Topic: [APPROVED] Tag implication: mastectomy_scar_tattoo -> tattoo

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag implication #67837 mastectomy_scar_tattoo -> tattoo has been approved.

Reason: A mastectomy_scar_tattoo is a tattoo to replicate the appearance of a mastectomy_scar. Usually, it is used in reference with "top surgery" for trans characters / characters who may or may not have received surgery on their chest area.

I'm pretty sure I did this in the right order, but if not I'll just reject and try and again lol.

EDIT: The tag implication mastectomy_scar_tattoo -> tattoo (forum #454404) has been approved by @spe.

Thumbs up for the implication, but I think the definition is incorrect. First- the difference between tattoos to replicate scars and scars is very hard, and impossible in many styles, to tag under twys. Second- most people using this term will be referring to tattoos that cover or decorate the scars, usually incorporating the lines/shapes of the scars into the design.

For 1) that was my concern too. i was personally for invalidating the tag due to the TWYS concern, but i was led to believe that, similar to different piercing types or tattoo locations, this specification here would be good as well.

2) i do think this is the proper way to go for the tag. when the tag grows more established, the distinction about how this is different than just chest tattoos would be better explained through the wiki with examples imo.

create implication mastectomy_scar_tattoo (12) -> chest_tattoo (4151)
remove implication mastectomy_scar_tattoo (12) -> tattoo (70743)

Reason: I did just approve this, but it occurred to me that chest_tattoo would probably be a better implication, no? Am I missing anything here?

imo no because mastectomy_scars can exist on feral characters too, which have nipples all down the belly if there were hypothetically ferals who have mastectomy scar tattoos.

since mastectomy_scar_tattoo is still a very new tag that's being added onto posts, it's not unlikely that there already are instances of mastectomy_scar_tattoos on characters that extend past the chest area and onto the belly/ribcage, etc.

eta:: just realized that I see anthros with nipples all down their belly too; so this isn't exclusively a feral situation either.

I think another reason to say no is that some mastectomy scars could probably be argued that they are just below the chest... possibly
