Well well! My pleasure! & thank you so much! Im happy to hear you’ve enjoyed it! 💗

I was actually pretty torn about what Omega’s first tattoo should be. Initially I wanted it to be the rainbow sticker tattoo - the same that Crosshair got himself, if you remember one of my previous comics. However, this didn’t really feel right. I felt like for her first tattoo Omega would like to include her brothers as well as pay a tribute to who she is. Which led me think about the other clones’ tattoos.

Crosshair has a very obvious one and it directly refers to his skills. Hunter’s one is a bit vogue, however, given that a skull has been the Force 99’s symbol, it makes sense that Hunter would have gotten that tattoo to honour his squad. Clones in general seem to be quite sentimental and strive for sense of identity - be it through tattoos or the armour paintings. And especially Omega, seems to have deep understanding of the clone identity. She was sad when the Kamino got destroyed by the Empire and that’s exactly the thought that kinda brought me to the design.

On the tattoo you see 6 clone tubes - representing the bad batch as a whole by number, however, also referring to all of the clones created in the lab. As we know, Omega was raised in the lab and thus, most likely, she saw a lot of the beginning of clone creation. I believe she would feel deeply attached to the cloning process not because - like Kaminoans - of the science and experiments but because of the life that was being created. Even though she was apart from them in their development stages, she desperately wanted to be one of them. She understood that they’re the same.

In the middle there is writing - in Mandalorian - that translates to ‘family’. And this one I think is pretty self explanatory. I think this tattoo aligns with Omega’s general ability to see good in things. She wouldn’t refuse who she is or how they all have been created. She would’ve accepted that and then take the most positive thing that came out of - which is her family.

To conclude, for Omega, i think this tattoo would be a reminder of who she is and she would take pride in it.

Why Mandalorian, you ask? Just another nod to their heritage and their sentimentality.

Well, well! This has been just posted 😌

Thank you sooo much for the prompt, i actually had that idea as well but lacked motivation to do it but after seeing this message and knowing that it just sits here I felt a bit more encouraged to paint it.

And well, once i realised that its an opportunity to paint hunter with bits of gray hair - how could've i resisted 😌
