are there tags for these?

I couldn't think of a better name for the topic.

There are some concepts I find that I don't know the word for, or even if danbooru has words for these concepts. Here are a couple.

Multi-colored hair? Example: post #359555
Chest blush/flush? Example: post #359540

I could make a new tag for it, like I did on post #326127 ('ass_ache'), but if I could do that over again, I would've made this thread first... which is why I bring it up here, too.

These are all concepts that I haven't found a tag for, but that I like to see every now and again.

re:hair, I think the multicolored_hair tag is more for images like this: post #327159, post #330378

That looks more like gradient_hair.

First is what I call "gradiant hair", I dunno if we use it as a tag.

Second isn't something I'd bother tagging, personally.

That's unfortunate; I think art where the girl has that kind of blush can be really amazing. Would there be anything wrong with me giving such images a tag like that even if it ends up being the same case as ass_ache where nobody else will add anything to it?

Thanks on letting me know about the gradient_hair tag, I'll apply it when I come across it from now on.

The first time I thought "ooh, gradient hair, cool" was watching Manabi Straight. Which is why it is odd that there is no intersection. Admittedly it isn't as blatant as later* two-tone stuff like Potemayo.

• in terms of the anime, I've no idea about the source material.

I'm gonna go for it, using chest_blush

But the same blush style on all parts of the body from some artists. What's special about boob blush?

I hadn't noticed redness on other parts of her body until you said that.

I always took just 'blush' to mean blushing of the cheeks on the face. A regular blush can be out of embarrassment or anger.

Flushing of the chest, however, along with other areas, can be a sign of arousal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubor

There's nothing absolutely special to me choosing to specify flushing of the chest above any other area, other than me personally liking images that have that kind of flush. We could easily make tags for other areas where it occurs, or alter the tag to something like 'sexual_blush'.

What IS it with that sort of "blush" anyway? I especially notice it on the Familiar of Zero pics, and it looks more like some kind of physical damage recovery or unhealthy "spotchiness" than anything alluring. I'd support a tag for such distinct patches.

It's generally just due to it being a particular artist's style. You see it at most joints with such artists (knees, elbows, shoulders, etc). It can be really hit or miss.

I found this chest_blush tag irrelevant. However, it's also true what jxh2154 said.
I suggest blush_(style) to refer not only chest_blush but also joints_blush and such.

I admit it could simply be a style choice, but there are points where it can mean more.

You linked to a wikipedia article called rubor. Why not use rubor?

There's three parts to that to address. It strangely had me go to rubor, but then the actual page says it redirected me FROM rubor while the article calls it "flushing (physiology)".

The second part is that using rubor would be unnecessarily complex. That's sort of like using 'mammaries' to refer to breasts. It's not intuitive.

The last is that 'rubor' stands for swelling or redness in general. It doesn't give any clue to what kind of redness it is.

I don't really care for this tag personally, but I did notice the article you linked to stating that this is "commonly referred to as the sex flush". And I thought... why not just use that?

Yeah, that could be done. I said earlier we could alter it to something like sexual_flush.

There was a recent image I tagged with chest_blush mostly because I hadn't gotten around to altering the chest_blush tag to something else, and I figured that further down the line, that tag could be replaced with a better one.

However, I was casually looking at different images I uploaded today and saw that the two with that tag show no sign of it, even in the tag history. I also searched for it in the aliases and don't see it in there either.

So what happened to it?

I think tags with zero uses are automatically removed from the database, although I believe it takes a day or so for that to happen. I haven't checked, but I'd guess when this happens they're also removed from the tag histories.

Someone probably just removed the tag because it only had 1-2 uses, so they thought it was pointless. I don't think the tag is that bad, as long as you can find more than a handful of pics to apply it to.

And while I'm in this thread, I may as well ask: is there a tag for windswept hair, as in post #384166? There's wind, but that also applies to clothes and it implies being outdoors.

When you say "chest_blush" would you mean stuff like post #375860?

I would personally call it flowing_hair, but there's no such tag in existence right now.

I hate this, so I submitted a bug report a while back: http://trac.donmai.us/ticket/459

(The dumb summary is mine, but so are the reasonable comments.)
