Tattoos and Piercings: TTM OCs

I do not know if I have made it as obvious here or not, but I am a huge fan of piercings and tattoos, especially with the cool jewelry combinations you can do or the story behind a tattoo! As someone who has several of both, I find it so much fun seeing them on others, and with the subject of OCs, just seeing what they would mean or symbolize for them, as you can learn a lot about a character with them in ways that may not have been so obvious before. 

After making some headcanon posts for some of the @thelostrainbowthenovel, @spooksverse-asks  and @hueshiftersofficial​ characters so far, I thought it would be fun to try my hand at doing some for the characters I created for @thethreemages​! I haven’t thought about these ones as much besides Colden, but I still had fun thinking about these concepts and I hope you enjoy! :3

(Inspirations + notes are under the ‘readmore’!)

=============================================================

- Winifred Igalls

. For piercings, Winnie only has her lobes pierced once

. She has never been the biggest fan of needles growing up, so she has not really felt the urge to get anything else done

. Plus, even if she wanted to, she is not really sure if she would be able to pull anything else off and would most likely only stick with getting her ears done

. Same thing goes for tattoos, she was not sure if she would be able to handle getting one done so she holds off on it for a while

. Though one day when she is a little older(around early-mid-twenties), after enough encouragement from those like her brother she eventually gets something done

. This being a fairly big piece of sunflowers on her left shoulder that spill onto her back, upper-arm, and collarbone a little bit(like in the ref)

. She gets this done as sunflowers are her favorite flower, and she liked the location

. She is not sure if she would get anything else done(besides maybe a couple small/minimalist ones), so for the moment she is perfectly content with just her sunflowers

- Colden Igalls

. For piercings, Colden only has his lobes pierced once

. He usually just wears simple black studs, though will often wear ones with cuffs or any earrings his girlfriend makes for him

. He’s fine with just those, though he might be open to getting a couple cartilage/helix ones in the future

. As for tattoos, he has a few

. His first one is of two small, blue snowflakes located on his lower-back near the left side

. He gets these done on a whim one day, as he came across a tattoo parlor that was doing walk-ins on a night that he had a rather bad argument with his dad, so he thought “why not?” and went in to get one as a way to kill time before going back home

. He had just that one for a while, but in time he gets a few other ones

. one being of flames taking up most of his left upper-arm, as a tribute piece to his “late” mother

. Another of a sunflower, as a dedication and “thank you” to his sister for always sticking by him through everything in life, this being on the inside of his right forearm

. And finally one of dandelions blowing in the wind located on his left shoulder blade, this being a dedication piece to Jena, as a small way for him to show his appreciation for all she has done for him and for being a “light” in his life during his darker moments(and for hope, healing, and strength)

. He doesn’t have any other tattoos besides these ones at the moment, but he is open to getting more in the future

- Lucian + Titaia Igalls (Combined these two into one for simplicity)

. Out of the two, Lucian only has one tattoo and no piercings, while Titaia had both her lobes pierced and three tattoos

. Growing up in a poor area of Tydas Lucian’s family never really had enough money to get any piercings or tattoos, so that combined with them not really fitting with his family’s aesthetics, he never wanted to get anything done growing up

. However, some time after losing his wife, he eventually gets her name tattooed in a small font on his back, as a way of honoring her and showing the loyalty he still had for her even as she’s gone

. Titaia on the other-hand, came from a slightly better background than her husband and had more of an interest in piercings and tattoos compared to him

. For piercings, all she got done before her ‘passing’ was double lobes, though she might have gotten a third set if she could

. For tattoos, she had three, all rather small and simple

. Her first one was an anchor on the outside of her left ankle, to remind herself to stay grounded and for hope of a more stable life from her more rambunctious and rebellious years

. Her second was a simple flashlight on her right wrist, that she had gotten done a little after she married Lucian

. Her third and last one was of a simple flame to represent her passion and magic, located above her sternum on her chest

. Had she not ‘passed’ she would have definitely gotten a few more tattoos when she could, one idea would have been dedicated to her children(her two current ones, plus the couple more she would have had with her husband)

- Marian Blakeley

. Growing up poor and homeschooled most of her life by her adoptive mother, Marian did not really get to have anything done till she was an adult and on her own

. She did get her lobes pierced for the first time at 13 as a birthday present from her mother, though

. Once she turned 18 and got to explore more of New Grayle City on her own, and observe others more around there, she got to explore more of her personal style

. For piercings, she got a second set of lobes, a tragus, and a rook for each ear, along with her navel

. For tattoos, she currently has 3, all(including her piercings) done when she had the money after being paid for her maid job at the palace

. Her first one is a simple heart outline, under her right boob

. Her second is a rose, on her sternum

. Her third is a fox, on the back of her neck

. She just has the three for now but would be interested in potentially getting more in the future, one idea being something dedicated to her mother

- Jesse Ikari

. Jesse does not have any piercings, and only has one tattoo

. As he was kept pretty secluded with his family for a majority of his life, he never really felt like getting either before

. Though, he has briefly entertained the idea here-and-there of what it would be like if he was covered in multiple piercings and tattoos

. As for his tattoo, he just has a simple one of a cactus, located on his back between his shoulders

. He got it done when he was 25, originally not going to get one, but then thought that he would just get one

. He chose a cactus as tending to his plants has been fairly therapeutic for him in his adult life, and it is a calling back to his mother’s favorite plants having been succulents and cacti, as she also inspired him with her own pastime of caring for plants when she was alive

. He has not made plans to get any other tattoos, though he has been considering maybe getting at least one sleeve sometime, though he wants to think it over for a long time before he potentially goes through with it

- Jadyn Ikari

. In contrast to her brother, Jadyn has a few different piercings but also only has one tattoo

. A fan of the asymmetrical/mix-match look, she mainly only wears one long piercing for her first set of lobes, with the other one either just being a simple stud or even no earring there at all

. In addition to those, she also has double lobes and three sets of cartilage/helix on each ear

. As for her tattoo, she gets it shortly after her 18th birthday

. It’s of a simple lightning storm, to represent both her magic types(electric + storm), located on her right ankle

. She would consider getting some more in the future, but has to think about what she would like first

- Cyrus Aelius

. For piercings, Cyrus has his lobes pierced once with small gold hoops, and a small, gold nose stud on his right nostril

. As for tattoos, he has a full sleeve on his right arm

. It is of different celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, and stars, along with various different constellations and the planets

. He gets it done during the years he was working towards his phd, as he was getting so close to his dream of becoming an astronomer

. At the moment, he is currently content with just his sleeve

- Aisling Vue

. Aisling has several piercings and tattoos

. For piercings she has double lobes and two sets of cartilage/helix on each ear, a septum and left nostril hoop, philtrum, and navel with dangling jewelry

. Besides the navel one all her piercing jewelry are quite simple, though she does like wearing chunky hoop earrings

. As for tattoos, they are primarily located on their under-boob area, arms, and lower-legs

. For their arms, they are full sleeves that spill a little on top of the hands, collarbone, and shoulder-blades, a mixture of the first two references in being simple flowers with some mandala-inspired elements added in

. For their lower-legs, they are symmetrical to each other, following a similar design as their arms(a mixture between the 2nd and 3rd tattoo refs), primarily just on their shins but also spilling onto the feet just a little bit

. She is interested in getting more tattoos someday, the back and chest being the main locations she is thinking about getting tattooed next
