After the show ~This Metal/Grunge!Geralt is completely inspired by @thecomfortofoldstorries ‘s amazing AU (click to read the first and the second part, trust me you really should). You did a great job with this one, thank you so much for sharing it with us!I fell in love with this work so hard that I couldn’t help giving my small contribution. From the moment I’ve started working on this piece, headcanons about Geralt’s particular look took shape into my mind and I want to share them with you:The first tattoo Geralt got is the horse on his right shoulder. Roach is a symbol of his past and his childhood. Lambert thinks it’s a bit funny because both tattoos on his right arm represent the fact that Geralt prefers animals to people. The tattoo on his left elbow is part of The Witchers’ logo and all the bandmates wear it with pride.The last tattoo he got is the little sparrow on his neck. Geralt and Ciri, his little sister, went to the tattoo parlor as soon as she turned 18. She chose the design and he paid for both of them. She had been talking about getting a tattoo for a year and Geralt, being a tall, big man covered in ink, couldn’t deny her wish without feeling like a hypocrite.The geometric tattoo on Geralt’s left shoulder is a cover-up. In his mid-twenties, he fell in love with Yennefer and their relationship was an emotional rollercoaster for him and all the people around. The morning he woke up with this crazy idea in mind, Geralt went to the tattoo parlor to get a bouquet of lilacs and gooseberries tattooed on his arm, no regrets. When he got back home, Eskel wasn’t really convinced by this great love gesture (actually, he said that it was a very “Lambert idea”) but Geralt is nothing if not very stubborn. When they finally broke up, Geralt had to go through a few painful tattoo sessions. Every time he went to rehearsal after a session, Lambert would greet him with a heavy hand on his sore shoulder and remind him that fortunately he didn’t get his ex’s name tattooed on his ass (you can see a bit of purple under the geometric shapes).After so many years on stage, Geralt’s look has become a bit more gentle: he gave up wearing lip and nose piercings and he said goodbye to heavy make-up. He still wears a touch of black kohl (yes, Ciri learned how to do her make up watching her brother), and he still has a few patch of skin he wants to cover with tattoos.+ Smol Jaskier is back guys, and he’s enjoying the view. -- source link
