Huevember day 6: Emperor John Gaius

—

The only splash of colour was an enormous portrait of the Emperor as Kindly Master, with an expression of beatific peace.

(NB: i have not reread so if any of these characters canonically do have tattoos pretend you didn't see it)

John: 0/10, needle weenie

Mercymorn: 1/10, the only time she'd ever consider it is if john was there and she wanted to stick it in his face

Augustine: 0/10. he has no interest in it at all. HOWEVER, A--- would have a matching tattoo with his brother (john erases it during the resurrection)

Pyrrha: 1000/10, tatted up to the nines, it's the thing she misses most about her body.

G1deon: 3/10 - maybe like one fratty bicep tattoo but that's it

Cytherea: this one has genuinely stumped me. i literally can't figure it out

Judith: 5/10, she has one of those classic military tattoos

Marta: 4/10, probably wouldn't bother spending the money

Ianthe: 0/10. she unironically says “you wouldn’t put a bumper sticker on a ferrari”

Coronabeth: 7/10, ONLY for external validation. she wants to piss off her mom, she wants ianthe to exclaim in disgust at it, she wants her dad to pay for it to be removed and not go to any of the sessions, she wants judith to think she’s hot. it’s a butterfly on her lower back and it’s exactly as y2k as you’re imagining

Babs: 0/10 next question

The Teens: N/A i genuinely believe that young teenagers can't get tattooed in the nine houses. because john's a needle weenie

Abigail: 4/10, she'd be one of those people with replica archeological tattoos but it's like. a pacman ghost

Magnus: 6/10. traditional, sailor-style, big heart with 'MOM' in it. all the classics

Palamedes: 10/10 he already has one and it's on his arse

Camilla: 5/10. she probably has no objection to the idea, but i don't imagine she would actively seek out a tattoo unless offered.

Paul: surprisingly, 0/10. they feel weird about it

Dulcinea: 10/10 she's here for a good time not a long time

Protesilaus: 9/10. it's poetry quotes.

Silas: -100000/10 and he's a dick about people who have them

Colum: 10/10 it's a barcode

Harrow: 10/10. she's Māori and she fucks with tradition heavy

Gideon: 8/10. she wants a full sleeve but she's never going to be able to afford it in her wildest dreams. she works overtime for a year to save up and only manages like a single skull and crossbones.

Ortus: -1000/10, needle weenie to the highest extreme. his mother holds his hand when he gets his jabs
