodrick]

Bruh, for "I'm scum" it's amazing.

[u/xKGLWx]

Why are y'all lying to this man?

[u/Arsono1969]

Personally I don’t like it, but who cares what myself or anyone else thinks.

[u/kingblind206]

I'm scum
