Behold!! A full tattoo/sigil map for my China Sorrows design! :]

...A Sorrows Full of Sigils, if you will xD

This took absolutely forever, good lord. I had to retcon some a lot of my old stuff for this to fit/make sense, and then I had to brainstorm on the spot for a lot because generally we never see the sigils on her torso or legs, so I didn't have pre-set designs for them. BUT! I've finally set this design in stone and I'm not changing it for a while !!!

Thanks to @staticart, @wolffe-makes-art, Alice and Lith for helping me out with this! They also each provided a sigil for me, and then I hid their names in them (except for Lith, she was a complete accident but she is in there lol), can you find them?

Alright, I have grown somewhat bored with this thing, so i am just going to post it now. Consider this a work in progress.

This is my boy Siegfried, who is definitely not a wizard, don't worry about it, who has a magic tattoo spell which inks important life events onto his skin. I have been attempting to map those out. It's definitely not all of them, but it's all of them I am doing for now. I am open to funny ideas if you have some.

1. For a wizard school project he set up a repeating spell to help with his family's vinyard and recieved a school based award for it.

2. This one is from a different tattoo spell actually, it's a death tattoo. Currently not doing anything except remind him of that time he got drunk with a few buddies and had a "great idea", but should he die, it will change to show his time and cause of death. It's a Death's Head Hawkmoth (what a mouthful)

3. This one he got after he spent the summer helping out on the vinyard and hanging out with his large extended family who he loves very much. He likes to see it as more a culmination of his life rather than based on just one event. It's also his favourite (mostly cause it's my favourite).

4. This one he got after an event during the current campaign, when his older half sister (a knight) nearly got her throat cut and he snapped a bit. The party did save her but in interrogating the infiltrator who attacked her he and Iago (other party member) ended up resorting to some torture which pissed Christine (the sister) off greatly.

5. This one he got when Christine gifted him a dagger after graduating from wizard school and setting off to make a name for himself as a bounty hunter.

6. This one he got after he made up his new totally real rogue persona and for the first time felt like he actually became a proper professional in his field.

7. This one pisses him off greatly, because it's based on an occurrance back in wizard school, in which he tried to prank a fellow student but had a polymorph spell backfire on him.

8. Another one that annoys him greatly though this one is at least not as obvious, it's a tattoo version of the hickey he got after he made out with someone for the first time. He was 17, it was a fellow student, and the guy laughed at him very loudly when he learned.

9. When starting out practicing with daggers he was a touch too overconfident and managed to cut his finger off. It was reattached without much problem, but the scar was magically reinforced into a tattoo, much to his chagrin.

10. The tattoo he got when graduating from definitely not wizard school. He prefers not getting naked around other people, not because of any sense of shame which he does not have, but because it's a bit difficult explain why he has a fucking grimour tattooed over his ass. (Also fun fact, the text i got from the Mersebuger Zaubersprüche, the oldest documented german spells and among the few still suriving texts in old german referencing pre christian mythological figures, in this case Odin and Baldur. It is also a spell against foot injuries. Mostly just cause i thought it'd be funny.)

Get ready for another art explosion. 

I made a tattoo map of my Zabrak powertech, Tanax Aeqo.

Stopped playing him a while ago, but it was fun to puzzle out anyways.

They all had meanings, but the only one i remember was the stylized mandolorian skull on his back, which he of course got after being accepted into Mandalore’s clan post-Great Hunt.

I traced the figure itself, but all the tattoos are mine.
