Just a hermit

[Rainbowbulldog]

Nope ^-^

For rp I like fantasy settings and casual settings. I like to hangout with my friends but I need quite a bit of alone time. I really like reading too, especially with fantasy or science fiction books. I like camping but most of the time I stay home and re-watch a tv show or work on writing something but when it comes to writing I have a problem with leaving it unfinished...

Oh and I almost forgot.. what tattoo did you get?

[Galefargion]

Im very similar, Particularly with the writing. That day I got this one on my elbow. The wrist one I did myself (sorry for the flash)

Those are some cool tattoos 

[Galefargion]

Thanks, I want alot more. It takes some time to decide though because each one has to have deep and multiple personal reasons for me

[Rainbowbulldog]

That's understandable 

[Galefargion]

I kinda have a thing for simplicity too.. I see alot of really beautiful high detailed work, but i usually prefer solid black stuff and i like to do it the oldest possible way if i can (bamboo rods and string)

[Rainbowbulldog]

How do the bamboo rods and string work? I've heard of it but I don't know what the process is.

[Galefargion]

Kinda easier to explain in person. Well the string holds the ink and as pressure is put on it some ink is released. The bamboo is in sharpened spikes of varying lengths (depending on purpose and personal preference) and is either twisted (rolled) on the skin to puncture or inserted at a slight angle directly. Each pass only (depending again on the shape of bamboo) usually makes a single dot, so even small tattoos take hundreds of times longer than mechanical ones do. I use india ink, but in tibet they are known to use a mixture of charcoal and snake venom among other things (its a secret). Those tattoos are known as magick yantra tattoos and only monks may do them. I would love one someday

[Rainbowbulldog]

That sounds really interesting  why do you prefer getting tattoos that way if you don't mind me asking?

[Galefargion]

Call me a modern primitive I guess. I like there to be a certain spirit of naturalism, antiquity, and journey to much of what I do.

[Rainbowbulldog]

Yeah that's a pretty good reason

[Galefargion]

Heart full of earth, Head full of sky

[Rainbowbulldog]

That sounds vaguely familiar...

[Galefargion]

Haha I have it tattooed on my left arm. most people couldnt place where its from

[Rainbowbulldog]

Haha I bet not where is it from? It sounds so familiar.
