Coming Soon: New Skill and Subguild "Tattoo Artist"

[Halaster]

On the next release we are adding a new skill Tattooing and the subguild Tattoo Artist to go with it.


A Tattoo Artist, which will require 2 karma, will be able to apply custom tattoos to themselves and others.  Using a tattoo needle and ink, they will be adorn the skins of all Zalanthans with their works of art.  The only way to get the tattooing skill is with the Tattoo Artist subguild.

The subguild and its skills can be found here:  https://www.armageddon.org/help/view/Tattoo%20Artist

A breakdown of how to create tattoos and apply them can be found here:  https://www.armageddon.org/help/view/Tattooing

Like the drawing skill, a tattoo will have a quality associated with it.  When you look at someone's tattoo, you'll be able to see that quality (if a tattoo doesn't display a quality, it means it was created before this system or by an NPC).  And like drawing, we will ask players to use their judgement as to what is appropriate for their skill level.  You can find some help here on the topic:  https://www.armageddon.org/help/view/Custom%20Tattoo%20Examples


Here's what the process looks like:

>
draw needle sdesc a fuzzy bunny tattoo
You set 'a fuzzy bunny tattoo' as the sdesc on a broad bone needle.

>
draw needle ldesc
OOC: See 'help tattooing' to see the appropriate use of drawing.
