#bc i see him as someone who’s outwardly very ‘socially acceptable’ looking by design

So… we know James Potter definitely has tattoos (love that fic btw) but what about piercings? I headcanon him has having some but I’ve never been able to decide on how many and what kinds. Like part of me wants to be like “YES! All of the piercing!” But alas I know that’s not super realistic lol. (Realism for a fictional character ha!) What do you think?

: o a prongsfoot tattoos reference, i repeat, a prongsfoot tattoos reference!!!! anon i’m so glad u like bc it’s one my favorites 🥺

as for piercings, god, i fully agree w the part of u that says ‘all of them’ lmao i have definitely moved past realism for my headcanons bc like,,,fiction ykno? (also i dont think two 16yo posh boys in private school in 70s britain would be as heavily inked as the fic showed but i’m not giving up on a single one of those tattoos so we should definitely ignore what makes sense in favor of what the heart wants :p)

so james. i’m obsessed with ear & nose piercings for men tbh, so i’m thinking a single stud on one ear and a cuff about midway through the lobe at least. definitely a ring or a little stone (like an american diamond?) through the nose, maybe even two.

i think he’d be a bit more subdued with the visible body mods but he does love them so he’ll have a collection of clipons for all sorts of other things. septum, eyebrow, lip etc etc for whenever the mood strikes

now, if we go a bit nff, i do think he’ll go for one of the more…risqué piercings if ya get what i mean ;) easily hidden, makes him feel like a badass and sirius loves the heck out of it so really, no extra incentive needed
