That Lucio headcanon about the piercings got me thinking... What are your headcanons for the main 6 and body modifications?
💎Main 6 + Body Modifications
Has a million and one tattoos designed, and knows where he wants them all to go - he just can’t decide which to get first
He likes drawing and painting on himself, though, and natural pigments like henna and jagua to “practice” future tattoos
His lobes and cartilage are pierced, and his ear jewelry never matches - earrings are also one of his favorite things to give and receive as gifts
He had a tongue stud as a teenager, but had to take it out because he just couldn’t get used to it. Only Muriel remembers the Lisp Era
Might get a genital piercing - he’s definitely thought about it, but he’s hesitant to go for it until he meets more people who’ve gotten and endorse them
Has been pierced before, but he always takes them out; he always fiddles with piercings too much for them to heal properly
As much as it appeals to him as a masochist, it’s probably better he doesn’t get in the habit of flipping that switch himself
Tattoos, though? Just try and stop him. It’s practically a mandatory bonding activity for sailors to pick up tattoos, and obviously, he’s good at keeping them clean
He’s got nautical coordinates, Nevivon folk art, a traditional Prakran sigil for safety at sea, and so, so much sailor ink
Happy to explain the symbolism of any of them, although some he’ll have to describe to you, instead of showing them off in polite company
One tattoo, a pretty design of feathers and flowers in pale pink ink like Chandra’s feathers on her shoulder blade. She was insanely nervous beforehand, surprisingly stoic during, and never caught the itch afterward
She can certainly understand the appeal, and she does like showing it off, but since then, she hasn’t felt an impetus for another
Her lobes and cartilage are all single-pierced, and she likes to coordinate her jewelry to her outfit - rainbow pearls are her favorites
She also has her septum done, but only wears a ring in it for special occasions; otherwise, she just keeps a small, very subtle bar in to keep it open
When she does put in septum jewelry, though, it takes all her focus not to fidget with it, and complimenting it makes her blush like no other
None at all. Au naturale.
He gets why other people like body modification, but he just doesn’t have the same experience of it - it doesn’t give him a sense of control, and he doesn’t see the point in ornamentation
Piercings are a hard no - the possibility they might not even take and leave him with yet another scar (with a much stupider story than the other ones) is a huge deterrent, and the fact that they get caught on things
The closest he might get would be a tattoo of Kokhuri design, something small and subtle that reminds him of where he came from
But even so, he can think of a hundred better ways to honor his lost tribe
Dying to have two full sleeves of sailor tattoos - she just has to have adventures to commemorate, first
Never had her ears pierced when she was little, and every time she’s thought about getting it done, hasn’t really bothered
There have been a few occasions where she added some clip-on earrings to an outfit, but for the most part, she’s fine without
When she first got to Vesuvia, though, with the warmer weather and popularity of body jewelry, she took the leap and got her nipples and belly button pierced
The nipple rings wouldn’t heal right, so she ended up taking them out, but she has a navel ring in every color, for every occasion, and busts out the crop tops at the first sign of summer to show them off
Absolutely no tattoos. He’s way too obsessive about his skin, plus it involves sitting still for long periods of time
Piercings, though, he loves - it’s a quick in-and-out, and he has a new place to stick something gold
His ears are double-pierced, though he doesn’t always wear earrings, and avoids dangly ones as a reflex from his mercenary days
During which he actually got his nipples pierced as a dare, but he doesn’t regret it for a minute - not only are they great for hanging a gold chain when he wants to be extra sparkly, but they’re a little extra spice in the bedroom
Just like his “below the belt” piercings - sure, he had to take a two-month dry spell while they healed, but every partner since has thanked him for it
