Well, 'The Mark of the Half - Blood Tattoo Artist' is another fanfic worth checking out. It's a bit longer and more detailed. The story follows a tattoo artist who discovers they have a special ability to create tattoos that can actually give powers to the demigods. It's full of action, adventure, and of course, the cool concept of magical tattoos.
In many Percy Jackson tattoo artist fanfics, one creative idea is tattoos that change based on the demigod's emotions or powers. For example, a tattoo of a lightning bolt for a son of Zeus might glow brighter when they're using their powers.
One interesting aspect is how he can incorporate his demigod experiences. For example, he could tattoo the symbol of his camp on someone's arm. Another aspect is the clientele he might have. Demigods and gods themselves could be his customers, which would lead to some really unique interactions.
In these fanfictions, the tattoo artists often have a sense of awe when interacting with the demigod characters. They might be a bit nervous at first, especially when dealing with a powerful demigod like Percy. The tattoo artists usually listen carefully to the demigods' requests, which are often related to their heroic deeds or their family heritage. For example, an artist might be asked by Percy to create a tattoo that commemorates his first victory over a monster.
There's a fanfic titled 'Percy Jackson: The Tattooed Demigod'. In it, Percy discovers his talent for tattoo art while trying to blend in with the mortal world. He starts creating tattoos that seem to have a magical quality to them, like they glow softly when in the presence of other demigods. It's a really interesting take on his character.
One popular theme is the use of Greek mythology elements in the tattoos. Since Percy Jackson is all about Greek mythology, the tattoo artist might create tattoos of the gods, like Zeus's lightning bolt or Poseidon's trident. Another theme could be the demigod symbols. For example, the Camp Half - Blood bead necklaces as tattoos. Also, the adventures of Percy and his friends could be depicted in tattoos, such as their battles against monsters like the Minotaur.
The trident tattoo could be described as a vivid blue, like the deepest part of the ocean. It has three prongs that seem to shimmer with an otherworldly light, as if they were made of pure sea - essence. There are tiny waves etched around it, as if the tattoo is a miniature ocean scene on Percy's skin.

In a 'Percy Jackson tattoo fanfic', you could explore the idea of a tattoo artist who is actually a minor god or goddess. The story could follow Percy or another character as they go to get a tattoo from this divine artist. The tattoo could have powers that are both a blessing and a curse, like it gives the wearer enhanced strength but also attracts more monsters. And the process of getting the tattoo could be filled with mythological elements, like the ink being made from the essence of a magical creature.
It could be a symbol of identity. In the fanfic, characters with the SPQR tattoo might be part of a select group. For example, demigods with a strong connection to Roman heritage.
