What would be the cost of getting a tattoo in Society play?
Specifically, I'm likely to bring up an Ifrit, and while they have Darkvision, the rest of the party probably doesn't. A Fire Ink tattoo would cost 10gp for the ink and be a permanent light equal to a torch. While it normally gives the Sickened effect, an Ifrit would be immune due to their fire resistance.
Ideally this would be a simple band around the wrist or arm, able to be hid by a bracelet or sleeve. Considering the cost of ink and the vague tattoo pricing, I'd say 50gp range?
Additional Resources wrote: To create an dhampir, fetchling, goblin, ifrit, kitsune, nagaji, oread, sylph, undine, or wayang character, you must have a Chronicle sheet that opens the race as a legal option at character creation. Sorry, but without a Chronicle sheet for on Ifrit, the question is rather moot. :(
The price of a tattoo becomes unavailable then? The question is still rather valid.
Quote: Tattoo: The cost of a tattoo depends on the quality, size, and number of colors used. A coin-sized tattoo in blue ink that will blur over a decade may cost 1 cp, a hand-sized one in black ink that won't fade costs 1 sp, and a tattoo covering an entire back takes several sessions and costs 10 gp. Each additional color costs as much as a single tattoo of its size. Its in the APG. Lex has a few of them.
edit: Sorry at work..don't tell my VC!
2nd edit to fix first edit....again don't tell my VC!!
If you are authorized to play an Ifrit, then the question is valid. In that case, I do not know your answer unfortunately. I wasn't sure if there were any Chronicle Sheets for an Ifrit at this time. Was hoping to save you some pain if you take the time to build a character you can not play in PFS.
Thanks @Lexica. I learn something new everyday around here. :D
Girlinhat, what I did with my Ifrit was put ranks into Craft: Tattoo. Then at the beginning of every scenario in which I want it, I spend the 10gp on fire ink and tell the GM I'm taking 10 on my Craft check.
(Because it's not on the allowed "permanent items" list, you have to redo it every scenario, but 10gp isn't much for a pretty neat effect.)
Tony, its an item that you pay for. It isn't a spell, only (most) spells end at the end of a scenario. As long as you document it, there shouldn't be any problem.
While you might not be able to do play an Ifrit easily, you can do this with a Tiefling as well.
My tiefling wizard has a few tattoos..and I've been considering a few with fire ink.
I've been thinking about doing it myself with my fire elementalist.
I don't have mine with me, but doesn't Ultimate Equipment have prices on tattoos in it?
Either that, or Pirates of the Inner Sea might, IIRC.
Edit: Found it on the PRD

While these prices represent the baseline, tattoos—like any other artwork—can be worth far more depending on the prestige of the artist.
I think that should cover the OP's question :)
This works for holy symbol tattoos from UE too! I've got a flaming holy symbol of Iomedae on my tail!

Exactly! That's what I've been doing for a while now and it's been working out pretty well.
