Tattoos and other body mods

yeah the double head is usually enough to confuse people and then they would ask what it is.

Yeah it'll take some time for them to fade out to match the older work but it'll take a while. Also they're literally two to three days old now so they're still shiny and only just starting to scale.
Metope:
Yeah, I remember when I got mine and I was disappointed it faded so much in the first two years because I loved the vibrant colours, but now I think I actually prefer it this way, it sort of fits more on a body muted? Like, now it looks like a part of my body rather than an image slapped on my arm. So I think your current situation (sans scaling) is cool because it's a variation of muted and vibrant, but it'll look great when it fades to match as well since it will look more like a natural part of you.
Jimmy the Squid:
I actually really like the way tattoos scab and scale. I think it looks super cool and I'd be happy for them to stay that way if they could also not be painful to move and constantly itching. But really only black ink scales for me. All other colours just get kind of dry and then flake away. Purple always scars a little more than anything else, possibly because we had to go over it so many times because my skin is slightly dark.
Either way I'm really happy with my sleeves. It's been just about 3 years since I started them and now my arms are finished! I'll now need to find a new artist because Austria is too far to come for any future projects and they're all going to be quite large. I've already got my idea for a chest piece (a dead tree. Roots starting on my thighs and pubic mound, trunk going up on my stomach and then branches reaching up over my chest and then over my shoulders and around my ribs). I'm throwing around some ideas for a back piece as well that will have to go around my Dark Crystal tattoo but I'm thinking maybe the Hyrulian coat of arms with the eagles wings going around the Dark Crystal tattoo instead of the Triforce and some Zelda characters around it (Link, Zelda, a Zora, Goron and probably Skullkid).
Not sure what I want to do with my legs yet.

I had far too much fun picking - gently - at the tiny scabs on my tattoos. I tried so damn hard to let them fall off on their own but it was near irresistible.
Also I stretched my conches again. They were at 5g, an in-between size that I wanted to hit because cartilage is so painful to stretch. But the jewelry just wasn't staying in, and it barely added any pain to go on to 4g. Anyway, it felt like something scratchy was on the jewelry so I took it out of my left ear. Holy fuck that hurt. So much. There was nothing on the jewelry except the usual ear cheese so I had to put it back in and my eyes were watering.
