==Information==
When receiving a mayhem tattoo, the base tattoo is customized. This must follow the standard short description rule, with "tattoo" in the final 15: 15/15/tattoo. Most creatures you can imagine which cannot be played are possible, including extraplanar beings. The customized description does not have to be one of the creatures or descriptions the tattoo can already shift into. The tattoo must show a being (as opposed to, say, flora.); as one [[GameMaster|GM]] [[merchant]] stated: it must have eyes. Wandering tattoos cannot have long or show descriptions.

The tattoo will either be attuned to the list of <i>living</i> creatures or to the list of <i>undead</i> creatures. The choice could be up to the customer or the merchant.

Information

When receiving a mayhem tattoo, the base tattoo is customized. This must follow the standard short description rule, with "tattoo" in the final 15: 15/15/tattoo. Most creatures you can imagine which cannot be played are possible, including extraplanar beings. The customized description does not have to be one of the creatures or descriptions the tattoo can already shift into. The tattoo must show a being (as opposed to, say, flora.); as one GM merchant stated: it must have eyes. Wandering tattoos cannot have long or show descriptions.

The tattoo will either be attuned to the list of living creatures or to the list of undead creatures. The choice could be up to the customer or the merchant.
