Glamour tattoos are tattoos that when activated overwrite a character's features with a magical glamour for up to four hours. 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 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.

Tiers

Tier 1: This is a temporary tattoo that holds a limited number of uses. After the last charge has been depleted, the tattoo will disappear.

Tier 2: This is a permanent tattoo with unlimited uses. This may include optional custom messaging for RUB (activation and deactivation), TAP, and idle messaging.

Tier 3: This is the same as Tier 2, but with additional custom messaging for TOUCH, NUDGE, and PINCH while the glamour is active.

Note: Not all potential customizations will be offered with every tattoo. The degree of customization offered is up to the merchant's discretion.
