So, as it is my second game with Ralinwood coming up, it's time I had a permanent tattoo design for my wild-elf character(thankyou to the shapers for being lenient with me as a new player). Tattoo's were discussed in character and it's likely that Valna received one between game sessions, so now it's now a matter of picking what tattoo that will be for next game!
What I wore for half the weekend were simple blue battle-paint markings, and while those are fun, I don't think those should be my tatts but just simple facepaint my character can apply before a big battle. For my actual wild-elf tattoo I was thinking something celt-ish on my forhead centered on the bridge of my nose. I've been looking at Dalish tattoo's from dragonage for inspiration, and while those are close, they're a little too large and elaborate then what I'm looking for.
I was curious if there was any in-game canon reasoning/meaning/symbolism for the tats that the elves have? There's plenty of spiritual beings and magical powers in the game one would make symbols for, so I'm curious if there's any resource for that, or whether it's all entirely up to the player to provide their own meanings and markings? While I like the freedom to do whatever I like, there's also alot of fun in having a symbol that ties more into in-game lore or is maybe something other players may recognize. Just wondering!
Any help for resources or inspiration for nice tattoo options would be much appreciated. ^_^
