Familiar Tattoo (Su): This ability just allows your familiar to change into a tattoo on your person. Handy for keeping it safe, or taking a strange one into a civilized area.
Varisian Tattoo (Ex): This is the feat of the same name, so it definitely enhances some of your spells.
Bloodline Tattoos (Ex): Each of your bloodline spells gets the bonus from your Varisian Tattoo feat regardless of their school.
Create Spell Tattoo (Su): let's you create the magic item of the same name:
A spell tattoo is essentially a wearable scroll inscribed on flesh instead of on parchment or vellum. These tattoos appear as colorful and intricate patterns rather than magical writing. The tattoo is a silent, spell completion item that only the bearer can activate. It vanishes when activated. A spell tattoo must be visible to the bearer and must be touched as part of its activation. These magical tattoos are not normally placed on the head, neck, or back as a result, since most creatures would require mirrors to activate them. A spell tattoo’s aura and caster level varies as per the scroll it emulates. A spell tattoo has a market price four times as much as an equivalent scroll.
So, as a standard action, you can create one of these on yourself or some other willing person. You have to expend a spell, just as you just as if you were creating a scroll. Who ever the tattoo is on can then activate it like a scroll. This has almost all the same limitations as a scroll (must have the appropriate casting stat, caster level, spell on their spell list, etc), except that the activation is silent.
Enhanced Varisian Tattoo (Su): You pick one spell affected by your Varisian Tattoo feat (including your bloodline spells). This spell must be one that lacks focus components and costly material components. You can use that spell as a spell-like ability once per day. You activate it at +2 caster level, but it doesn't gain the benefits of your Varisian Tattoo when used like this (the normal spell cast the normal way gets the Varisian Tattoo, but not this extra +2 caster level). And you can change which spell you use with this ability each time you gain a bloodline power.
