[Feanor]More Tattoo!Noldor - Nerdanel this time, because I love her to an inordinate degree. Also pinning down my cultural tattoo headcanons, to wit:House heraldry originally started as “clan” ID tattoos. Nerdanel is second-generation, and can only trace her family tree back to one pair of Unbegotten elves (Mahtan and his wife), while Feanor is third-generation, so he has the devices for both Finwë’s parents and Miriel’s. Their kids would have three devices, etc. etc.Re: Aulendur tattoos, location indicates general field of expertise, while the design corresponds to a specific field of study. Shoulder blade tattoos are for engineering (mechanical for Feanor, architectural for Nerdanel Nerdanel’s low-back is for stonemasonry, with a specialty in decorative masonry/stonecarving; Feanor’s shoulder-yoke is for metalwork, with a focus on gold and silversmithing; and Feanor’s bicep bands are for chemistry/materials science, specifically his focus on gemcraft.  -- source link
