[The hair. Oh dear god, the hair. Kyle's recognizable mass of curls has been gelled within an inch of its life and sculpted into a wavy helmet. And where are his sleeves?!]

Yo Trench, what up what up, it's ya boy Kyley-B!

So's I need a little help here - anybody know a place in town where you can get some dope-ass ink? Because, you know, if you look up 'too much swag' in the dictionary, there'll be a great big picture of my face, and attitude like that deserves the best, you know what I'm sayin'?

Help a guy out here.

PEACE!

Ursula's Ink I believe is in Prufrock? I recommend Henna. It's not permanent, but you can use it to get an idea what you like on your body before you do something longer term and permanent.

[And totally not because he was clearly cursed and as much as she liked her tattoos on her face, not everyone wanted to wake up to Karkat's name on their ass and a massive hangover from skin shedding. Nope.]

aw why bother if it ain't forever?

Re: text;

[onerthes]

Now now, look at my face. I'm not about to tell you not to get permanent ink. I rather enjoy it myself. The secret is to know exactly what you want or need first. Henna's nice because you can test a few designs out, see how they look on your body for a few days.

Perfect to get the canvas just right. It's going to be with you forever, so it should be perfect, right?

[kyley_b]

see this is why you're the reasonable friend.

everything i do is perfect! but yeah ok i guess i see your point.

[onerthes]

Hey, I'd be a hypocrite if I told people not to get tattooed, now wouldn't I? A filthy filthy hypocrite, and I'm not about to do that. Just have to be perfect, and you've got the right idea!

If I may ask? What were you thinking?

[kyley_b]

you do have those bitchin face tats. makes it look like you went to a women's prison. hot.

well i was GONNA get my boo's name but he's throwin a tantrum so
probably get one for my ma.

[onerthes]

Haha, does it? I didn't know.

They're a tribal thing, related to my magic. But I'll take 'hot' when it comes to them. And that's probably not a bad idea. Make it something with deep meaning for yourself.

[One never knew if names of loved ones ultimately changed, and laser treatments hurt.]

[kyley_b]

totally!

whoa they're magic?!
yeah, moms are forever.

[onerthes]

Not exactly magic, but more spiritual. Think of them like part of focusing? Yes, that's it. Focusing on my arts.

True enough. We will always have our mothers deep inside.

[Mind you, she had a shitty relationship with hers, but she wasn't going to question his.]

[kyley_b]

damn. that's pretty dope. all witchy and shit.

or outside, yellin at us.

[onerthes]

Hah, in fairness I haven't heard mine's voice in my life for a very long time. We lost touch some time before the war, though I know the tribe was doing well so she's fine.

But I do miss her voice from time to time. We will always love our mothers I think.

[kyley_b]

yeah. we always will.

[Every version of Kyle will, anyway.]

[onerthes]

Tell me more about her one of these days. I'd love to hear about her, though not on the text. Better things to do in person, if you ask me.

[kyley_b]

yo that's a deal. we'll hang soon!
