This is precisely what it claims to be-- a list of tattoos. Why? Why not? I find altered tattoos kind of neat, and I'm certain there are other people who will find them so as well. I'm not doing any kind of quality check; if I see it, it's up here. If you'd like me to include your own altered tattoo, or if you see an altered tattoo that I haven't seen yet, drop me a note.
1. If you want it on an "other location" (the standard locations
are the head, ear, neck, shoulder, arm, wrist, finger, back, chest, waist,
thigh, leg, ankle, and foot, I believe), it must be somewhere that is constantly
visible.
2. The 50-foot rule. If someone couldn't see something on
a tattoo while standing 50 feet away from the tattooed person, it belongs
in a show rather than a long description.
3. The 15/15/15 rule still applies with tattoos that have show descriptions.
Things like "a fluted golden lizard tattoo" (8/13/6) are acceptable.
Things like "a fluffy chartreuse dandelion tattoo" (8/20/6) are not.
Things like "a sapphire-scaled lizard tattoo" (1/15/13), while dividing
neatly into 15/15/15 are not acceptable because the usage word would be
"lizard". Keep in mind that the last word should be "tattoo"-- it
may be easier for some people to think of it as 15/15 and forget about the
last 15 entirely.
4. Shows should not include the bearer's gender. Don't say
things like "her thigh"; say things like "the thigh". I confess I don't
quite understand the reasoning behind this rule, but I imagine that it's
simply good form, much in the same vein as never using gender in normal items.
It's nothing to sweat over, however; after all, we know what gender the
character is because we know who's showing it to us, so why be redundant?
My thanks to Nagari for his patience and kindness while I struggled with
the above four concepts. (Don't go looking for any intricate tattoos
on Tanager, incidentally; our discussion was during my brief sojourn into
Platinum.)
Aerienne: a tattoo of a delicate jewel-toned wild orchid with glistening petals and gold-accented emerald green leaves twining around her thigh
Ardwen: a regal golden gryphon and a beautiful white dove flying wingtip to wingtip into a crimson sunset tattoo on his arm
Armaxis: a pattern
of dark serpentine sigils tattooed upon both hands
Jagged sigils are inked into the flesh, seemingly
slithering across his hands and coiling around his fingers in a strange,
arcane pattern. The curving sigils follow a sinuous path down from the fingers,
twisting to enclose the symbol of Luukos, one upon each palm.
Beaumian: a tattoo
of a dark elf surrounded by a mystical aura on his arm.
Beldannon: (Platinum)
: a skull and crossbones tattoo
Inked on the bicep on a field of black and silver
rests a stark white skull with a bemused expession on its maw and a patch
over one eye. A pair of crossed bones serves as an armorial bearing
and lettered on them is a brief history of Beldannon's illustrious deeds.
Brixx
(Platinum):
a slit-pupilled golden eye tattoo
This tattoo of a tawny golden eye sports a slitted
black pupil akin to the eye of a cat or a serpent. Subtle streaks
of blood-hued red and gray run through the iris, giving the eye a peculiarly
intense expression. Swirls of gray ink curve around the eye like curling
smoke and wrap around the back of the wrist.
Garredd:
a tattoo of a dozen measures of dancing notes.
Encircling the ankle is the tattooed score to an
intricate melody. The sharply rendered notes of the arrangement sweep
around in a flowing rhythmic pattern.
Haruk (Platinum): a tattoo of a deep green ivy vine barely concealing sharp silvery thorns on his forearm
Haruk
(Platinum): a silver-edged black dragon tattoo
Tattooed in deep black ink and accented in brilliant
silver, a fierce dragon coils around the arm, its claws drawn as to sink
into the flesh and its mouth open in a mighty roar as clouds of murky steam
stream from its nostrils.
Heathyranne: a golden
phoenix rising from fiery crimson flames overlying a golden scroll inked
with five conjoined circles tattoo
Kaitlen (Platinum): a tattoo of an emerald dolphin leaping from crystal blue waters
Krisenfest: a tattoo
of a merry monk poking at a green serpent with a staff on his arm
Krispy (Platinum)
: an amusing brown ferret tattoo
Inked on one side on the neck in varying shades
of brown, a black-masked ferret with an amused look on its face and a glint
in its beady eyes grasps a nut in one hand and a miniature lockpick in the
other, as he tries to coax it open.
Livn:
a tattoo of a silver-eared kitten leaving behind a trail of sooty pawprints
on his neck.
Macillus:
a tattoo of a majestic ice hound baying at the moon
Merryleon: a soaring
royal blue dragon tattoo with argent scales and intelligent eyes breathing
an ethereal inferno on his arm
Mikalah
(Platinum):
a sunlight gold fern-pattern tattoo
Slim golden fern-stalks run up both sides of the
the jaw before branching across the cheekbones and temples in symmetrical
spiraling curves. Patterns of copper-edged leaflets border the stalks
in orderly rows. A subtle black-inked edge traces the lower side of
each stem and leaflet, simulating the shadows of the ferns. A stylized
sun symbol rests perfectly between the final curls of two graceful fronds
that arch over the eyebrows.
Nadinna: an elaborate
Vaalor crest tattoo
Inked in vivid colors, this incredibly detailed tattoo
covers the entire back, from shoulder blades to waist. A vibrant golden
dragon, each beautiful scale accented and shaded, soars broad-winged on
a field of vivid crimson. A golden helm tops the shield-shaped crest,
with decorative red and golden foliage enclosing it.
Nevrek: a circle of
scratch-like red runes tattooed on his chest
Nindy: a black gecko
tattoo
The tiny gecko is masterfully inked in solid black.
Light gold ink lines the tiny lizard and forms the tip of the lizard's tail,
glittering with some diamond-dusted ink. Bright gold eyes seem to
stare calmly outward, but the creature's tiny golden claws are drawn just
in case.
Riend: a circlet of intertwining vines of ivy interlaced with delicate silver water lilies tattoo on her neck
Sabitor: a tattoo of
a flawless black diamond clenched between the fangs of a sinuous gold serpent
on his neck
Swetelove:
a tattoo of spiraling vines of poison ivy that wrap around on her thigh
Vixesse: a narrow collar of flames tattoo tinted deep crimson and clasped with a tiny red diamond on her neck
Zodac: a tattoo of
iridescent silvery glyphs entwining from his neck to the tip of his right
middle finger on his arm
Zsi
(Platinum): a tattoo of tiny silver unicorn
rearing up on its hind legs upon her wrist
