Art Feature: Tattoos -- Identity in Indelible Ink

Nov 22, 2023

This curated feature is brought to you by @AlexanderPaupoff. The word tattoo has its origins in the Polynesian tatau (or tatu), which means “to puncture or mark the skin.” Tattooing involves inscribing the skin by inserting dyes or pigments under the dermis to form patterns or designs. This ancient practice of body decoration has evolved into a significant form of self-expression. Tattoos are more than just ink on skin—they reflect a person’s identity, beliefs, and experiences. They visually chronicle a journey, represent values and aspirations, and capture victories and tributes, allowing us to use our skin to construct our identities in deeply personal and profound ways. Typically, there’s an idea of permanence attached to tattoos. However, much like people, they’re quite changeable. Throughout our lives, tattoos transform in appearance and intensity, the same way we do as we age. They might be voluntarily changed, extended, covered up, or removed, and when we die, they

A New Look for New Groups

Sep 27, 2023

Newly created groups have a new design to match DeviantArt’s current layout! NOTE: This is just the first preview of the new Groups design. You will run into a few bugs, but it was too exciting to keep it unlaunched any longer. Your patience is much appreciated, as is your feedback! Starting today, when you create a new group, it will have a layout that matches DeviantArt’s current design for Profiles and the rest of the site! Groups are a place for deviants to connect over shared interests, hobbies, and creations. Try out the new Groups design and create a shared space for what you’re passionate about! Please note that existing groups won’t be migrated to the new design until early next year, and more details about that will be shared closer to when the change will take place. An Overview of What’s New The new design for Groups is adaptable—you can view your group in dark, light, or green theme, and the group’s appearance will change to match your theme of choice.

Chapter 5: Night Of No Sleep

About 2 hours after the chase Silence is laying in his training hideaway bed not able to sleep after everything that happened with Lara, Hydro, and the Mysterious Leafeon: “Ugh...this is why I can never sleep and even if I do this happens...thanks Dream for ruining another future I could’ve had...” Silence says to himself in the pitch-black darkness of the hideaway his friend Iron helped him make; he ponders the idea of getting help, but he shakes it off saying to himself “I can’t rely on other all the time for the solving of my own problems....” Silence pushes himself back on to his feet and starts towards the exit of the hideaway to blow off more steam the best way he can: training and studying in the forest. “Блять это! пора снова тренироваться!” Silence makes his way out of the hideaway and iron tails a tree which starts falling from being cut in half and attracts the attention of Hydro the Vaporeon on a late-night patrol of the outer areas of the city after
