So. For those of you who have a tattoo or tattoos, how did you decide what to get and where? I'm kinda considering it but I haven't decided yet on what I want. Or where.

Maybe matching with a friend? I dunno. But it seems like everyone's calmed down from Halloween celebrations and all.

you gotta want it for a long time

[archie's back tat of kyogre is kind of tacky in hindsight, unfortunately, but he loves it nonetheless.]

though impulse ones are good too
basically just do whatever you want it's your skin

[dejerate]

I figure as much. Since they're permanent. Or,
that getting them removed is apparently just as if not more painful?

But that's true. I know it's just for me. I'd probably just get something small, if it was somewhere more noticeable.

yeah best not to go big for your first ones
when i was a kid i wanted to get sleeves on both my arms so i'd look scary
glad i'm past that

[dejerate]

They'd do something that big in multiple sessions though, right? Not all at once?

Re: text

[h2no]

oh yeah they would, you probably wouldn't even get one on your first visit if its a good place
which just means i was lucky that i didn't start and change my mind half way through
anyway try a bunch of different places and tell me if you find a good one

[fuckalligators]

i got a scar on my forehead and my sis was like try wearing ur hair to hide it

so i tattood it instead

no regrets tbh her reaction was priceless

[dejerate]

You -- what?

[fuckalligators]

[she attaches a selfie showing off what is definitely... a thin vertical rectangle tattooed on her forehead, with a matching one on her chin. why this.]

did the chin too

[dejerate]

Seriously? I'm not sure I get it,
but I think I saw some had done stuff with their scars with tattoos. Just not an option for me.

[voice]

[allforyuu]

A tattoo?

[voice]

[dejerate]

Yeah. You know, I mean, assuming it'd take, with the vampire healing, anyway. Someone mentioned I could get one now I'm eighteen. I know they're permanent, so I wouldn't get something that impulsive or whatever, but. I kinda like the idea? Just need to decide what to get.

[voice]

[allforyuu]

There's no way of knowing before trying. It may heal around it.

[A pause.]

What draws you to the idea?

[voice]

[dejerate]

I hope not. That'd seem like a waste. But you're right. No way to be sure until we try I guess. I just figure I could get one now without them pestering about parental permission or whatever and some people have some interesting stories about their tattoos. And they can look awesome. Depending on the tattoo, I mean.

what do you want a tattoo for?

text;

[dejerate]

I turned eighteen. Apparently I can now get one.
Like I would have needed parents permission before or something. Like they could figure that when my parents are dead and Guren is.....wherever, back home.

[secondscythe]

parents suck, yo.
but like
that shit's permanent
so you better choose wisely.

[dejerate]

Well, yeah. I know it'd be there forever. Why I'm not just rushing out to get the first half-brained idea I come up with tattooed.

[am_i_a_monster]

I have that tattoo on my wrist they gave us. It wasn't my decision though.

text

[dejerate]

You mean at the hospital place you mentioned?
Even the bloodsuckers didn't tattoo us when they herded us underground.

text

[am_i_a_monster]

No, I meant the glow-in-the-dark ones they give us imports.

text

[dejerate]

Wasn't counting those since we all have them. But you're right that they're tattoos as well. Just regarding our imPort status.

[youresovein]

Would that even work?

[dejerate]

Dunno. It might or it might just heal over, nothing for it but to try and see if it takes or not.

[youresovein]

I admit I'm curious. I always assumed it would vanish.

Why do you want one if you don't have anything in mind?

[dejerate]

Well, I'm still thinking on what I want. But it looks neat. And it doesn't have to be anything big or really obvious either. It's just something for you. Something you care about.
Something with you forever. That's pretty powerful.

[And sentimental? Possibly. Depending on the tattoo. Which his probably would be.]
