I figured it out!! I read arabic, and i am also a designer, so i know that this is an english font that is made from arabic script (i hope this makes sense). If you try to ignore the arabic script and read the words from left-to-right as in english you’ll read the words “Embrace” and “Suck”. Ignore all dots and try to read each letter and you’ll eventually see it. Let me know if you do.

i feel like it does say embrace the suck (based on the movie). early in the movie kyle makes a comment about how people should just embrace the suck. he was being egotistical, and to teach him a lesson when the witch made him unattractive i guess she thought it’d be funny to make his eyebrows say “embrace suck”. he was talking about how some people are ugly and they might as well embrace the suck.

It is Arabic and it says “my eye” on the left eye and something about cursed on the right but its faded.

On the campaign posters at the beginning of the movie the “witch” character had written the words “Why embrace the suck” over his picture. I am sure it is a play on that phrase.

If you watch the DVD extras there are early “beast” concepts have “embrace the suck” on his neck. Also the director talks about wanting his looks to include the things he said about “ugly” people. So my guess is that it’s just embrace suck written in a Arabic style font.

When I saw it I thought arabic. But then I google pictures (and found this) and saw embrace and suck. I think it’s because he had said eMbrace the suck. And that’s what the witch lady told him.

Ali is right! I can also read Arabic and this is definitely Arabic.
I am also having difficulty reading it though.
I think the first word on the right is la3any is in “cursed me” but I can’t read the other one.

I’m still convinced it’s just pretty script with fancy accents and curlicues and that it reads Embrace Suck. lol It’s just too convenient! Though if it really is Arabic… I wonder if it will be explained in the movie? That would be nice.

i noticed the eyebrows as well… i thought the letters seemed funny. i saw the accents above some of the letters and i really would like to know what they mean as well.
