I feel like it should be fashionable to have green dyed skin with all this copper floating around. I am sure some of you own copper jewelry and know what I am talking about. I have some slave bracelets made from copper and they turn my wrists, fingers and hands green just wearing them around town.

 I am sure copper nose ring would be a horrible idea as the inside of your nostrail is always wet. You'd have green under your nose and all over the area around the piercing is. But it got me thinking maybe people would get into using green dye or whatever to make it look like the skin of someone who has been wearing copper. You know because Fashion! Just a random thought. 

Like a Tattoo, allow whomever wants it, to get it at char creation.

I feel like this is something cool that could develop IG over time once copper items start circulating throughout the populace!

Could introduce a "scar" people with access to copper items could get. For example if you have a necklace of copper beads, you could wish up to get taken to the scar room to get "a line of green-stained flesh" or something like that on your neck. If it takes off, the tattooists PCs in game could market it as a thing for people who can't afford copper.

Or pay one of those new fancypants Tattoo Artists to do it for you...

I think some of this is the idea of some naturally occuring effects of wearing copper, pushing in game trends. Similar to Kadius and who else in the past getting important people to wear this or that to try and direct trends in fashion.

I think it would be a great idea to have had introduced and any trends occurred naturally from in game activities, but with it being discussed on the boards already, would feel contrived to me. Having the tattoo artists do fake skin staining is great, but without initial staining from actual copper being represented would not make sense to me.

Though I would love to see some mastercrafted fake copper-painted bone bangles and shit start showing up in the game after things get going.

I can tdesc or emote about having calloused hands from practicing the sword whether or not the sword object creates a tattoo object on my hand location for callousing. I don't see much of a difference here - copper is gonna copper regardless imo.

Looking forward to seeing whatever trends tattoo artists end up pushing out and how they interact or are influenced by popular figures or the culture around them.

I think for me, the difference being is sword callouses is not really a big part of the story line of the season.

I guess my main thing is I think this is a really cool idea, and I think it would have been amazing as a coded easter egg for the season, and think it would have been better done as a suggestion to the staff. As soon as it is a board post discussed, even if implemented it loses a lot of oomph it might have had.
