Dets, just to confirm- who among the dwarves have piercings? And where?

Hey Nonnie!

Well, these are just some ideas that I was throwing around, really – I’m a big fan of the whole piercings-denoting-meanings idea? It’s by no means definitive though 🙂 I just. I REALLY like the whole body-mod Dwarves thing.

Anyway, I’ve written this out before – but TL;DR: I think most Dwarves would have at least one piercing, but it would be usual to have more. They’d be visible symbols of mastery and status and achievement (such as the nose-jewel Gimris started wearing after she achieved her mastery in healing, or the lower lip-stud Baris wears as a Master-singer)

Uh, trying to think of more that I have confirmed. Gimli has heavy ear cuffs – like, a LOT of ear-cuffs – and barbells through his nipples.

Oh, and a tongue-stud is usually reserved for poets, diplomats and scribes – those who are skilled in the way of words 🙂

does… does this mean Gimli will be getting a tongue stud??? skilled with words is Gimli all over

heya lace! *slips you a link* heh

So Laerophen tells Gimizh some stories of Legolas being a silly little kid, figuring what’s the harm, the odds of them meeting are so slim…. as it happens, they all end up in the Mountain because Life Happens. Gimizh (bless his little mischief heart) asks Legolas if it’s true that he once wrapped up a baby bird in Kind Thranduil’s favorite robe, only for the bird to poop all over it … in front of the whole family. Legolas gave Laerophen such a stink-eye. Gloin laughed and laughed.

Brother, I will kill you.
