Anyone remember these and where they came from?

 

I remember using them as a reward in a 3.5 campaign but I cannot find the info on them now.  I'm looking for a friend

 

Thanks.

I think they may have been a psionic thing.

They could be magical, both arcane and divine, or psionic. IF your the DM, I'd suggest finding the magical item (any edition) that has a similar bonus, or find utility items of the right level, and just call it a tattoo  instead.

You're probably thinking of the Crawling Tattoo.

Alternative Potion, and can be a useful concept in 5e.

Thank you but not the Crawling Tattoo. 

 

I remember there being several options for tattoos (similar to the Tattooed Monk PrC).  There were options for say a jaguar tattoo and a spear tattoo, each offering different benefits to the wearer and some with the option to separate from the wearer and act accordingly..

 

I dunno, perhaps it is all just a vague shadowy dream.

Sorry man, the only tattoo's I remember were the psionic "potion" ones in Planescape.

I guess there were the dragonmarks in Eberyon as well.

I recall there being tattoos as magic items in the 3.5 Expanded Psionics Handbook

 

 

But my Google-Fu has found living tattoos in Ravenloft, as a monster (Monstrous Compendium:  Appendix III: Creatures of Darkness (MC III)

Ahh, a 2nd Edition book from '94.

 

I bet you had some behaviors back then, that might have contributed to your "no recollection" eh?
