The Sociology and Psychology of Tattoos: Identity, Rebellion, and the Myth of Regret
There was a time when tattoos were whispered about rather than displayed. They belonged to sailors, criminals, and rebellious youth—people who had, according to polite society, either seen too much or decided they didn’t care what the world thought anymore. Fast forward to today, and tattoos have made their way into the mainstream. From minimalist script tattoos in trendy coffee shops to…

do yall think in the aftg universe there are, like, really hardcore raven fans who tattoo numbers on their faces as a token of fanaticism and it probably pisses riko the FUCK off bc it bastardizes his perfect court? lmao
#aftg#all for the game#we always see ppl getting tattoos matching or inspiredbby their favorite celebrities#so imagine people going around with jumbers on their face copying kevin riko etc#and ir provably annoyed the shit out of riko to see people doing that LMAOOO#i imagine jean not unserstanding why the fuck anyone would do that#the foxhole court#neil josten#kevin day#riko moriyama

I think. that ink masters might legitimately be a ragebait show
#either that or I'm emotionally unregulated which is CRAZY (sound of my meds not being taken)#no but every time I watch it. I'm blown away by artistry first of all. I gasp a lot. I admire.#and then. it gets to the judging. and I feel like I'm going actually crazy during the critiques and elims#WHAT??????? HUH?????????????????#and the UNBELIEVABLE bias against women in the judging WHEWWWWWWWW. why isn't every tattoo judged blind? WHY?#granted the current season is one of the better ones because there are more Nice People on it than average#I'm watching older seasons and screaming at the TV#sergle.txt

That han fancall is truly truly truly like the most horrendously embarrassing and deeply unsettling shit ever
#and this is why i truly barely follow any han or lee know people outside of tumblr bc everywhere else#its not even that theyre cringe inducing (though they are) but so many times it goes beyond into somethinf that i think is actually truly#unwell and like. deeply parasocial and unhealthy and creepy to a worrying degree#yeah kpop attracts that in general but those two especially just have so many hardcore fans that are simply worrying#like thats the crux of it#i see fans on twt on ig in the youtube comments and i actually am like Oh im worried by you#its not normal !! its weird !!#like getting his tattoo asking rude questions??? leave and dont come back and become normal#also seeing someone say theyre just trying to find out if theyre 'canon' these are real people you fucking lunatics

So I was looking at waiter Yakumo and noticed that he had wavy hair. His hair straight normally so who was the one who curled his hair? DOES KLEIN EVEN HAVE CURLING IRONS???? Anyways all of this is to say please imagine Eiden helping Yakumo get ready and that involves putting those old timey curlers in Yakumo's hair before he went to bed so he can have curls the next morning
uhdisomFINMF u are making me IMAGINE!!!!!! yakumo about to apply for the job and wondering if he should present himself a certain way eiden going ;))) you look sexy with your hair pushed back ;))) (but before yakumo can stutter out his embarrassment) eiden gives him the very encouraging "but for real i think you look great as you are!! <3" then aster crashes onto the scene and announces that he will not have his servants treasured colleagues looking anything less than PEAK presentable!!!!! *whips out the old timey pink hair curlers*
#aster asking if a uniform is gonna be provided and if it's not up to his standards he will get it TAILORED for yakumo or smth#he'll get the custom made snake brooch ready within a day LOL#aster's generosity of spirit gives Master Eiden more eye candy#and anything that makes Master happier is worth the time and money <3#idk why but i just imaged aster being the only one in the mansion to own hair curlers#'but mr aster!! i... i haven't gotten the job yet!!'#'pishposh this is you we're talking about of course you're gonna get the job NOW STAND UP STRAIGHT n lemme get a look at u'#not like aster needs to actually look at yakumo to get his measurements. that lil vampire has everyone's measurements memorised LOL#after aster establishes yakumo's beauty routine and uniform standards ahahah he leaves it to eiden to enforce#so eiden does indeed end up putting curlers in yakumo's hair every night before work#not for too long though! one time yakumo did it himself but fell asleep reaaally early and the next day he was extra wavy#like.... full on princess curls... how did he accomplish that... how dense is his hair actually......#i imagine blade hustling in during aster's demo and going#OH!!!! you know what!! i got better at drawing maps on people!!! darling got a little lost last time#but for little yakumo i'll make sure to draw the MOST helpful map for you!!!! i've been practising!!!#*draws a compass on yakumo's wrist*#eiden in the background: heaves a silent sigh of relief that blade didn't actually stick-and-poke tattoo yakumo#puzzling invitation#nu carnival yakumo#feesh answer

the thing is the new logo is bad. it's boring and that's probably its worst crime. however this is okay because if the logo bad and is going to be on merch we can simply not buy the merch. crazy stuff i know. has anyone else thought of this
#slipknot#free your hashtag mind from the hashtag 50 dollar shirt at hot topic#i am fortunate that my 'knot shirts have either been gifts or bought ~2019 way back when i was a princesley#one of them i use for scrap fabric now cuz it dont fit#but yeah i think im over being pressed about the logo like i deadass just assumed it was only a clown thing#from an art pov i dont necessarily get ... why ... theyd want a new one when everyone associates slipknot with a#fixed set of iconography but i guess because they do its not gonna take one measly boring logo to erase all that#like bruh half of them have it tattooed somewhere on their body. its not like they suddenly dont care for it#its a staple of a specific point in time and its traceable its memorable its not unique to back then but its important to now#which is why i think so many people WERE pressed#you give them this nostalgia tour and website hunt and throwback videos and easter eggs and hints#reminding them of when they were the coolest kid in the cul de sac for listening to music with cusswords in it#and then you change a symbol that was supposed to be this ... thing ... attached to their identity. the mark of the misunderstood whiteboy#now theyre upset because their ''originality'' is being made ''watered down'' when really. like i said.#all they have to do is just not buy the merch. look to the past for as long as you want. itll be there aging like the rest of us

some sketches
based on @theicarusconstellation's writing

I keep thinking of details I left out and stuff I need to fix but if I let myself do that I'm going to go insane so we're leaving it at this

Also some Sirius because they're a fucking king and we love them (I very strongly hc them as genderqueer and using any pronouns, but specifically he/they/she/it)
The dress was a bit of a failure but hey it looks like fabric at least I think maybe
#fanart#marauders era#fanart of fanfiction#Sirius#A form of jegulus#Not sure if reg being an animagus is widely accepted Canon but I fucking accept it it's mine now and i will die on this hill#I DO however know that Sirius is generally accepted to have tattoos but unfortunately I'm shit at coming up with tat designs#I don't think there's a generally accepted list of what tattoos they have but if there is I would love to hear it#If not ig I'll just make something up#She probably has like. At least one wolf and dog one somewhere#Then definitely canis major#Idk how sappy they are but I want them to be one of those people who gets their friend group to draw hearts or stars and gets those tattooe#Also skeleton designs v much. I want them to have a cat skeleton on their hip in that curling position#Like the floaty cat#Maybe with a moon or star in the center#No real reason I just think he'd look fuckin awesome with it#He also probably has a really cool stylized semicolon on his wrist#I can't give him a koi/sun one cause that's mine and it doesn't fit then anyways#But definitely the top piece is the full moon symbolizing Remus#The bottom idk about but like maybe a squished up dog? Not like disproportionate I'm sure I could figure something out#Honestly they probably also have tats for each of their friends#I'm thinking a stylized deer under a full moon with the rat on it's head#or just prongs and moony w/ little bro between them#Brainstorming idk#If u read all that congrats I don't know why or what you got from it#Welcome to the live stream of my consciousness (you're missing not strong enough fucking BLARING in the background of all my thoughts)

Had a moment today that exemplifies how my family thinks but like, in a way that’s just very sad and makes me glad I don’t think that way.
Showed a relative the amazing painting that friend did for me, and her first response was “you’d be able to sell that for some good money!!!”
Like. No????
For months I’ve discussed this creative trade with this friend, we’ve talked about what the other wants, we’ve gotten excited about it and traded progress pics as we work on it for each other, gotten stoked over making plans to get to the post office and seeing the other finally get it, and it’s just been a very wholesome and very fun project. It took six weeks for us to complete these projects, and now I have something on display in my room that makes me very happy, that’s objectively beautiful, and that I know a friend put a lot of effort into making for me and was THRILLED when I adored it.
And my family’s immediate line of thinking is “make a few quid from it lol”.
I can’t imagine the headspace it must take to go through life like that.
#I mean same relative said something similar when I met Nikki Sixx#very long story short he was my idol growing up his music got me through a lot#got to meet him on MC’s ‘final tour’ in 2015#I was 18 I was so nervous but so thrilled#he was so insanely kind to my teenage self#listened intently when I explained how his music got me through a lot#and how I was setting out to become a writer even tho my fam disapproved#he encouraged me he gave me the pick he used to play that entire gig#he liked our pic together on IG and encouraged me and was INSANELY lovely on FB when I later posted a pic of my tattoo of his autograph#(and if u kno him u kno he gets prickly on social media to folk who deserve it so like)#just went completely above and beyond to encourage me and be so so SO kind#I excitedly tell this same relative about it all#I’m on cloud 9 bc my idol encouraged me to chase my dreams#this same relative got angry at me because I didn’t ask him for tickets to their final ever show in LA#like#this man just proved the saying of never meet your heroes entirely wrong#he repeatedly went out of his way to be kind to me#when all he really had to do was smile and pose for a photo and sign my shit#and she wanted me to then ask him to fly me out to a sold out gig for free#like he would have told me to fuck off and it would’ve ruined the entire thing#bc it’s just such a glaring display of ungratefulness and I’d never be weird enough to ask anyway#and she was LIVID with me insisting ‘you don’t get it you don’t ask!!!!!’#and this was ten years ago and this exchange today just showed me nothing has changed#like how can you just cheapen the value of things like this to make a few quid or to go to a free concert#I couldn’t live that way#and she consistently alienated people from her and can never work out why#it’s honestly just very sad

not canon but this sure is making me consider giving charlie more tattoos. unfortunately i think my hand would die if i had to draw all of these
#superhero oc#human oc#oc art#tattoos#punk#charlie grimms#stanley does art#um uhh ummm forgetting everything i was gonna say abt this#oh just that he technically only has four-ish tattoos and him never getting any more is like. weird#and i made up some shaky reasoning for why he wouldnt get more which was really an excuse for me to not have to draw them#ssssssssso kinda contemplating it but i also dont want it to make him harder for OTHER people to draw#since like for me i know i can just template out most of them and paste them onto him#i do really like the barbed wire one it's very punk of him and a bit western#and the mountains are fun i like the wraparound river#i guess he just. somehow. is a guy who likes tattoos that are 1. big 2. colorful 3. in awkward spots that always wrap around

Rare picture posting but I'm really proud of my Portgas D Ace cosplay and I think me and my friend look darn cute as Ace and Luffy
#she begged me to not paint me a hole in the chest LOL#one piece#portgas d ace#monkey d luffy#cosplay#i did all the details in the hat#and the blue pocket#and the log pose#and the elbow thing#and drew the tattoo#and yeah you get it I spend waaay too long on this LOL#shout out to the people liking the cosplay but asking me why I had bandages in the chest#only to inmidiately answer their own question like OH WAIT YEAH#also shout out to my friend bcs she drove us to the party and she almost kills me especifically when going side by side a bus#people would have laughed so friking hard if we ended up in the news as a Luffy cosplayer with a dead Ace's cosplayer

*''once more, with feeling'', buffy the vampire slayer, season 6, episode 7.
**''face the raven'', new who, season 9, episode 10.
#hyperspecific poll#polls#hyperspecific polls#for the record#all of these are indeed true facts about me#i saw face the raven a couple weeks after it came out#i was like. 5 or 6 i think#my mom didnt know what happened in it and she was folding clothes and turned it on#and i remembered it until i saw her show up in early s8 when i was watching the whole show for the first time#(like. 8 or 9 years later)#and was like. ''ohhh so thats her name. she dies right?''#''with a ticking timebomb raven tattoo?''#and my mom was like#''what. why do you know this''#it was very fun#i have wanted to do one of these for months but i was scared#now people are doing them again so#honestly im worried some of these might be too spefific#originally the roman emperor one said 17 cause thats how far i can het#*get#but i figured that was too spefific#so its ten

Oc posting 5: Juno
#I know ur not supposed to have a favorite child#but like#I loveee drawing him he’s super fun#little background info#he’s another bounty hunter like Sam and Val#he’s also a ‘witch’#meaning he can manipulate shadows and stuff#he’s able to do slight telekinesis and teleportation#why can he do that?#we’ll long story short one of his ancestors was a genetically modified human being#this was 500 years ago during the previous era pre cataclysm#there were certain people who were selected for an experiment#kinda like captain America in a sense?#they got superserumed and developed a bit of psychic abilities#not many survived post cataclysm#but the ones who did had families and continued the bloodline#Juno didn’t originally have these powers#but they were awakened after a bargain with a higher power to get revenge after his entire town was massacred#he now looks for the demon with red eyes and red tattoos that killed his family and wears the skin of his brother#so yeah while he does have cool psychic powers kinda#he can’t use them often because every time he does it drains his life force#another fun fact he uses dual pistols like Sam but is actually a way better shooter#(part of that is he can manipulate the bullet using its shadow but even without it he’s scarily accurate)#he can only teleport short distances tho#my art#sketch#oc#retrograde#original character#anyway i've rambled enough
