Can you make a tattoo from the create tattoo spell permanent and use other spells such as dark vision, cats grace etc. with regard to rune magic can these also be made permanent with similar spells but carved on small rock tokens?

Neither spell says it can be made permanent, so unless your DM allows them to be, they can't.

If you use the tattoo magic feat, they're permanent until discharged. They function as scrolls.
The Inscribe Rune feat, and the runecaster prc allows permanent runes (i believe).

If you want a magic tattoo to be a permanent effect on your body, simply price it as a slotsless magic item.

Indeed. There's nothing in the rules that says that magic items can't be made as tattoos instead.

I find the Tattoo Magic feat worthless, seeing as how it has higher requirements than Scribe Scroll, allows only up to 3rd level spells, but otherwise works exactly the same. I say just allow scribe scroll to be used on your body, or make magic item x slotless and describe as tattoo. Voila!

hmm, Acolyte of the Skin (not sure if it made it from 3.0 to 3.5) had this ability IIRC. If they're not 3.5ed, check Tome and Blood.

Apologies.

The Artist is currently under the effects of a Domination spell I've cast.

Wood Elves make good boytoys to Sun Elven Archmagi.

Well, we could always share... ;)

I don't know WHY my mind has been in the gutter so much lately. Probably the increase in working out/testosterone.

I've noticed:) Me, been working 10 hour shifts since Monday in a -25C cold storage facilty dangling 40 feet from a harness, just to maintain some seriously outdated (talking 70's) cooling units that haven't been touched since they were first installed. The cold, me being irrationally terrified of heights to the point of nausea, lack of snooze, and the due date for maintainence being this Wednesday equates into me having mucho overdose of adrenaline and thinking everything is ok, so long as the pink elves in my closet are nice to me:D
