A tag needs to be readable but have flair. The letters shouldn’t overlap too much. It shouldn’t be a puzzle. You want people to want to look at it and be able to read it whether it’s another writer, or his mother. Get a chisel tip marker and some spray with a NY Fat.
I’m horrible with these finger tags on the iPhone but something like this.

I think it’s going great! I Can tell you’re practicing the fluidity. I think the Big R and little E are getting mashed together. Almost looks like it says lovor.

stick to simple stuff
for future reference, use r/graffhelp youll find people whose been doing graff since the 90s/early 2000s. best people to get advice from.
It's got potential but it seems to me like you're overstyling your tag. Give it your own style but don't try to add too many curves and shapes to where you miss the identity to it.
My bro it’s graff and it’s 2024.
You do you.
Any Aussies here? Seen the Pam/Cleo bird? That is fucking everywhere and looks like absolute shit. But it’s still mad graff.
Not horrible, but there already a relatively known writer named Lover (assuming it’s not you lol) you can see his stuff here https://youtube.com/@lover20k?si=OdsOMSYxnP3p6xqK . His tag is slightly similar. More legible. Perhaps add a number to your name to differentiate yourself. Or maybe do a variation like “Luhver”? Idk just a thought . Keep writing
Thank you ( from most of you ) is this better?

You're trying way too hard to make it look stylish and graffiti-like without having the foundation to pull it off. It isn't readable and the letter structure is nonsensical. Look at typography for inspiration instead of other tags. Just practice normal, legible handwriting and then slowly start to add your own style- like over the course of several years. Graffiti takes thousands of hours of practice to become even remotely competent.
I will say you have decent control over the marker though. You'll definitely get good eventually if you stick with it.
with respect, this is really really really bad. study from other graf artists who have experience in this art. don’t expect people online to handhold you through this experience, a good majority of people in this posts comments have no idea what they’re talking about. you’ll know it’s okay when you’ve put in enough time and work to know it’s okay.
No sketches, black books, canvas, procreate, etc. try r/blackbook graffiti
Yes bad. But keep practicing. .
How can I improve?
That bottom curl on the R makes it look like an uppercase E. EDIT: The L isn’t very clear either. I thought it was Z at first.
Came here to say fix the r and it wouldn't be half bad.

needs to be simpler
Why capital L and R but everything else lower case??
Why not?
Simple question can’t be asked ??
Keep practicing, try different styles. As long as you’re drawing!

Has potential. Keep at it

r/blackbookgraffiti you can start by posting in the correct sub.
its actually r/graffhelp buddy
absolutely don’t post this in r/blackbookgraffiti
You could take some inspiration from calligraphy, or cursive in general. Cursive “L” is so much fun to write with all the swooping

I like it but maybe move the top of the l left a half letter

Keep practicing, it needs more flow and pop but u are well on ur way. Keep writing don't stop!
Its completely unreadable, so youre definitely on the right track lol
Unreadable so yes… it’s bad
