Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got several gifts to show you from the Marketplace, so you can add some creative tattoos to your wardrobe for free. There is always an impressive variety there, and you can use search words while narrowing down the results with the options on the left like price and categories. The ones I am showing tonight are all free and all BOM layers so they are compatible with most mesh bodies as well as classic avatars. I had a great time exploring the marketplace as usual, and I don't have a special tattoo that I wear regularly so it was fun to experiment and try to decide what type of look suits my avatar. In all of tonight's pictures I am wearing a bikini that I also found for free on the marketplace, a beauty from LOVELACE that has appeared here on my blog in the past.
First we see the NANITAS DESIGNA-Borboletas Tattoo gift, which has several BOM layers included - full, upper, and lower each in fresh and faded versions. I am wearing the full piece on both sides above, fresh on the left and faded to the right. Our body art appears across the chest, on both arms, on our back, and down the front of both thighs. The butterflies (borboletas translates to butterflies) are so lovely, and having greenery around them is a beautiful touch.
The [sovereign] Mandala Gift Tattoo BOM I found next is a gorgeous, detailed style that I think suits my tastes quite well :) I'm never sure what to call this placement...ribcage or upper abdomen maybe? Underboob sounds accurate too, lol, but less official. There are faded, fresh, and medium versions included of this beauty, and I'm wearing the medium for the photo.
You don't have to be a Slytherin to be drawn to snakes, like I was to this GIFT - Holly Ink - Serpent. Our scaly new friend is coiled above a bouquet of red roses, with a few buds surrounding them. We can choose between faded and fresh versions as both BOM layers are included.
My next look might be a bit hard for you to read here, but that just means that the only ones reading it when you wear it will be those you choose to let close enough ;) The !ReXna - [GIFT] Joyful x Chest Tattoo has stunning butterflies in soft washes of color, with a quote that I didn't recognize at first but it is a Bible verse (Romans 12:12). As a matter of fact, it reads "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" then "Romans 12:12" in between the wheat sheathes at the bottom. Now I'm not one to preach here, and the main reason I am sharing this is because the idea of being joyful, full of hope, and patient feels extra important as of late. It's like looking at a religious painting and recognizing that there is beauty in the artwork :) To be fair I've shared things here that would horrify the nuns who taught me all those years ago, but I doubt they would have been fond of tattoos in general or this skimpy bikini. There are faded and regular layers included here, and this store has other gifts available as well for free on the marketplace.
My final look of the night is our Hannah's Tattoos Skulls on Sleeve - GIFT, a single BOM layer that is unisex and suitable for any BOM compatible body. The roses have a pretty salmon coloring to them, growing among skulls and I do spy a cross in the middle there supporting the thorny stems. I wonder if they are climbing peace roses, which I recall my parents growing at our first house :) Those need a trellis or fence to lean on like this, and ours had a similar color. My favorite thing we had in the backyard at that house was the miniature roses though, as I liked to borrow a bloom or two (carefully and with permission) for my dolls. Who knew a tattoo would make me so sentimental?
I hope you all had a lovely weekend :) Mine was okay, nothing much exciting honestly, and I had therapy earlier so I am still pondering some topics discussed there. I've got a dentist appointment very soon which has my anxiety soaring, but I also have some coping skills I can try out. Wishing you all a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
