Roy Harper & Piercings

There’s not enough Roy love or ideas out there. I just finished reading the Arsenal special (1996) and he’s just been catching strays :(

I think that if comic book writers and artists could expand more on a previous character's appearance, there would be more tattoos and piercings involved. However, that’s not really the case.

Here’s my personal headcanon on what types of piercings Roy would have since he got tattoos already.

Nose: I think he’d have a simple nostril piercing, but the jewel would be a small star because Lian picked it out for him. It’s silver with even smaller gems covering the shape.

Mouth: I feel like an ashley, snake bite and tongue piercing would match his charm. The ashley piercing would be small, round with a blueish black tint so it stands out from his complexion. The snake bit would be similar in design but thinner and have more of a shine. I don’t think he’d wear them all the time considering his job so he’d have those clear plastic ones. The tongue piercing would be a bright blue, one that’s almost cyan. It easily catches anyone’s eyes and can derail a conversation.

Ears: A simple lobe, upper lobe and industrial would be his go two. It would mirror both sides. The upper lobe was done when Lian was getting her ears pierced and they did them together so she wouldn’t feel so alone. The industrial is there because he found a cool angel wing design and couldn’t help himself.

These are just little think pieces I had about him because he was in a band so I thought that was cool too.
