Unique font from tattoo shop. Faded and difficult to read.

Featured Replies

Just looking for this font to properly touch up tattoo and have for future reference.  I received this in 2008 in Salt Lake City.  The artist of coarse just pulled it off of the internet.  The shop is gone now.  The "U" on the middle finger and "L" on the pinky are quit unique but it feels like this may be more difficult than easy.  It says "Under" (Middle), "Ground" (Ring), "Life" (Pinky).  The "D's" look like a half note with a flag just like in sheet music (except the flag wouldn't be there of coarse).  Besides the first letters everything looks like lowercase except the "F", in my eye it has an uppercase appearance.  I could be way off here but at least some of it reminds me of an Asian style, Chinese or Japanese.   I'v included my own drawing of a few letters just to aid, though I am no artist.

Given the erosion of shapes due to various factors, it is impossible to determine what the original artist used as a reference for the art, if any. An experienced tattooist could probably touch it up reasonably well.

I agree.  Its probably impossible and there are certainly artists that can touch it up.  But he did have a reference, he found this font on the internet trying to match the custom I brought in.  And personally I just enjoy the font so I'll keep looking.  Thanks.

This is pure guess work from an over active creative mind, fuelled by rice wine and beer. From your rough (and it is rough) sketch and your description where you say "Asian, Chinese or Japanese".

Take a look at "Sho" from Adobe.

This might at least get someone else's creative typographical juices flowing.

There are a few letters from the Milk Shake Fraise font that are almost identical such as the capital "L" and lower case "r".  I wonder if anybody knows a similar font to this bizarrely named font.
