You are fine! Yes! Those are tattoos. It would be what would be called a Sleeve. Lots of sleeve tattoos are completely black but others will be heavily detailed drawings going all down the arm.
I was an apprentice for a year
yes they're a style of tattoo called blackout tattoos!
Well, it is possible! Pain is different from person to person, but all tattoos hurt to some degree. Just depends on how well the person handles it.
Google "blackout tattoos" and they are similar to what Guwon has.
Some artists specializes in that style, while others prefer to avoid it :p It must be difficult to get it equally black and avoid discoloration
I straight away googled it. I have seen the type of details drawings on the arms but this is my first time seeing all black like this. I didn’t know it’s possible. Freaking cool!
Thank you!
Blackout tattoos are definitely a thing, very painful as you can imagine how many times the skin has to be punctured with a needle for it to completely back out the skin (the process would take hours) It also has some health risks irl, not being able to see rashes and such on the skin could cause problems or delays in treatment etc
This being said, I am not sure whether those are really tattoos or some other supernatural stuff on Guwon :p Maybe it will be explained at some point
As a tattooist I can answer that: yes, it's possible, it's called blackout tattoo and yes, it's VERY painful since the needle used is the most painful one, mostly on the hands. But to be honest I don't think that's tattoo, I would guess he's actually kinda dead? Like half zombie, that's why he has no memories of his past life, doesn't know basic knowledge, is cold as dead and has this appearance (white eyes, "rotten" arms, stitches on the neck etc)
Totally gets it why it’s named like that. Thank you for letting me know. I’m gonna continue google about it. Now I’m intrigued (▰˘◡˘▰)
Whoops... So many explanations ahah
I can’t imagine the pain! The small ones already looked painful to me. Much respect to the ones that able to endure the pain. I guess it could take hours or days to get it all done right ┗( T﹏T )┛
Oh, when I wrote this there were no answers yet, sorry to be repetitive
Nooo it’s okay. This is a learning process for me. I don’t mind it hahahaha
Ahhh he’s falling in love ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Btw, I’m curious.. So the dark parts on Guwon’s arms from his shoulder to his finger tips are tattoo? Is it possible to have a tattoo like that? Isn’t it painful? I’m sorry if these are stupid questions. I’m not well versed about tattoos.
