Incomplete list of Celegorm’s tattoos (monochrome)

The emblem of Orome as a tramp stamp. Got it immediately after being joining the Hunt
The Star of Feanor, taking up the entire space between his navel and his pecs. Got it when Feanor was exiled to Formenos
“No Regerts” in Quenya ("ala oio nattirë" misspelled) just below his collarbones. Got it as soon as he could find someone to tattoo him after Mandos pronounced the Doom.
“Bold of you to assume I’ve reached my peak dumbass” in Taliska across his shoulder blades. Got it before he learned Taliska. The Man who tattooed him said it referred to the way he surprises his enemies in battle.
“Death we will deal him ere day’s ending” in Taliska on right bicep. Got it from the same tattooist as the previous one, after spending six months learning Taliska. Celegorm did not break eye contact the entire time he was being tattooed.
Huan’s footprint on his right shoulder. Got it when he saw that Fingon had Maedhros’ name tattooed on his thigh (high enough that no one would see unless they were staring in the baths).
A penis on his left ankle. Got after a lost bet with a fellow hunter in Valinor. The loser had to “get a dick tattoo.”
His first boyfriend’s name on his left butt cheek, the words “is incredibly boring” added underneath after they broke up.
Tribal sleeve on his left arm - I am unsure if it actually has meaning or just looks cool. Got it in Valinor, probably while drunk.

Incomplete list of tattoos after he’s reborn:

#YOLO across his pecs.
Star of Feanor on each shoulder
Bow and arrow tramp stamp that is just different enough from Orome’s symbol
A raised spear holding up a necklace with a shining gemstone taking up his entire back
Huan howling on his left calf, with “466″ written beneath it
Every single scar he got in his first life, in silver that matches his hair and glitters like a Silmaril in moonlight
- This isn’t out of guilt - the scars were his, proof of every fight he won, and Namo took them away

Headcanon that Caranthir is actually a woman.

Caranthir is described as angry and quarrelsome. However, she is shown to establish good trade relationships with a wide variety of people. Can you say gendered double standards for behavior?
Caranthir the dark, with her cousins Aredhel the White Lady of the Noldor, and the radiant Artanis.
“The seven sons of Feanor” came about due to a translation issue. From Sindarin to Taliska to Haladin, there’s room for a gender neutral plural to become masculine (think of Spanish “hijos”).
When Haleth is rescued by Caranthir, she greets the elf as “Lord Caranthir.” Haleth expects elven features to be delicate and beautiful, and a suit of plate armor makes distinguishing body types impossible.
- Caranthir: “Lady.”
- Haleth: “Yes, I suppose I am the Lady of my house since my father and brother died last week.”
- Caranthir: “Sorry to hear that but I actually meant I’m female.”
Haleth and Caranthir might enter into a romantic relationship, but since they can’t have children, it never makes it into history books.
