Is there an industry for it in either city? How would residents of either city feel about body modifications of that nature?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks!<br /> |DateAnswered=2025-07-07<br /> |AnswerText=In Karteria, feelings are mixed, when it comes to tattoos/piercings. Some view it as an important part of self-expression- others find it vulgar. There&#039;s plenty who don&#039;t care one way or another. It&#039;s not even &lt;i&gt;particularly&lt;/i&gt; class-based, as there&#039;s plenty of upper class who favor the idea of putting art on themselves (they&#039;re less forgiving with piercings, beyond those in the ears- and the occasional lip, for the &#039;rebellious&#039;). It is quite an expensive hobby, after all, when it&#039;s done properly- so it becomes its own marker of status. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Generally, you&#039;re more likely to be judged for the quality of your tattoo, rather than its existence. Tattoo/piercing shops exist within all strata of the city. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kelesians are even more laid back about it. They&#039;re less likely to judge even poor-quality art, or tasteless subject matter, and are more likely to ask questions about it, like if it has any particular meaning (Karterians will probably not ask, viewing it as a more personal matter). As Kelesian society is rather egalitarian, body modifications also convey nothing about one&#039;s &#039;status&#039;. Anyone can have them. Multiple shops to get work done also exist within Kelesis.<br /> }}</div>
