Tattoos : Fallout: New Vegas

The only problem is, in reality, in the middle of the wasteland, you are quite likely to get an infection from a tattoo.

and... you'd also get infected by taking drugs too.

Tattoos are actually a pronounced feature of BRINK (from bethesda, not yet released). They don't share a ton of details on how flexible their new system will be, but adding Tattoos is something I think would be Ultra cool. It makes more sense for Multi-player games to be honest (because the NPCs aren't going to care or understand them). It would still be nice for our self-image to have that ability in NV.

If not this game, I strongly suspect that we will have this feature on many upcoming and future games.

I like the idea of having trait tattoos that increase your rep with some factions and decreases it with others... some kind of branding from Caesar's Legion that makes the NCR automatically hostile, but increases barter in the presence of the CL or something like that.

I would love to see this integrated- tattoos as a symbol of your alliegance that actually influence people, rather than something you choose at the beginning. Someone made a thread about this idea for CL a while back, and I thought it was a great idea.

Meh.

Its been 200 years since ANYBODY knew how to make a tattoo.

First you need ink.... then a machine.. meh... to hard to do.

I dont think even RAIDERS have tatts.

And this is DIVERGENCE. In the 40s 50s, people were more moraly uptight.....

Really? Do you think people who tattoo in a federal prison have all the real equipment? No, they've got ink and a needle, it usually get's infected, but it's not that difficult to do without all the right gear, there is no sensible reason why tattoos would be any problem to make in the Fallout universe.

Tatoos would be great to see developped in a future Fallout game. Right now it can't be done, because you have to make a new race and assign it a tatooed skin. But it sure would http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/images/3211-4-1232708687.jpg (From http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3211).
