Glamour tattoos are tattoos that when activated overwrite a character's features with a magical glamour. Depending on the level of service being offered, a glamour tattoo may cover either all of a character's features or only a single feature line. The features displayed in the glamour do not have to adhere to standard feature alteration rules, and thus can include magical or unnatural effects and non-standard phrasing and word order. However, the features do still have to pass QC standards.

The glamour lasts for a maximum duration of four hours, however there are no limits on how often it can be activated.

The tattoo has the appearance of 'an inky black sigil' and it can be placed in any standard tattoo slot. The appearance of the sigil cannot be altered.

Possible customizations beyond a character's features include activation and deactivation messaging (RUB), ambient messaging, and TAP messaging.

Verb Traps

RUB: Rub activates and deactivates the glamour. This messaging can be customized.

TAP: This messaging can be customized.

PUSH:

  • You brush your fingers over an inky black sigil. It sinks into your skin, disappearing briefly and sending a burning sensation through you before it reappears in place.
  • As XXX's fingers brush over an inky black sigil, it slowly vanishes, as if sinking into her skin. Moments later, it reappears, completely restored.

TURN:

  • As you swirl your finger around an inky black sigil, the sigil rotates slightly in place. The sensation is akin to bugs scurrying about beneath your flesh.
  • As XXX swirls her finger around an inky black sigil, the sigil rotates slightly in place on XXX's flesh.
