User blog:Martialmaniac/Hisoka's tattoo

Guys, I am seriously on the verge of tears as I write this, but I'll try to be composed. Ok, so:

Recently, a question that has been on my mind since the first time I saw the anime, has acquired new strength and is marching on Gondor pressing again. Why the hell did Hisoka use Texture Surprise to pretend to have a spider tattoo instead of actually making one? He could have been caught, and he risked never getting the chance of fighting Chrollo. I don't believe he had predicted that someone would have forbidden Chrollo from interacting with troupe members.

I can think only of a few reasons. First, Hisoka is a thrill junkie. The possibility of being discovered and possibly being appointed as an enemy of the Troupe, must have excited him to no end, especially because he could have gotten killed. Second, but less likely or important, he did it as some kind of personal joke, giggling to himself at his breach of one of the few rules of the troupe. Third, Hisoka rejects ties, perhaps he even despises them. A person who does not care about the past is one that does not care about bonds. He was not willing to submit to a social convention, especially one that implies commitment for life. In this light, perhaps the prospect of Chrollo slipping through his fingers excited him just as much as it scared him. What do you think?
