( awkward moment of realizing she's never actually posted to the network, only replied to other people. well, no time like the present. oh well. here you go, asgard: scrawny teenage girl of surely no more than 16, looking only slightly sheepish while attempting "friendly". )

So uh, question. Who here's gotten tattoos? In Asgard or before. If anyone could point me to a studio, that'd be great too.

I do. I don't know about any studio here though, but I could possibly answer questions on tattoos in general.

[And the bandages wrapped around his neck might just indicate where his tattoo is.]

( one hell of a place to get marked. or injured, for that matter, because she hasn't arrived at that conclusion yet, but she'll skip right to the questions anyway. )

Why'd you get yours?

[Video]

[notquitebeloved]

It's a custom of the school I went to.

[Close enough to the truth.]

Why do you want to get one?

[Video]

[wasbrave]

For memories.

( she shrugs. )

I've already got a few, and by now... well, this place and the people I met here are definitely important enough to leave a mark.

Regular tattoos or magic ones? [Yes, that was a legit question here.]

Video

[wasbrave]

This is the first I'm hearing about magical tattoos. What do those do?

Re: Video

[samantha_grey]

There's a long list of runes. Several can be grafted to the body of a person. It can allow magical effects now and again, generally weaker than our powers. You can fit up to six on you safely. Do you know where to find the rune lists?

Video

[wasbrave]

Yeah. Magical isn't what I'm looking for, but... got any experience with them?

Re: Video

[samantha_grey]

The magical sort? Plenty. I have a special one grafted to my spine and a full array all over my back. The normal sort, not so much. I... wasn't one for body mods back home.

[Regenerative faculties made it hard to get the ink to stick, actually.]

[wasbrave]

Tattoos and all that were pretty common where I lived. ( more like the norm. she shrugs. )

Who does the magical kind around here, in case I find an array I want after all?

[tonsofpun]

I've seen a couple of yours. Did you get more?

[Finally, Ellie ventures out from whatever hole she's been in for the past little while, ever since that hallucination event. Probably safer for everybody that she rode that one out.]

Voice;

[wasbrave]

Not yet, but I'm thinking about it.

Voice;

[tonsofpun]

What do you think you wanna get?

Voice;

[wasbrave]

I dunno yet. Something to remind me of this place, and ... well, my friends here. ( ... don't mind the sheepishness. )

Voice;

[tonsofpun]

Oh yeah? What would it look like?

[She's tempted to joke about it, but she's amazed all the same. Ellie knows Tris well enough to know that the tattoos are a very serious thing, deeply meant and important to her.]

You should speak to Desmond. He's had several more since arriving here.

video;

[wasbrave]

Thanks. I'll definitely drop him a line. I guess you're not the type for it, huh?

video;

[pushesgently]

I'm not one for marking myself.

video;

[wasbrave]

You're memorable enough as it is, I think.

video;

[pushesgently]

Should I take that as a compliment?

[Video]

[earthrhythms]

If runes count. They're sort of tattoos.

[Video]

[wasbrave]

They count. I'm looking to get a normal tattoo, but I think runes are really neat.

[Video]

[earthrhythms]

I got them from Samantha, but I don't think she does normal tattoos.

What're you getting?

[Video]

[wasbrave]

I haven't decided yet. Kinda wanna look at what the artist has done before first, see what they're good at doing, then go from there.

[Video]

[earthrhythms]

I guess that's a good idea. Probably. I mean, it's all the same to me.
