superiorhousewifetonystark what I wouldn’t give to take a trip to Italy like the one you described! SIGH

Right? Let’s go together! 😀

Also, PS, we need to talk about Vampire Chronicles I think because it’s no where on my dash ever unless it’s the movies and I will not have a Lestat tattoo in vain! 

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT YOU HAVE A LESTAT TATTOO???? I’m going to get one too, I know /exactly/ what I want the design to look like, but I haven’t yet settled on a quote to weave into it just yet. 

(sorry for busting in here) Do share pics of these Lestat tattoos when/if they happen! This isn’t mine but someone got this of Louis & Claudia…

Can your kind get tattoos, Lestat? Rapid healing and all that, but would the ink still stick? Have you ever tried or thought to try?

In theory, yes, I suppose we can get tattoos. Granted, it would be a great deal tougher on the artist considering how hard they would have to press just  to break our skin. Depending on how old the immortal is, it may not work at all. Ultimately, however, the ink would  be rejected by our bodies, and by morning the tattoo would be gone entirely.

Since you mentioned me as a potential reference re: The Lost Boys vampires and tattoos (I’m oddly flattered to be considered the TLB reference, by the way): no, in the movie none of them are shown to have tattoos–just piercings. However, in theory I think they would indeed retain any tattoos they had from when they were human, and could get permanent ones after being turned (which could be removed by scraping/cutting/etc. off the tattooed skin and letting it regenerate to its natural state).

You are ABSOLUTELY The Lost Boys authority! 

thank you for your commentary on tattoos, I agree 100%. I think it would be the same for the Ricean vampires. 

So a tattoo, gotten before or after turning, could potentially be permanent, or it could be removed as you’ve described.

What do you think would happen if a vampire got a tattoo? Would it stay?

Well first of all, there are so many kinds of vampires to consider, all different interpretations, different physiologies, blah blah… my immediate thought is that 30 Days of Night vampires could have tattoos from before they were turned that would endure, and same for The Lost Boys vampires, and further, I think The Lost Boys vampires could get permanent tattoos after being turned, too. I don’t think we ever see if they do, that’d be a question for skeletalroses (Can you speak to that?).

RICEAN vampires are my fave (of course)(this being a Vampire Chronicles blog) so I’ll just focus on them.

So I don’t remember, but I think one of the Fang Gang dudes from QotD had tattoos… 

As far as my opinion tho… I think they CAN GET a tattoo because they can be pierced with needles and such (especially when they’re allowing themselves to be cut/pierced) but it wouldn’t stay too long. The ink would probably be rejected by their system the same way alcohol and drugs swim around, affecting them temporarily, but evaporate eventually. 

So they could get a tattoo and it might last a night or so. Think of the terrible tatts Lestat could get! Cheesy “MOM” hearts, or “Born to be Wild” for example. We could keep going. They would all be out-of-touch trying-to-be-cool things that he would torture Louis with. Even face tattoos, like the one in the Hangover. 

Tom Cruise as Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages was Aging-Brunet-Mortal!Lestat. Just look at this dude. Crucifix on the forearm, pistols on the waistband-area… a dragon curling around a pec, batwings on his back… ugh my heart.
