Turians: When did you get your faces tattooed?

Celeste, no, the implications are not pleasing, but since I'm the one who gave Lucia the clear to go out with a gun, I'm going to answer this.

We were about to be overrun by husks and everyone who could hold a weapon and fight was doing so. Prior to that point Lucia had held guard over the infants rather than take part in combat.

Lucia is twenty-three. So, when you do the math, that is both far younger than she ought to have been, and an older equivalent age than Sicaria or I were when we got ours.

Having experienced firsthand what war does to children, I hope you believe me when I say I had hoped to avoid such a necessity and I remain regretful that it was, in fact, necessary.

You might argue that the battle teeth addition to the Solregit facial tattoo is a glorification of war and death, and you may be right, but the ritual which accompanies the tattoo is designed to ease someone through the inherit trauma of having taken a life for the first time, and I for one found it helpful.

I had the full tattoo set when I was six and have had to have it redone regularly during my life as my growth distorted the markings.

Also Sicaria, I sincerely hope you're not teaching Lucia that shotguns are the answer to life's problems.

of course not sniper rifles r the answer to lifes problems

I don't think anyone should wear solregit facepaint in front of civilized company myself, really.

Indeed you did now. I am not directly affected though since I replied to your original post I think I should acknowledge this one.

No, it was *when* to get them. So far as I understand, you can choose when to get them, he was waiting until after college, but his parents disagreed.

Oh wait shit this is still going on.

Ffs lady, I fucking said I don't care if you're raised up in it or if it's actually a thing for you. I'm saying that it's a weird as shit thing to do for like co-ed blues who haven't had a turian dad since they were still crawling on the fucking floor, or who just like it 'cause no really they're fringies guys it's in their blooooood~. How is that so hard to get. Why is that so hard to get? Or are you just nursing that rage based murderboner out of habit?

Man like. If there's one thing that everyone thinks of when you mention kiddie soldiers. One thing. It's totally how bringing 'em as as a point in your favor makes you seem hardcore an yet so so grounded.

Missing the point girly, I mean like okay one: depends on the place, lot of places have it as a whole bit Coming Of Age thing and two: who the fuck doesn't jump at it. 'Specially if he was Big-H. That'd mean like...shit what. He did three years of boot barefaced? Who the fuck does that?

Harrad did.

Hard jobs: Public relations firm to the Sundowners.

not funny

Yeah funny?

Sundowners sell poppy and tattoo "Killer" on their kid's faces?

I have seen it. Swear to the Spirits.

avulsion u r kind of a jerk u know?

vindi said earlier the point of the tattoo ceremony is to get you OVER the trauma of killing someone

which is pretty frigging freaky let me tell you

i mean it's like there's something in you screaming it's wrong, it's bad, you don't do that

i hear it's just as bad if you do it in self defense or something you still feel it

what are we supposed to do, be traumatized for like forever??

One, why you assuming I'm not a killer? I was here on Omega though the entire occupation, Citadel girl. And we're medics, we loose patients. Despite not tattooing it on my face, I deal.

Two, I know of what I speak, I have seen Sundowner man slinging poppy while dragging around clingy death-glare underfed battle-teeth girl (who he was probably fucking).

Three, it's funny.
