Thread: Let's talk about: Tattoos
I agree that it's a bit more SG-1 than Star Warsey. That being taken into consideration, I'd have mixed feelings about it. In the context of the show in question, however, not just any Jaffa has the gold embossed ritual scarring. Only the elit of the elit.
So it it were even considered, I'd like to see it only allowed for the Master Classes. Perhaps a sigal for a given master class, and if you drop the master of a given profession, you'd loose the right to that specific mark. On that note, it'd be a great way to "double title" Have "Master Chef" floating above your head, but wearing the the Master Tera Kasi Artist sigal on your forhead. Would say a lot and add to some RP value.

I like to rephrase this; I would like the Tattoo's color palette to include metallic colors, and have the option on tattoos to look flat or have shading to give them a 3D look.
I love tattoos! What a great feature if added. Anyway:
1. Most visible places: Arms and Head
2. Places I want them: Arms and Back
3. Designs: Henna on girls, Tribal lines on guys.
4. Colors: Single color tattoo, but any single color.
5. Size: From small area to enough to cover the body region it's on.
6. Reb/Imp tattoos: Only if the tattoos gave "magic" properties.
Thanks, Ebigo
A LIMITLESS galaxy full of a thousand alien races, all unique, totally new cultures from sheer imagination, any possibility imaginable. And yet people want the most MUNDANE, LAME load of crap from the TRENDIEST REAL LIFE FAD they can grasp. Could this be LESS immersive, LESS cool & LESS Star Wars-y? Nope. Give Zabraks body tattoos. Leave it off everyone else. Human is SW do NOT USE EARTH CULTURE FADS.
BORING & LAME. We might as well just automatically give all characters a tattoo on creation now because FAR from being "unique", these will be more standard than Composite armor has become. One more cookie cutter fad. LAME. Flush this whole idea & come up with something NEW, NOT based on real life follow-the-pack trendiness, & that actually fits in SW. If this tattoo garbage is done, we might as well start having The Real World t-shirts & Limp Bizkit music in game because we've left Star Wars behind & just started doing any old junk that sounds amusing. ROLEPLAY for once. Remember that time Leia got drunk & got a tattoo..oh wait NO. Humans don't have any such thing in Star Wars, just like they don't have football or use gasoline powered cars.
NEW UNIVERSE, NEW IDEAS.
Besides which, one of the special things that DEFINES & makes Zabraks unique is their TATTOOS. People remember them as "those guys that draw permananet patterns on themselves" & it's such a unique custom & so extreme in SW that people DEFINE the for it. But oh, wait, EVERYONE does it anyway now.....WORTHLESS. If this garbage goes in, humans MUST be allowed to have colored skin & lekku. And why not horns too?
