This tattoo tattoo is 4K – please be mindful when you use mare and please convert your textures in penumbra to BC7 to reduce size.

Thank you so much Khalean for being my male model! Bodies shown are TBSE-X, TBSE Type W, and Rue+ 2.0.

This tattoo is fully made in Eorzean script; it’s supposed to be about the burden and responsibility of magic. It’s very nerdy, but there’s a lot packed into it. Hopefully it gives some people some fun RP/lore ideas!

I made the tattoo separately on bibo+ (soft finger) and TBSE textures, so they are mostly the same, but not completely. I included Ephelis options for Bibo as raw textures, and I upscaled and included body hair options for TBSE.

As with anything, I recommend you use penumbra for all your files. Please see below for a link to a guide. Please feel free to edit these personally to suit your particular needs! There are alternative scale cutouts you can use for masking on xma. Please use Atramentum Luminis (https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/68013) to make your skin asymmetric if you don’t want the tattoo to look weird when using vanilla gear.
