This is one of my first posts so it may be in the wrong place. If so, lemme know...or delete it, just do whatever you do, but, my apologies, if i've made a mistake.
OKAY
If Daken has a healing factor, how the hell does he sustain that crazy intricate tattoo?

I would think the ink would stay as they needle it in, but he would heal right after, so we doesnt have to be sore and red and apply gel or whatever to the tat like regular people do, but then again i know nothing about tatoos so i could be wrong

Well it depends on the kind of ink as well I would think. There are different types and all over the world different ways to tat a person. Some do it all by hand with a wooden needle and little die bucket. This take HOURS so I am guessing it is NOT done the old fashion way because Daken would heal faster than the artist could go.
I'm thinking, to keep up with this fast healing, Daken's tats were done by modern methods.
The Ink would have to be the closed to natural as they can get other wise Daken's body would reject it as a toxin and heal out of it. So I'm not sure the name, but I' am guessing a traditional ink made by hand from a plant of some type was used.
that's my guess

maybe he was inked as a kid by Romulas, before his healing factor manifested itself too

Okay, now you guys are making me curious about the story of Daken's tattoo. Seems to me Sabretooth had a tat on is bicep once ('round the time he was working with Mystique's Brotherhood I think about the time she hit Muir Island). Anyway it didn't last and it was never explained.
I think black inks originally had one of two bases: charcoal (or coal) or burnt bone. The first is bluish-black and the second is yellowish-black. If you've ever drawn on your skin with a black marker you'll notice either a blue or yellow tinge around the edges as it slowly washes off. I don't know which is preferable for tattoos (or if it matters). The point is that maybe if it's just inert carbon deposited in his skin his body doesn't know to reject it. Or maybe it only "heals" away slowly and Daken has to get re-tattooed every week. And when he's low on cash he just kills the artist when he's done. Maybe he does it himself.
Or it could be "special" ink Daken used.
But even so I would think that if the skin on his arm were burned or removed the tattoo wouldn't grow back, and Daken would have to get inked again. That could explain Sabretooth too.
Or it could be really "special" ink Daken used. The "M" tattoo or (sometimes drawn as a keloid scar) brand mutants wore over their eye in Bishop's time supposedly couldn't be removed or disgiused and mutant powers had no effect on it.

That's a thought Mark, but that would mean before the age of 14 which is really young, the tats would distort and fad with time tho his skin would remain in tip top condition, the tattoos would not, as the inks are not alive. Daken is around 60 years old, at this age tats intense color fades even the blacks and in normal humans. They start to deform due to gravity and loss of muscle. or gaining of weight. In Dankin case, if he was tattooed as a child it would have been the old fashion traditional way, and as he grew they would become stretched and faded as well. My guess is he picked this look himself to match how he felt. It's like his hair, it's a statement that says who he is and how he feels. he's a warrior at heart like Logan but not on the right side or for a good cause. that's what I'm guessing happened.

I think that would be the only way to explain why in a baddle if he is burned and such the tats would not be effected. other wise if he is like Logan and can be burned to nothing and regrow everything then he would have to be re tattoed as well.

Interesting...I never thought it could be attributed to the type of ink. It really doesn't have to make sense though. The Marvel universe has it's own reality...a very dynamic reality.

the only way he could have them ever re grow, is if they were somehow part of his DNA, then they wounld'nt be tattoos, but markings, like animals have on their skin and in their fur.

Why do you ask?  Seriously, there have been several scenes written that seem to indicate Daken at least wants others to believe he's bisexal (possibly as a means of manipulating them or putting them off guard), but at this point it's still not clear what his real feelings are about a lot of things. We've seen him flirt with men and sleep with women. The fact that we haven't seen him in bed with a man yet doesn't "prove" he's exclusively heterosexual. What is clear is that Daken uses people to get what he wants and he feels no empathy for those he uses. He's probably not "above" having sex with anyone (or lying to them, or killing them) - man or woman- to get what he really wants (whatever that happens to be at any moment). He also has pheromone powers (kind'a like Stacy X had) that he uses to manipulate people's emotions. Kind'a makes me wonder if he could make a heterosexual man become sexually attracted to him - just to mess with his head? I sometimes think Daken was created exclusively to fill some niche in somebody's Wolverine fan fiction "slash" story. |

LMAO YEP bet that's true, tho some of those stories can be well written. other wise it's just trash most of the time. I agree Daken may not be Bi at heart, but he isn't above doing what he needs to and wants to to get his way and get people to do as he wants... And i KNOW he got that from Romulus. I'd go so far as to say Romulus is the SAME way. As long as he has lived. In the Greek times Women were looked at as baby makers only and Men were the sex objects, it was like that for a long while. seem only the nature of the beast if you will, that Bi or not, sex is just an animal need for those two, it means nothering personal to tehm like it would mean to Logan is my gues. |
