welcome2thegoondocks said: I really like your drawing of dancer grantaire and I was wondering if you could tell me what his tattoos say. I have really bad eyesite and can't really make them out.

oh yes of course! i can separate it in my ideas and vicky's. 

mine

left arm: 

various patterns and flowers that are just there because they're pretty. i can see him filling things in here and there with patterns and images he finds pretty, maybe to cover up some scars or just him being tired of seeing so much skin. his arms are a permanent canvas.

wings of hermes, bc he's a classics nerd lbr

a capital R - a tattoo made at montparnasse's place. reason unknown. possibly made during a moment of self love and self respect while on drugs.

right arm:

more patterns. there's also a trans symbol there somewhere, not visible in any of my drawings yet though.

"I will clamber through the clouds and exist" - quote from john keats

misc:

pylades written in greek signs across his left collarbone. more classics nerd things.

there's probably more and more to come but these are the ones that are visible so far

vicky's (copy pasted directly from her blog)

ad astra per aspera - i mentioned this in the second chapter. it’s a latin phrase meaning ‘to the stars through difficulty’, and it goes around the wrist of his right hand. feuilly tattooed it and it’s in his handwriting in capitals. there is a story behind it but i think i should keep that for later! there’s a backstory about feuilly and grantaire’s past together that’s starting to show itself.

blue and red lines - ok so these are going to be explained in ch13 but i’ll do a little here. the colours mean specific things, and they go red-blue-red-blue etc (example). they’re on his left forearm starting from just below the elbow like this, and at the time of ch12 there are two red lines and two blue lines.

once again love gazes at me from under his dark lashes, melting me with his eyes - ibycus - this is on the left side of his ribcage and is a quote from a classical poem. it’s in jehan’s handwriting (think loopy, think gorgeous, think slanted writers’ handwriting). yes so one night they’re all at the musain drinking after a meeting has finished and grantaire usually sits by himself at the back for those instead of with joly and bossuet when he’s feeling particularly glum. so enjolras is joking around with ferre and courf and feuilly at the front and jehan sees the look of grantaire’s face when enjolras’ eyes rest on him for a moment, and he goes over there and recites this quote to grantaire and it’s painfully true and grantaire wants to remember it forever.

boys don’t cry - a silly stick n poke that he made eponine do for him one particularly sad night, on his right bicep (inspired by this)
