Definitely legible if you know the script. I know some but not all of the letters. For example in this pic it says "Salvation" across the Salvation Ink's belly. http://www.flickr.com/photos/... The script across the belly of the SDCC Rebel Ink is a super clear "SDCC". Trouble is I'm almost certain the word across the bottom of the Rebel Ink back tattoo is not English. I think it is Spanish or Latin. In either case the words written in the upper arch between the shoulders and the mitre (pope's hat) are written in clear roman characters and say "Contraste Organico". You should be able to see if those letters are mirror print or regular.
Not the font. That's an Usugrow original. They are roman letters though but written in a really funky style. I got it now though. The letters across the bottom of the back say "INKFORLIFE". Makes sense eh. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I2V...
Wow, Yadarm, you're the greatest. Totally see it now. But what's that sentence underneath? Extremely small lettering! (I feel like a complete (old) idiot now, used to do graff myself and decode funky letters. Look where it brought me!)
Grrr, bloody hell Elissa, I was JUST going to say that. Spent ages on it too, ha. And I reckon the second line starts with: PAIN GROW MY - - - - - - - -
EDIT - see you've done it again just as I was typing!
Also just looked on google and saw it mentioned that he seems to write "6senseed" on things... so maybe that's the last bit? Though it doesn't make any sense.
:D anyway, I think I'm going to go to sleep. More companies should have epic codes to figure out, even if they don't really mean much to you when they've been decoded... :D
One black (or chocolate) Rebel Ink would be nice. First time bumped into them when I got the "I Am Plastic Too"-book for Xmas. Good book for anyone to have by the way.
I cannot find a complete alphabet of Usugrow's font. That may be purposefully done on his part. I'd love to have that font in my word processing software! The pic you just posted ToyPunkJan is one of two versions of the design. One has roman (regular alphabet) for the "Contraste Organico" but a different version has the Usugrow font. I'm off to work but I'll try to post links to both versions after I get back tonight.
Got mine today & Super happy with it too. Apparently the White one with the Silver Tampo was only available at SB in their Token Machine (not sure what that is) and its called the 'Golden Week' edition. Either way, it looks great!
This is different than the one they just released through their token machine. The token machine RI was the GiD one with silver print. The deal was they have what is basically a gatchapon machine and you'd turn the crank and out would pop a token. The token would determine which toy you got.
Hey Yardarm, sorry I meant this was the first token machine release (a fair few years ago now) the one your on about was released on Christmas Day 2012 and was a Double Poured G.I.D.. The Silver print was the standard mail order release and the Gold print was the Store only release. I managed to get the Silver print but I'm guessing the Gold print is gonna cost me ;)

:D I Googled 'senseed Usugrow' and it came up with something about 6 senseed. So the thing could read: Ink bring me pain. Pain grow my 6 senseed.

Yep I agree, I got all that line apart from the 'reflecting / deflecting' word bit.
I'd not really heard of Usugrow before all this and now like his artwork, so ordered the "Love Hate From Jp" book.
