Tattooing

Tattooing(Domestic) by Taalismn

Skill in impregnating living skin with ink to produce skin art. Tattooing has been around for a long time(the famous ‘Ice Man’ sported simple tattoos). The practitioner learns basic composition, proper selection of tools and inks, and procedure in preparing the skin and doing the tattoo. Also includes skill in slightly scarring the skin for aesthetic effect. A failed roll means the ink has blurred and bled, the tattoo quickly fades/is absorbed, or the skin has become infected and inflamed(25% chance on a failed roll).

Prerequisite: Art(Drawing)

Base Skill: 35% + 5% per level of experience. Taking this skill twice reflects a professional level of skill with the ability to draw in multi-layered compositions.

Note: A species-specific First Aid skill proficiency may also be required if tattooing non-humans/non-mammals to avoid possible allergic reactions from poor selection of tattooing inks.
