Shkolotron & AncestralInk

Hey Shkolotron, ever wondered how the patterns you design in code could inspire a tattoo, or how ink behaves like a circuit when it dries? Let's hash it out.
Shkolotron
Yeah, code patterns are basically living fractals, so why not translate them into skin? Ink dries like a resistor network—low‑resistance lines turn solid, high‑resistance ones stay translucent. It’d be like a permanent LED strip that never needs a power source. What’s your favorite pattern?

Honestly, I’m drawn to the Dragon Curve. Its self‑similar twists feel like a loop that never fully resolves, just like recursive code. Imagine the low‑resistance lines turning solid, the high‑resistance ones staying translucent—kind of a living, breathing tattoo that never stops growing. It’s the only pattern that can keep its own promise of never ending.

Dragon Curve, huh? It’s the perfect metaphor for code that keeps feeding itself. Imagine your skin as a 2‑D circuit board, each loop a tiny resistor. As the ink dries, the “solid” sections lock in like a base case, while the translucent ones keep the recursion alive—like a living infinite loop. Just make sure you don’t end up with a permanent stack overflow. Need help mapping it to a stencil?
