Going through a skin calculator I found on the internet which takes height/weight and determines the square centimeters of skin a person has, here is the amount of skin the average member of each race has using the Revised Heights & Weights Chart found in the TSS Supplemental #13

At 3,600 square cm for a Force 6 Tattoo, the 3rd number shows how many Force 6 spells you can Quicken for a TN 24 for dispelling, with the number in parenthesis showing left over skin. Don't forget, it's also Force 24 for resisting drain should someone foolishly attempt to dispel one of these bad boys (meaning Physical Drain if their Magic Rating is under 24)... :P

Admittedly, using that much of your body would be reaching into areas better left untouched, IMHO, so I wouldn't (personally) allow that much coverage unless you were a larger than average being for your race. :P

Anyhows, despite my showing how to tweak the numbers, the main objective of this post was to give those people like myself, who had NO idea how much he could tattoo (I actually figured 2 Force6 max for a human sized before finding the chart), a chart for a feel of how much they could blast on themselves to make themselves into a walking Background Count. ;)
