at least youre honest

have ear piercings i dont think id get a tattoo though you can change your piercings but a tattoo is pretty fucking permanent

[zunge]

I saw no reason to pretend otherwise

ear piercings are good.

I keep wondering how often people stop liking the ink they got later on.

[teaserving]

that's the thing i just wouldnt risk it honestly
ideas that sound cool at the time but five years later you regret it

oh boy oh boy

okay so

i've been working on my tattoos slowly for the last six years, now

they're all enchanted, so each update includes a new spell, which means i have to include the spell components in the ink which can get
complicated

i accidentally found out i was allergic to palm oil once hahaha

i've got my ears pierced too, but mostly so i can wear enchanted earrings

haven't done any scarification, but that's because it's mostly associated with blood magic back home and i try not to touch the stuff

haven't found any magic that needs branding... that's a good question...

I only have my ears pierced. Mostly because it's more acceptable and I'm technically too young for tattoos if I wanted one.

I've never really thought about it before.

I already told you what kinds of piercings I'm considering.

I haven't thought about tattoos, though. Mostly because it's usually criminals who get them back home, so they have a bad reputation.

I think I might like to get "plus ultra" tattooed on myself. It means "go beyond".

[zunge]

there's bound to be some that won't turn out that way.

but I also know a lot of foolish thugs who think it's 'cool' to get their team logo inked on them.

[zunge]

just how exactly do body mods and magic work together there?

[zunge]

right, some guy I was talking to the other night mentioned the social acceptance thing. I never really understood that. people should be allowed to do what they want to their bodies.

[zunge]

I heard it was common for yakuza to get them. but otherwise I don't get the big deal. where I'm from most people with tattoos are just Rib players playing turf war pretendy fun times. /eyeroll

[zunge]

why?

[foxable]

kinda the same way a talisman or an amulet would work, except multiple use and non-transferable

so some of the ones i’ve got include a magic detection spell that when i activate it allows me to “see” magic traces

i’ve been working on designing ankle ones to muffle the sound of my feet when I want and make he quieter

but basically any other enchantment you can think of can probably be put in tattoo form

[zunge]

that sounds potentially useful. is that a place where anyone can craft the magic or only some people?

[foxable]

well technically anyone could attempt to learn it but

in practice i’m one of the few mages that can actually do it

i developed a lot of the magic myself, which is why i have to design them all

[burningfree]

Just the one ear piercing. It's a black triangle, the symbol of the burnish.

After I became the leader of Mad Burnish, my top two generals tried to convince me to get a tattoo to match theirs, but I'm not really into them.

Been considering more piercings, though.

[zunge]

I see. sounds annoying that so few can do it.

[zunge]

more piercings is always good. plenty of good spots to get one.

[burningfree]

Honestly my main concern now is risk of infection if I do get any new ones. Wasn't a problem for me before.

[zunge]

the aftercare is usually pretty easy. add in the possibility of using healing magic here and it's not that big a concern.

[burningfree]

Hah. Good point. I didn't consider the fact I could just have someone literally kiss it better.

[zunge]

I know, right?

what other piercings have you thought about?

[foxable]

annoying? not at all

i love being able to do things other people find difficult

and it means i don’t have as much business competition :)

why, you thinking about getting a tattoo?

[zunge]

well if you want that sort of workload and monopoly...

I'm considering one.

[foxable]

i’m picky with my clients but you’d be surprised how rarely people want to commit to them

there’s a small amount of risk, so

what kind?
