The Forge by Sublime Penguin

Fanwork Information

Summary:

Gereth at her forge.

As far as I know, there's no lore regarding elves and tattoos. I love the idea that they might have had them, but with special ink that made them appear differently, or not at all, depending on circumstances like day, mood, and words spoken.

Notes:

Done for the Worldbuilding Exchange 2018, for Lunarium and heavily inspired by their works featuring Gereth

This is beautiful! Your intricate details always get me. I absolutely love her tattoo, the way it shines as well as the pattern itself. And I love your idea of how Elvish tattoos are adaptive.

Beautiful!
