There's some minor grammatical mistakes in 'Tattoos', like the alternating of him or her, though besides that it's a nicely written and informative piece about Minmatari culture.

Thank you! It's great to get back backstory for us minmatar :-)

But... nitpicking:

Curious about tattoos of the new Avatars in the Winter Expansion now.

Mmmh, tattoo studios in Incarna-Stations?

How do the slave pod pilots keep their tattoos after cloning?

I would imagine that as part of the reanimation process (as in, altering the clone's features to resemble the pilot that's being cloned) they would copy any cosmetic alterations, such as tattoos. I mean, after all - you don't want to waste the isk you paid out for one of those 'mood' tattoos - the ones that only come out when you're angry, etc.

For anyone who wants more tattoos.

Very cool Chronicle. Always been proud of being Minmatar; tales of tribal heritage and lore make feel even more so.

As far as clones...perhaps clone facilities employ talented techie tattooists who use sophisticated technology to recreate tattoos on newly activated clones. I always wondered about that.

So the Tattoo parlour is the Minmatar administrive complex? I can see it now... Minmatar youths queueing for hours for drivers licence tatts.

Also this character of mine uses Minmatar Core Complexion tech. Can a non Minmatar capsuleer get Minmatar Tatts that are more offical and not regarded with disdain?

And lastly can I request a chronicle to do with the subcranial micro controlers. I think they would be really really improtant tech and play an important role throughout New Eden

How do you know if you have one or not?

Interesting read. I'm hoping this place a part in the new avatar system.

Nice, now i know more about Matar culture.

Excellent.

We issue tattoos in T.R.I.A.D based upon combat prowess for our members. These can be seen on our 'Medals and Rewards' page and auto generate to their sig/template, signifying which area of their body the tattoo is placed on.

The one you can see at the bottom of this post in my sig is one such example

War Tattoos are a special case. They show when the wearer is getting excited. Possibly they can distinguish between anger and other sorts of arousal. However I'm not sure about the latter point.

This is about tattoos as a display of status and experience, rather than tattoos as intimidation tool.

And in reply to an earlier question I see no reason why someone who isn't ethnic Minmatar couldn't earn the right to wear tattoos. I suspect they'd have to be adopted by a clan and get a Mark first though. Don't know about PF examples of this but I know of at least one Caldari character who RP'd doing just that.

I wonder if the Minmatar ever play tattoo pranks on each other... like, wait for one of them to go to sleep, then use magic marker to draw a REALLY BAD mark on his face. He wouldn't even notice when he woke up. Then he'd get exiled, and everyone laughs. Except him I guess, because he's exiled.
