One of the biggest focuses throughout TCoE is character customization and magic tattoos go a along way in adding to those possibilities alongside new character subclasses like the Path of the Beast for DnD barbarians. Each tattoo bestows different effects, many of which lend themselves well to advanced combat tactics or roleplay utility for PCs. TCoE offers alternatives to the ink tattoo such as being a brand or scarification, continuing the book's focus on character customization. The tattoos begin as a magic needle containing the ink that is pressed to the characters skin before literally becoming the tattoo, infusing the character with new magical abilities and emblazoning the art across their skin.
The rarity of a tattoo determines how large an area of the PC's skin is covered by the tattoo, with each tattoo offering a thematic style as inspiration for the players to describe the image itself. The new options for magic tattoos in TCoE follow some basic rules for the category at large.
