Fascinating. I love it.

I've always loved this entry.

I think this could use a bit of editing, mainly because it claims that we don't know anything about possible intelligence or sentience in two-dimensional beings, which seems to be in direct opposition to SCP-085.

Each SCP is to be taken on its own.

Also keep in mind that in-universe, we don't know when this SCP was catalogued or last updated. It could have been decades ago. Or the research team might not have clearance to know about SCP-085. Of course, either way, there is no canon.

Assuming that this SCP does not change it's appearance and that it was created by a human, the artistic style and ink colors used would give an estimate of it's origin date. I am no expert on tattoos, but the one in the photo seems more modern than the earliest days of the Foundation. Which brings up a question I have. When was the Foundation founded? I have seen references to SCPs being first noted in 18XX.

There's no canon, so whatever time period works for you. Most ping it around the turn of the century, or perhaps during WW2.

Heh, up-voted if only for the creepy subtext in 'Transfer is more complicated in deceased subjects'

I like the terrible choice present for a D-class host: You get to avoid monthly termination, but you're locked up with an excruciatingly painful tattoo.

Very nice, unique entry. The only problem I have is why must tattoos for the purposes of feeding be applied quickly?

jbolt091 17 May 2012 14:34

Possibly because 021 might attempt to eat it before it is finished. Which might be a problem or it might not. Maybe if the food isn't finished, lines that have not been completed (gone in a full circle. Think of a half-completed apple or orange. It would form a sort of semi-circle which would have two ends of the line) are "sharp" in a 2-D world and would pierce 021, potentially seriously wounding and/or killing it.

I love this one. Very unique idea and writing style. Up-voted.

What if SCP-021 were transferred to a host without a pain sensation? If the host feels no pain then there won't be an issue right?

En Anderson 17 Dec 2012 19:52

I really like this one. The only issue I have is the line that the hosts death doesn't seem to affect that organism. If the tattoo feeds on melanin, wouldn't it run out pretty quick when the host dies? I know it could be transferred from dead to living, but I'd think the death of the host would eventually starve the tattoo.
