I don't draw him enough

your hc of neloth’s piercings + views on tattoos/war paint?

curious on where the line is with him when it comes to beauty/adornment/appearance

Taking this as an opportunity to draw Neloth's jewelry.

I think as a Telvanni Neloth would naturally be drawn towards self-adornment. Their idea of status and power relied on a lot on displaying personal wealth, and I think that translates into dressing pretty elaborately and wearing lots of jewelry. (I know we only have polygons to go by in Morrowind, but even Neloth has the gaudiest robes I ever seen and an earful of earrings in that game).

As far as tattoos, I can't imagine he has much of an opinion. I don't see him having any himself. I do headcanon them to be pretty common in Morrowind, especially in formal organizations like the Morag tong, but then also in more lawless gangs like the Camonna Tong. (Two very different kinds of tattoo cultures).

In my fic, at least, Neloth only ever really comments on Teldryn's tattoos to try to get a rise out of him. I don't think he finds them attractive or unattractive. Just part of who Teldryn is.

As for war paint, I can hear him in the back of my head making snide comments about smearing one's self with mud making absolutely no difference in battle.
