After much hard work, i have finally reached Master Image Designer! So now i want to set up a shop and start a real beauty clinic, but first i have some questions! HOW does one roleplay some of the ID situations? For example, if i change a Zabrak's HAIR, i often have to change their bones too. I'm talking about changing a genetic feature! Something they've probably had from birth and i'm doing it right there on the street? I am going to make my shop into two parts: hairstyles and makeup type changes, and then surgical changes . . . but sometimes the line is so thin, i'm not sure which goes where. I was also going to price my changes according to those two sections, but can i really tell a Zarbak that hairstyle cost more for them then a human because they have horns which i have to surgically remove inorder to work on their hair? *L* I feel so silly sometimes, but i live in a roleplay city and i wish to keep my profession to those standards. Could you guys help me out? What do i do?

Certain issues:
* eye color change - are they colored contacts?
* tattoo colors - is it surgical or a form of light-surgery?
* different body changes - weight/muscle changes verses genetic-changes such as height?
* lips - serious surgery or some sort of injection?
* skin colors - is it just dying? Or what about lekku patterns?
* anything else you can think of?

OOo how fun, I would defintely do a varying price list, esp if you're in a strong roleplaying town I've often thought about sitting down tof igure out how to explain all the procedures but have never taken the time I say colored contacts for eyes, a violent wooden rack for height, implants for fatty enlargements (torso, lips, weight), tanning booth for darker skin color...

Good Fun idea, I have been RPing onlystuff like; my fee is aImperial luxury tax and how I asked them what they want done.

How about for all color stuff:


I like my skin color changed to light green

biwan: You're in luck I just got a new pigment injector, it is a PI-4000k.

biwan: It has a eye color attachment and Free upgrades for an year.

Free upgrades?

biwan: I'm very excited about that, next month they are coming out with lots of new colors

Eye color: there was a thing that changed eye color i forget what it called something iris ill look it up later.

Tatoos-In RP i say shame to a zabrak who changes his tatoos...
Well it ould be like RL do it with...um....how to tatoo parlors tatoo you?

Body changes-Um growth drugs maybe?As for horns i'd say that its some kind of injection that causes the horns to re-arrange themselves and such.

lips-collagen injection like real-life

Skin-Uhh dye?Lekku patterns i have no clue......

To answer the question abuot RL Tat parlours... the do a "cover up" in where they take the exsisting design and completely go over it with dark colours (or straight black) or they modify it and morph it into something different. Now I've never had any of my tats changed so I can't speak personally. I've only had them touched up (colours like white only last about 2 years) which one tat artist told me, is a simpler version of a cover up. Hope that helps

Teeth are bone right? ::giggles insanely at the idea of Zabrak horn 'braces' to move the horns around.::


It could always be a surgical issue of removing the bone, then removing skin from new spot, grafting the bone (which is doable even today) then graft the skin where the horn originally was... very bloody hehe.


For Tekoa, my Twi'lek I say that anything dealing with her Lekku are dyes. She wouldn't do something permanent. (Like me not wanting a real piercing in my ear's cartlage, but wearing ear cuffs that look like I did...)

omg, I like the idea of setting up shop with all sorts of fun "image design" labeled items around...

stim packs renamed as collagen injections...

hmmm....

what would make a good implant

I guess you could get a chef to rename some sort of bread.... o_O

oooh more idea's for my own image design salon !

i wish i wasnt so busy usually or id roleplay a lot more, something ive been trying to get back into for a while now


as for eye colour, /emote hands client a small box of contactsand sterilising set, 'make sure you put them in the sterlising fluid while you go to bed, and never wash them with tap water'


for Tan, perhaps 'take thisinjection it is a DNA formula to geneticly alter your skin tone' (asking someone to step into a tanning bed in a cantina just isnt very realistic, tan bed would work in my salon tho)


however weight and height while caught in the streets... i dunno how to roleplay those
