Answers to tattoo questions for Silva Omar below:

Does your OC have any tattoos? If not, do they want any?

Silva does! Around two and later a third.

How does your OC act while they’re getting a tattoo? Do they grit their teeth and deal with the pain, do they need something to hold onto while getting inked, ect.?

Silva's tolerance to pain is high. Not to mention getting a tattoo is not the worst pain Silva has dealt with.

Would your OC ever get a face or hand tattoo?

It would take a lot of convincing for the face and she'd have to see the designs. Hand tattoos are an absolute no... the scars are very sensitive to touch (often why Silva wears gloves... to protect her hands).

List any of their tattoos/prospective tattoos below. Feel free to add any meaning they may have

First tattoo a symbol of her status as a part of the Tumultite community (and the very few alive); a small simplistic design of a sword and a shield which rests on the right side of her right shoulder

The second tattoo is a homage to her first daughter, Persephone, who was really obsessed with planes; a small airplane going around in circles that rests somewhere on her left forearm.

Third tattoo she gets in the New Dawn arc and expresses her love for Faith and their daughters. I won't go into too much detail (because I haven't found an exact design), however I will say it has something to do with her and Faith's relationship, and will be somewhere on her right side (near her heart).
