#tattoo/body art

[on-the-clear-blue]

Even though I know Bruce would have a brain aneurism at the mere thought of it because "what part of no identifying features do you not understand" I am thinking about the batfam and body art (tattoos, piercings and the such)

Alfred: you would think that this man is a proper British gentleman! But no, this man fought in wars and was a thespian, he would be tatted from wrist to collar bone in the style of wherever he was stationed during the war and likely with his battalions nickname somewhere. (Thomas and Martha both enjoyed kissing each one while they-...thats another post entirely)

Bruce: While he now thinks that they are horrible mistakes and had spent so much money seamlessly removing them from his body, Bruce was a party boy in the early 80s through the 2ks, that man got a tribalism tramp stamp, he had a butterfly/dolphin ankle tattoo, he got a Disney character doing a sexy pose on his back, and it pains him incredibly that he has to apply fake tattoos whenever Brucie needs to be seen somewhat unclothed (the only actually body modification that he has is scarification of the dates when he met all of his children) also likely had gages at some point but spent a lot of money to get his ears to a more natural point noe

Dick: so from brief research, (I am in no means an expert) Romani people don't tend to do tattoos, but as they are not a monolith and have many different groups among the Romani, I am going to have it that Dick gets at most his ears pierced? Maybe with some thst look similar to his mother's? Though I can see him being into henna, and getting it done on special occasions

Jason: Before getting picked up by batman this sweet boy ran in the streets and likely joined a gang at some point for protection? I can see some messily done, likely infected stick and poke of a skull or whatever some edgy gang leader chose as his "brand" to put on the street rats, but post dunk in the angriest lime jello? That little thing is gone, and after being a mob boss? I think Jason has a few tattoos, more than a few piercings, (I hc Jason as Hispanic, and we do have a tradition of getting piercings at a young age, though I think Jason would have lost the small diamond studs his momma saved up for to buy for him) he has at least one stylized cross somewhere on his body

Cass: I feel like she would like the idea tattoos, and would be an absolute trooper and not even flinching at the most painful places to get a needle jabbed repeatability into her skin, but wouldn't like the fact she can't change it, the same going for piercings, so I can see much more clip on stuff and temp tattoos!

Tim: "My body is a temple." Which is a filthy lie he tells the others. This man got Kon to do his piercings. Tim has nipple piercings and nobody finds out until the most unfortunate timing, likely involving an MRI and a lot of explaining to do why his nipples are bleeding.

Duke: This dork, this utter "Um actually 🤓☝️" Looking goober got a singular ear pierced once before he became Signal and cried, yeah maybe he could handle the pain now, but will he ever? Maybe later down the line...much much later.

Damian: isn't allowed to get any yet, wants to get anime weeb tattoos, "Tt, the League has trained me to withstand long sessions of torture, this would be nothing" he gets the names of his pets in a "no regurts" situation when he is 16, drunk and with Jon, thankfully he is able to hide it for a few months before Bruce finds it and is found later hunting down Jon.

Bonus

Babs: I see her as a sunflower kinda gall, has a sleeve of them (its actually a cover up because she used to have one of those super cringe, deathly hollows that flows into a mocking jay and a supernatural tattoo) used to have ear piercings but got rid of them after a particularly bad rogue tried to rip them out.

Steph: she has a nose stud and a tongue piercing, was totally there when Tim got his nips done, voted for him to get tassels, probably thinks tattoos are cool, but can't trust anyone to do it because she has been to nursing school long enough to know to say "fuck that shit"

Kate: similar to Alfred, got hot military tats, though followed after Bruce and removed most of them.

I got this tattoo from Kati Green at Blue Ox tattoo yesterday.

It is a list, so that the notes I’m always writing on my arm are organized and pretty.

It is also a ruler. The lines are spaced at 1/2 inch, with the dots on the right showing 1/4 in and the ones on the left showing 1 cm. The compass rose is an angle finder.

The flowers are my favorite ones from my grandma’s garden when I was growing up. Gravenstein apple blossoms, marigolds, and wisteria.

I love it and am so excited for when it is heal enough to safely use.

On your most recent From the Couch post... is that a dragon tattoo I see poking out of Zuko's collar? ...................may we see more of it?

You may see all of it.
