What tattoo do they have, where and what’s the significance if there is any? - The Hobbit Edition

These are head canons. I let my imagination run wild with this one. Hope you have fun reading it. At least as much as I had writing it ;). Warnings: Mentions of tattoos, weapons, death, swearing too and the usual: this franchise doesn't belong to me.

UNBETA'D: And I'll probably die on that hill.

Note: Headcanon of mine: They have a common tattoo for the whole Company. It would probably be the symbol left on Bilbo's door the first time they all meet. Or an inside joke, at Bilbo's depend I'd wager.

Bilbo: No. None whatsoever. It never interested him in the first place. (That's what he tells Frodo, but he has the one with the Company, although he did complain the whole time about it. Once finished and satisfied with what it looked like, did not seem to bother him so much. He has it somewhere private, where he would not be showing it on accident to anyone, but somewhere he can also see like his calf or above his heart.)

Bifur (cousin to Bombur and Bofur): No one besides his kin knows, considering the axe in his head. I would feel a lot relating to battle and the history of his people. For the placement, arms, legs, some part of his torso, back, everywhere really. You have a needle some ink and a good design and he's in.

Ori (brother to Nori and Dori): The youngest. One. In common with the company. Wants to have more but his brothers are holding him back. He's brave but a little bit daft so they prefer to be sure they all survive before doing any crazy things. (He tried to get one tattooed of a grape of raisin as a bet with Fili and Kili. They stopped him before he could even ask)

Dori (brother to Ori and Nori): The oldest. He would never admit to it because he has some decorum, but he probably had a few made when he was drunk with his friends a long time ago. On unmentionable places (his left buttcheek for example) of unmentionable designs (wine bottles and/or naked ladies).

Bombur (cousin of Bifur): Loads of them. Very intricate details, portraits of dwarf-women, drawings he made himself of trees and prairies, very bucolic.

Gloin (Gimli's father): Not much. His wife's name when he was younger. She gave him grief for it but he never regretted it. A legendary axe along one of his thighs, the details are uncanny.

Nori (brother of Dori and Ori) : A dragon. He would get a dragon before the fall of Erebor and keep it as a reminder afterwards. He adds tons of coins and jewellery. It’s a whole piece on his back. Impressive work.

Oin: He is the tattoo artist, I feel. Old enough, some medical knowledge. Chances are he misinterpreted a few ones. He was taught in Erebor so he is not as steady as he used to, but he always manages to get someone's help everytime. He never lets anyone touch his tattoo stuff unless he is present. Himself has a harp and several instruments.

Fili: He’d have one with his brother, mother and uncle for the Durin line. Maybe behind his ear. I can see a beautiful blade, down the length of his torso from his upper ribcage to his hips.

Kili: Same for Fili. But he's a romantic so I'd say, on his inner arm or his wrist. He'd go for pieces of poetry, flowers and landscapes of mountains.

Dwalin : Everywhere. A lot of geometric figures are arranged in patterns he only knows the reason for. Fili and Kili have a theory about an escape he lead with those tattoos. Dwalin never denies nor confirms it, he finds it immensly hilarious to see them try to figure it out.

Bofur: Names of his lost ones. Pun jokes in drawings, different moustaches. If the chance comes, a portrait of his One on his lower back. Because he is a cheesy, cheesy dwarf.

Balin: One in common with Thorin, that’s for sure. Something they've been through together. One for the company.

Thorin: Words of poetry or song he’d adored as a younger dwarf, some symbolic ones like the one for the Durin line, and the one for the company. One of an animal, (I'm influenced by some drawings I saw though), something symbolic with a greater meaning. No decorative ones.

Bard: I don't think it ever crossed his mind. He'd consider it as a branding of sorts and between his kids, hiding his lineage and the loss of his wife, he has enough issues as it is.

Thranduil: Has enough scars for a lifetime. But if his lover has some he’d be fascinated. Honestly, repulsed at first because why would you scar your beautiful skin like this, but if they are his love, they have taste so the tattoo design would be one he quite enjoys too.

“You have me now. Cross my heart. Or may I be struck by lightning.”  

[ohlookanotherblogonthishellsite]

As someone who used to struggle with self-harm (I've been clean for a year and 2 months) lockdown has given me time alone to think and nearly relapse into that dark place and I'm sure a lot of people are in a similar place as me. First of all, if you feel like this don't be ashamed of it, you have been strong to get this far and dont think that just because you're thinking about it again doesn't invalidate your progress. And to all the people who are still struggling it will get better, speaking from experience, it will get worse in situations like this but if you're still here now then I believe you can keep going.

Anyway back to what I wanted to say which was soemthing that has been helping me through the urges is giving myself stick and poke tattoos. Now I need to give a HEAVY DISCLAIMER before I go into anymore details. Only do this if you can hygiencially perform this for example having sterile needles, sterile working space, etc and you self harmed because the pain felt good, I don't think this works for people who liked seeing the blood. It could also work if you liked seeing scars because you're getting a permanent image. If you want to make this sterile use a lighter and ethanol to clean things and set cling film on your work surface to ensure everything is clean.

Because let me just say, stick and poke hurt like hell but the thing is atleast I get something productive and pretty out of it, whereas with self-harm I just got an ugly scar that I look at and get sad about and feel regret. At least with a tattoo if I regret it it's somehting I can laugh about.

But yeah, most importantly, just be safe with whatever you choose to do because you matter.

And also if you're an expert and you don't think this is smart please reblog and explain why so that people are educated because I'm no expert.

The tattoo parlor didn’t look like much. The apprentice who was supposed to be inking Derek's new magical tattoo wasn't immediately confidence-inspiring either.

"DAMN DUDE, That was boss! High Five Hideo!" Memories of Sorrow, with love from Isa.

Hideo returned the high five with a smile before both hi mand isa were sent back into his memories

Hideo buried his face into the pillow, biting the fabric as he felt the needle draw on his skin, tears of pain rolled down his.

The purple sakura blossoms were outlined all down his back, now they were to be colored in.

the tattoo was soon done, and the eleven year old was trying to wipe his tears.

A woman came up to him, putting her closed fan under his chin to make him look up at her.”Perfect. you can go on for your first show soon. We have you kimono and wig. Lady Kumi, welcome to the Sakura blossom onnagata house. You go for your first performance in one hour. With your body adn face… you’ll have customers begging for a night with you.”

Hideo looked down again as the woman walked away, he would have to get used ot this life.. it was for his family.. 

if he got enough money, maybe they would let him back in..

he just had to work hard..

~~~~~~~~

his eyes widened and he backedway from isa, "I-i.. and he ran to his room
