I knew a music teacher that only owned black underwear, on the in theory that if her underwear showed during a student's recital it wouldn't be obvious. (Her recital uniform was all black.)

Are your a music teacher?

No, but I also only wear black xD

Oh this is simple, you're a goth. Your music taste can now only be Depeche Mode, The Cure, HIM, & London after midnight. Please see Thagasaur on your way out for your obligatory palmette tattoo.

I looked up palmette and saw a feature of art deco buildings that I haven’t really seen in tattoos, then looked up “palmette” tattoo and even with the quotes, it was all saw palmettos. What’s a palmette tattoo look like?

Literally the first image that came up when I searched "palmette tattoo".

You sure you were spelling it correctly?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That’s the architectural feature that came up, so I probably spelled it correctly, but it was the same as how I spelled it in the comment.

I have never seen that kind of tattoo before and many of my friends would probably be considered goth (but we’re olds and I’m not observant). Does it reference something?

I usually see it on the top of the hand, and I'm old too. Wonder if it's regional. I've seen it mainly in the southern US

Ah, maybe. I’m from New England and live in Germany.
