The cool part about tattoos is that most of them can easily be moved around to other parts of the body. So the little birds can be moved to the face, forehead, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, hands, ect.

Or would that be overkill? xD

We also don't have a lot of choices in eyebrows as well.

It was really hard to search for a reference without running into pictures of that disgustingly pretty white guy from Glee. His hair is a goddamn travesty.

What kinds of non-white hairstyles are we talking about here? I'm searching for more ethnic hair, but all I'm running into is straight hair in varying styles and colors.

Ah, gotcha! I was just looking through the shops and realized that all of the curly hair looks like the manufactured kind.

We should totally make big Merida hair too!

The only kind of hair in the real world that can be called "ethnic" is tight, small curls (though the actual hairdo can be very very short on one extreme to a full afro on the other extreme), because that's created by the oval cross-section of African hair compared to the round cross-section of European and Asian hair. Everything else is the result of technique or product.

That said, cornrows, fine braids, and dreadlocks are often considered "ethnic" due to being convenient if you HAVE said oval cross-section hair. (Cornrows and fine braids because they keep those curls under control, dreadlocks because that kind of hair will assume them without a whole lot of maintenance -- dreadlocks in round cross-section hair are as hard to maintain as any other hairstyle.)

Those small, tight curls also result in hair with small but dramatic waves (which require a heated crimper to accomplish in round cross-section hair) when long and brushed out, and short-to-medium size afros with more well-defined curls instead of the stereotypical combed-out frizzy poof are popular among women.

EDIT: And while I was typing this post, pictures showed up. :P

EDIT 2: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...1c7eb7e4d3.jpg is a more feminine version of the last style Illusion posted, and what I was talking about with "short-to-medium afro with well-defined curls".

Disney's upcoming movie Moana is a good example for both tattoos, hair, noses, eyebrows, and mouths/cheeks xD

Possible but it'd be... rather hard to find clothes for. :P That said, there was a fad for a while that imitated a pregnant belly with clever clothing outlining. Not Buddha-like, though.

actually there are indo-ethnic hairs too that are kinked or curled and while it is considered 'white' hair irish hair is also ethnic and it comes in both curls and kind(i have some irish in me and am a throwback, i had tight chinked curls that corkscrewed when allowed to dry naturally after a vigorous brushing. ethnic is not black-exclusive. that is a misnomer. ethnic is non-gentrified natural features that have a distinct location/birthright attached such as swedish blonde hair and indian chins


of course contextually i personally using ethnic to mean 'non-anime white person' an omission of tiny noses and obtuse oval eyes and thin lips/ half-mouths

Coda knows a lot about a lot of things. XD I am a font of knowledge, gathered from lots of reading and chatting with lots of people.

Most of what I know with regards to ethnic hair derives from a conversation I overheard complaining about a white girl with dreadlocks. If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with that, but there's a vocal population of people who overlook the fact that if you live in America your entire society is imported from other cultures and so say that it's wrong to do things that "belong" to other cultures.

No, I'm not bitter about artificially-segregated social roles at all. Not a bit. Nope.

EDIT: Choco raises a good point, that gene is also present in Irish hair, although I'm not wrong in saying that it's still caused by the same effect and that it originated in Africa. :P My point was going the other direction -- what people call "ethnic" hair has that nature.

ACTUALLY -uses nasal tone- it is a genetic quirk and heralds back(in part) to neanderthals. that hair type is super old and a combination of two distinct species of hominid X'D gaelic genetics were interesting to me since i was a huge fan of ancient greece and everyone knows about the illiad's issues X''D
