Tribe

Inked & pierced

Tattoos, piercings, mods, and the people who like them. A body that already tells a story.

Tribes are new: the first people to add this get found first by everyone who joins after.

Tattoos has eighty thousand members on FetLife, and the overlap is old: tattoo, piercing and body-modification culture and the kink scene grew up in the same back rooms and share a comfort with bodies, sensation and doing something permanent on purpose.

On a card it's a social tag first: it says something about how you see your body and the people you're drawn to. For some it's also a sensation thing (the tattoo chair is not so far from impact play) or an aesthetic one.

Overlap people mention: needle play and temporary piercing (an advanced, taught skill; see medical play), a taste for leather and latex, and the simple fact that a tattooed person at a munch is a conversation starter.

Put it on your card

Join free, say who you are and what you're looking for, and the people who share this find you in one tap. No real names, nothing explicit.
