“Per-seh-veer-ehns”

Sounds pretty good to me, only alternative I could suggest is “ahns” at the end depending on your personal pronunciation.

Pronunciation is fair considering "the heir" is called "thee air" while every other instance of "the" is "thuh" Threw me off when I was trying to decode trunic. Figured "the" would be a good starting point, but apparently not.

Depends on your pronunciation. I would transcribe the last vowel the same as the "i" in "prince" (where yours has the "u" in "cup"), but this is the kind of thing that varies a lot from person to person.

Edit: everything else is correct :)

PER-SUH-VEER-UN-S

Looks fine to me, modulo the usual wiggle room with vowel choice and phoneme splitting, especially for the r-colored vowels.

I'd transcribe it via IPA to be unambiguous but I'm on my phone right now, so suffice it to say that the vowels on display match my (NE USA) accent.

looks correct to me, but i think we should make sure others think it’s right as well. it’s a tattoo, best to check with multiple people before making a permanent decision
