Joshua is going to end up with an Eye of Horus Artifacty-tattoo on his upper right arm. It's symbolic, it's not actually his choice, but he's going to like it. No prominent scars anywhere, (yet) either. Otherwise, he doesn't really go for things himself, but if someone else wants to do things to themselves, it's their body.

Helena doesn't have anything and likely won't get anything. Unless she surprises me. She might have an Artifact scar somewhere, but she hasn't told me.

Enzo always wanted to get his ear pierced, and did so for his last birthday. He may also, like his elder self, get a tattoo when he's older, but he wouldn't want to get them all over. Something localized, tasteful, and personal. Even his eminently respectable sister has a couple of discreet tats, so he has not been raised to think at all poorly of them. He would not be inclined to get anything else.

I find it interesting, however, to note that on Wikipedia's (sometimes horrifying) list of types of bodily modification, one of the bits people may choose to have surgically removed is the nipples. Male sprites simply don't have those. If you're formed by programming rather than evolution, you don't end up with as many redundant bits.

While she isn't inclined to do anything to herself (except changing hair color) she is unlikely to do it to herself, but would be willing to forgive as long as it doesn't involve losing limbs.

Tommy would absolutely not get any tattoos or piercings. He's actually pretty conservative when it comes to that type of thing (being the parent of a rebellious teenager). But if he were the sort to get inked, he'd most likely get an FDNY maltese cross with his truck company number.

Oddly enough, of my charries, only Teja has them. At present, he has a tattoo of four cats fighting a dragon, in animal style, a design of Pyrrha!Loki's. He used to have a piercing while he was with Charlie Monroe, but then, that body was killed again by Urquhart...

#the fun of having dead pups

Hannibal only modifies other people's bodies in a permanent and mostly fatal way...

Ray's not particularly interested in the prospect except in terms of medically necessary prosthetics (at least until Romana could help him replace the missing part with something more organic).

Gordon just glares at the sentiment. I'm gonna go with 'no'.

Shephard had a bulldog tattoo before canon began and currently has a silver arm below the right elbow, which he has come to greatly appreciate. He'd probably consider another tat somewhere at some point but I don't think he feels like replacing any more meat parts with metal. (He thinks of his two hands as 'the meat hand' and 'the metal one' at this point.)

Medic's idea of body modifications involves upgraded biological parts, possibly taken from other sources (whether human or other species) or possibly grown and modified in the lab. Also with chemical alterations and upgrades. He's just fine with those. Cyberware strikes him as crude and questionable at best.

Varric has an earring and sees nothing wrong with most earrings or tattoos. Lyrium tattoos are something the Tevinters do to achieve magical effects, and while Fenris looks good with them he's aware that they're not particularly comfortable or necessarily wanted by the people who have them.

Mordin is from a galaxy where multiple species routinely conduct genetic screening and possible alteration to remove serious defect before birth, where genetic boosts are routinely applied to newly accepted military recruits, and where a significant percentage of several species' populations have what amount to psychic superpowers controlled by various grades of implant. He himself has no such mods but doesn't see why this is a question. It should be 'what degree of modification', if anything. Oh, and that mark on his forehead is a tattoo. I've millicanoned it as the mark of a salarian academic fraternity. So.

Santo would not get mods himself and thinks tattoos are best kept to sailors and the like. Ladies are welcome to pierce their ears.

Ellen.... is not so big on them. It's not her business if other people get them; she can deal with a lot of things under the heading of 'it's their own business and no one else's', but she was the victim of unwilling and horrifically intrusive medical experimentation and she's not about to go altering anything else at this point, thank you verymuch.

Mmmm... probably not.

Felix, I could see braiding stuff into his hair and possibly beard, but probably nothing beyond that.

It's suggested in canon that Fluttershy may have tail extensions, but I don't see her doing anything else. Earrings are apparently a thing in Equestria, but I think not Fluttershy's thing. (Also the ones we've seen may just be stick-ons; I certainly don't recall any holes in Rarity's ears in other scenes.)

Kain is himself. And that's all he has to say on the matter.

Now, Sazed... Saze's canonically got lots and lots of earrings. Also bracers and rings and stuff, but those aren't so much relevant. However, on one occasion he sort-of-accidentally gets some rings embedded in his abdomen, which he has removed as soon as it's feasible. So I think not so much.

Gene - no. Stuff like that's only for hippies and louts.

Bruce Wayne - no. Just not interested.

Javert - no. Tattoos and brands are for criminals ad convicts.

Bruce Banner - HAHAHAHAHAHA. Well. He's not happy about he way his body modifies itself, but what's he gonna do?

This face. At you. Forever.

Star isn't really corporeal, without being like everything ever at the same time. So many people draw strength from talismans, tattoos, and body jewelry. So she doesn't have body modifications (what with not really being a body), she more can be body modifications.

Marian is staring at this whole concept like someone asked her if she wanted to be an unwashed ruffian. This said Lucy Griffiths, her actress, actually has a left-side tregas piercing and you can make it out sometimes as you're going through canon. So, you know. There could be an argument made, but it's also not always there either.

Jean has problems enough keeping her body hers, and, oh yeah, alive. Pierced ears is probably as much as she'd ever do though. Edward, if it were possible, would probably have tattooed the Cullen crest on his body somewhere at least seven decades ago now. Popular opinion, between myself and at least one other person, would have been the inside rise of his right hip.

Jo probably has pierced ears, as another one of those her mother wanted her to be A Normal Little Girl things, and really does not wear earrings, even studs, because why give someone who wants to kill you an easier way to hurt/distract you/tear your skin open in a fight. Aside from that she might get a demon tattoo, because she'd see the point in that, but nothing else would ever be done.

Steve has several tattoos. They are large, and obvious. Alex O'loughlin has even more. For the sake of canon it's general acknowledged he has the massive ones on his biceps, and the one stretching across his lower back and edged up around the side of his hips. (~~This is reminding me I need to make an entry and link pictures to his profile, since they are as red light obvious as his badge and gun at first glance.~~ *cough*)

As far as speculation, too? He'd probably rather tattoo a band on his finger, or something else somewhere else, than ever wear a ring. He does not like having things on himself, any more than his clothes, that could get caught on things and cause ' extra problems/deterrents' during the event of any H50 case or SEAL mission. The only extra on weapons he's probably comfortable with at this point is his dogtags.

Peeta, Snow and Mary Margaret aren't intereste in the slightest. Audrey's body could be argued to be modified already. In truly drastic, intrinsic, cellular/creationist/magical, ways that Audrey herself knows nothing about at the beginning of the summer/year she arrives in Haven.

Yugo has neither - he wouldn't be opposed to ear piercings, but Japan has Views on tattoos, and tends to associate any kind of tattooing automatically with the yakuza. Yugo is probably more eager than most to draw any kind of comparison between himself and the yakuza, so tattoos are a big no for him.

Of course, at the moment, he has a wrist-width gold disk grafted onto his arm. That definitely counts as body modification. He's pretty much fine with that, though.

Atton has pierced ears! I've wavered back and forth over whether he has any tattoos, but probably not. He's not opposed to them, he just doesn't have any. As far as cyborg limbs go, the most he'd consider is mechanical eyes if he lost his regular ones.

Leo Fudou has no bodily modifications, probably wouldn't get piercings or tattoos, but if he lost a limb he totally would craft himself a biomechanical replacement. Probably encased in flesh-melting soul metal. Because he's a mad scientist.

That might change, because his brother totally does have a bodily modification: One of his hands has been replaced with a red, demonic claw.

Leonardo da Vinci has none, hasn't thought about getting any, and probably only would if he somehow needed to craft a prosthesis for himself.

Seamus Finnigan has none, but isn't opposed to them.

Teddy Lupin has none, and wouldn't get any, for practical reasons: He spends a lot of time doing undercover work using his metamorphmagus abilities. Any kind of bodily modification (er, apart from that which he does naturally) would give him away.

Ben Grimm - Might have been then type to have a gang tattoo but I don't think it ever happened. Now it's beyond the realm of possible and with his renewed interest in religion, I don't think he would if he could. He wouldn't be opposed to replacement limbs when needed, in fact alternate realities have shown him with a cybernetic arm (see MU2).

Hank McCoy - Is a big no but I'm tempted to say he has some small tattoo somewhere he got on a dare from Raven. Definitely no piercings. I don't see that he would choice to replace any part of his body with artificial limbs, though secretly he'd be tempted by the tech.

Andrea Nash - Another pup who is incapable of have tattoos or piercings. If she could, I think she'd go for a belly button piercing or a small tattoo but nothing major.

Quilan Vos - Already has clan tattoos on his face and right bicep. I don't know that he'd get anything else done, if it ever exists in the Star Wars universe. He'd be fine with replacing lost limbs with mechanical but would prefer eventual replacement with a part cloned.

Anton - He is saying, "Nyet!", with a vehement shake of his head.

Jessica Drew - Her inherent paranoia says to not allow any distinguishing marks. I am not sure if she would rebel against her training to have something done anyway. This is worth exploring.

Mike, Raph, and Splinter all look at each other.

"No comment."

Aang has tattoos, I'd count that as a body modifier. He loves his tattoos. I don't think he loved the act of actually getting the tattoos, or the healing process...save for the fact that both of them had an "end point."

Bumi has a large back tattoo as well.

Mark's of an age that piercings and tattoos might be kind of cool, but he's... well, invincible. It'd take something pretty ferociously strong to pierce his skin. Although, other Viltrumites have been shown with cybernetics, including eyes and limbs, so there exists in canon things that could do body modifications on Mark.

Lydia has pierced ears. That's as far as she goes.

The Ice King sometimes shaves his beard.

Merlin does not have any, but I can see him getting some in later centuries.

Bilbo's society doesn't really do that.

Steve... ah ha ha, Steve. The supersoldier serum was modification enough.

Amascut would not be able to keep any modification for long. Except when it comes to her hair. I tried to millicanon that bits of adamant were embedded in her arms after her fight with Apmeken, but Amascut wouldn't let me keep those in as a reason why she doesn't use more powerful god-scale magics. Because ow. She opted to have her arms bitten off by one of her gorilla godlings instead.

She got better.

Fairy Fixit ... I doubt it. It would interfere. Somehow. She might go for antennae that are sensitive to something they aren't sensitive to now, but then most of the time they are tucked under a hardhat anyway.

Er, no.

He might have gotten a tattoo, had he been in the SAS in a later era, but no, he doesn't have any.

Other people are welcome to do with their bodies what they wish, as long as they are prepared to face the consequences for the rest of their life.

Edited 2013-06-29 21:51 (UTC)

As for the rest of mine:

None of them have any, none of them want any, Jack will be getting a prosthetic, but that will be necessity, not choice.

Other people are welcome to them.

Cy has, in a very real sense, had body modifications. But beyond that, he isn't the sort who wants tats or piercings. Tats represent something negative, given the gangs in his old school. He knows this is not fair to the millions whose body art is something more. But it's hard to get past that.

Gibbs has tattoos, as befits a pirate. As long as the body mods aren't splitting your tongue, he really doesn't object to much, but his limit is tattoos.

Howard sees tattoos as almost a norm given how many soldiers have them. Anything else would be too odd.

I don't think anyone gets tattoos in Kirk's day. But I don't think it's a big deal, given how easy removing them would be.

And Knox is grossed out by anything more than earrings on women. To his mind, men don't wear jewelry, and tattoos are icky and also tainted by what was done to the Jews by the Nazis.

Clem thinks her body is a canvas and is the most likely to get further mods done - her back is already covered in tattoos, and you only live once, so why not?

Jules can't get anything too obvious because she does undercover work, body mods are generally before Dixie's time, and her stage career also prevents it.

Pinkie has her ears pierced, and that's as far as she'd go, IMOHO.
