general appearance
Skiff considers his body to be his canvas and he has spent nearly a decade in adorning it with works of art. Up and down both arms are covered in black and white tattoos and the majority of his legs, chest, and back are covered as well. The only place that's managed to stay safe from the tattoo gun has been his face, though if he ran out of room elsewhere he may very well go there next. Skiff is an even 6'0" tall and slim. Aside from the ink there is really nothing intimidating about him. He has a very soft, baby like face, that almost always has a smile on it. He's a very chipper fellow and when he smiles it shines through his whole face. His hazel eyes tend to be more brown than green but when he's focused they can go nearly completely green. Many of his regular clients aren't even aware he's got brown in his eyes though they've spent hours upon hours with him. His hairstyle changes frequently but it can almost always be found shorter on the sides and longer at the top. Skiff currently has the top portion of his light brown hair dyed a very pale blond. The tattoos and hairstyle aren't the only ever changing thing about Skiff; he has a multitude of piercings that he switches out and wears when the whim takes him. All together he has both nipples, both ears, his nose, right eyebrow, and the left side of his lip pierced though he rarely wears them all at once.

character history
Elliot is the first child born into what many will deem as a chaotic household. He was one of four children, of four different combinations coming from four separate parents. When he was conceived it was just his father David and mother Aubrey who were together. They had married and had children, following some invisible timeline the world seemed to have set out for them and neither of them could fully admit to themselves or one another that they were gay. The two long term friends had simply thought that if they were going to be stuck with someone...why not each other? Shortly after Elliot's birth they found themselves very lonely and unhappy within their relationship. The two confessed to one another a secret they had been keeping for quite some time but both were relieved to hear that the other shared the same feelings. Not wanting to dismantle their young son's family they decided it was best to stay together....as friends. Not before too long did Aubrey meet someone, a woman named Valentina, and she found herself totally in love. They thought it best to stick together and simply bring Valentina into their little family. After all, their house could hold a few more heads. David too found love with a man named Barhane and he came to live with them as well before. The separate couples married and together they formed a giant home filled with love and laughter of their son Elliot.
Soon enough the family found themselves wanting for more children. Aubrey and Valentina were first to speak up, asking David if they would sire another child for them since alone the two women couldn't conceive. David agreed under the pretense that, in return, he and Barhane could have a child as well. Using Aubrey as their surrogate both women conceived and were pregnant at the same time all the while Elliot grew into the early stages of toddler-hood. Before long the family had grown by two children and they were content for quite some time. The three children were growing and soon enough they all felt as though there was an...emptiness. They decided to have one more child, the final piece to their puzzle, and Berhane and Valentina had a child between the two of them.
In 2005 Elliot received his letter to Hogwarts and wasn't followed by his two middle siblings until his third year. He made a great deal of friends while at Hogwarts, especially within the Hufflepuff house to which he was sorted. With having such an odd family dynamic Elliot was always extremely tolerant of all people no matter their race, blood status, or sexual orientation. In his second year of schooling he decided to join the Queer and Questioning Club to share his family's story with those who were having questions about their sexuality and as the years progressed he found that the club was right for him all along. Aside from being in that club he was also in Art club. Elliot had always been interested in the arts and was very skilled at sketching and painting, something that isn't really exercised at Hogwarts. He managed well enough in his schooling despite a slight disinterest in what he was learning. The only subjects that interested him were charms and potions, if only for the simply fact that it could make his art even that much more interesting.
Elliot learned potions to add to inks to create moving sketches and charms that made drawings dance. In his fifth year he jokingly began putting dancing lady "tattoos" on classmates arms and found that he rather enjoyed it. He was always artistic and the process of sitting down and placing art on a canvas such as a body was extremely exhilarating for him. His parents were always very supportive of his wishes and dreams and for his 16th birthday preset they allowed him to get his first tattoo. Not just any tattoo either, but a magical tattoo from Markus Scarrs tattoo parlor. It was most certainly the highlight of his sixth year to show it off and he knew in that moment that he needed to have more. He became the leader of the Art club his sixth and seventh years and his interest in drawing "tattoos" on people skyrocketed. Students came from all houses looking to get one of Skiff's Sketches and he knew he had found his calling.
After graduation Skiff went back to the shop where it all began and begged for an apprenticeship. He offered a portfolio of sketched and was taken on as a trainee just two months after his Hogwarts days had ended. For two years he worked diligently to hone his skills in the craft and after those two years were up he had improved enough to begin work as a regular tattoo artist within the shop. Since 2014 Skiff has been working as a tattoo artist at Markus Scarrs Indelible Tattoos and sometimes does freelance work on the side, but that is usually due to sketchier business ventures.

family history
(Hold on to your hats, this one's a little difficult.)
Aubrey Botsaris and David Skardiff had been friends as long as anyone could remember. They had done everything together: schooling, gone to balls together, graduated! Everyone assumed that they were together and in love but they.....didn't exactly feel anything for one another aside from friendship. Neither of them had ever had any sort of romantic relationship before but everyone seemed so adamant that they had to be in love. Pressure came on quickly after graduation to begin seeing an engagement ring in their future and the two seemed to shrug and agree. This was what they were supposed to do, right? Graduate, get married, have children? To silence the many pushers they were married not too long after graduation and quickly conceived their first and only child together, Elliot. Everyone seemed to think that they ought to be over the moon but the couple felt more trapped than anything. Neither of them were happy and began to distance themselves emotionally. Finally, after a long bout of soul searching, Aubrey discovered something about herself that she had never recognized before. She....liked women! Thinking back she had always found them more attractive but she had thought it entirely normal. After all David would comment on women to her all the time! She never disagreed with a beauty when she saw it. But now she was faced with a difficult move to make: she needed to tell David.
Much to her surprise the confession went better than expected. In fact, it went great! Aubrey had imagined a large fight and divorce but rather she found a sigh of relief from her partner. He, too, had been keeping a secret to himself. He liked men! Turns out he knew for quite some time, but his father was never the type to be accepting of such things. He had always kept his secret to himself but now it seemed there was no denying it, and really no need! The two divorced but that hardly meant they were split. The two remained living together for the sake of their son each taking up different rooms in the house. Their set up worked well with regards to maintaining their friendship and their family but before long they each found it rather lonely. Aubrey was the first to bring a partner home, a beautiful Latina named Valentina. The two had met at a same sex speed dating thing and really hit it off. Before anyone knew it all three of them were living together under one roof and all taking care of Elliot together! Not soon after that did David meet a man by the name of Barhane. It didn't take long for Barhane to move in with the others and their family had grown exponentially.
Valentina began yearning for a baby of her very own and she didn't think she could be happy without one. Aubrey was puzzled as to what they would do because she couldn't very well give her one herself! That was when she got the idea to ask David to assist them. With his donation they would each have a child by him and those children would be half siblings! It seemed to be the perfect plan. David agreed to help them with their donation but he asked for a favor in return: make Barhane's dreams of being a biological father come true. They agreed that it was fair enough since they all loved and lived with one another anyway. Barhane gave his donation to Aubrey and David gave his to Valentina. Within a few months of one another both women became pregnant and brought two more children into their beautifully chaotic life. For quite some time the couples were thrilled to have so many children to love and take care of, but once again someone was left wanting.
Aubrey and David each had two children, it seemed, and Barhane and Valentina each only had one of their own blood. They thought that having a fourth child would be the finishing piece to their puzzle, though everyone was on edge about the decision. Valentina had a rough pregnancy and deliver the time before with David's child and they were nervous for her to do it over again. She was determined, though, to see her wishes through and in 2002 she gave birth to Trisha, the last child to be welcomed into their amazing family. They now have a family of four children from four different combinations of parentage, and one big and happy home.
