au where everyone is born with a very unique tattoo on their ankle, nobody else in the world has that tattoo.
every time you fall in love with someone, their tattoo appears somewhere else on your body. (not necessarily soulmates, just who you fall in love with.)
imagine people who fall in love easily having their bodies completely covered in tattoos.
aromantics who only have their own ankle tattoo on their body.
people who have love affairs having to cover up the other secret tattoo from their spouse/partner.
a new tattoo appearing on a celebrity’s body in new photos and a very lucky fan (who had recently met the celebrity) realizing that it’s their tattoo.
elderly ladies sitting around tables in nursing homes telling the story behind each of their tattoos.
kindergartners who giggle as they look at their own ankle tattoos together and dream about the future tattoos they’ll have when they’re all grown up.
people trying their best to deface tattoos of ex-lovers who broke their hearts, but they can never go away.
just think about this, guys.
ok but when u realize you have your partners tattoo and yours never shows up on them
THAT LAST ONE IS NOT NICE
@amusewithaview hurt me please
Why do you want me to do sad things? WHY? Also, I dislike that these marks are just for romantic love. Why can’t you have one on each ankle, one for romance and one for platonic love?
- Imagine aromantics who one day see their romantic mark on someone, pulling them aside and explaining that they’ll never reciprocate that way. Imagine them becoming friends and the joy they both feel when the romantic mark slowly becomes platonic.
- Imagine a child learning about marks in school and going home to ask to see their platonic marks on their parents. Except only one parent has a mark…
- Imagine obsessive love, dangerous love, making the mark on a person’s skin twist a little, go jagged and smeared.
- Imagine moments of intense love making the mark glow.
- Imagine a couple where one person suddenly develops a new mark they won’t discuss, making the other confused and suspicious… until they reveal that they’re pregnant.
- Imagine that reincarnation exists, and that’s the only way a mark can be duplicated perfectly. People looking at paintings and sculptures and wondering if someday an archeologist will discover a depiction of their mark.
