== Description ==
Whatever the person who got the tattoo wanted it to look like.
== Location ==
Normally, the upper arm.
== Modus Operandi ==
Tattoos can be placed on a person with a magical ink (often unknown to the tattoo artist) which causes the tattoo to become sentient. It can move and talk to the host, but no one else can see this without knowing what they’re looking for and succeeding in a Faith roll (otherwise it is in a state of Quantum Flux). It will often be very charismatic, and talks the host into performing reprehensible deeds simply because it needs nothing else and can only be entertained from its boredom by extreme actions its host may take at its request. It will assault their senses, hacking away at their minds, driving them crazy until they can no longer do anything but what their tattoo requires of them.
== Neutralization ==
Tattooing over, burning, or cutting the tattoo will only make it angry. Magick may work in some cases. However, the best way to do away with the tattoo is to either cut off the limb or the entire patch of skin on which it can be found, and then destroying what was cut off so it can’t use its Telepathy to continue to contact its host.
== Story Seed ==
A murderer with a tattoo of a naked woman on his shoulder claims he is completely innocent of his crimes. He instead blames it on a woman whom he describes very similarly to the woman on his tattoo.
