I noticed in runner havens there was a tattoo artist who'd give magic tattoos for the right price.

i'm pretty sure that's the first time I've heard of them in SR.
are there rules for these guys? or are they just astrally noticeable?



if there aren't any rules, what are some suggestions for their application?
Maybe a light drain mod? like once a day you get minus one drain to a single spell?

i hesitate to make them too good, and absolutely don't want them anything like a DnD magic item.


any thoughts out there in trid land?
