So, I came to thinking - certain races really still have a noticeable lack of representation even with a number of racial overhauls under our belts. With a number of new toys having been released since then, I daydreamed a little and thought that it'd be neat to see some of these new toys used to draw people in to these races!
I mean, how awesome would it be if say, Tae'dae got more tattoo points on their gut/waist because of their girth while Igasho can maybe get more on their waist/chest for their mass too? Mugwumps and Merians can get some extra weight on their fingers and toes cause of their webbed appendages! Orclach and Taurian can maybe get more space on their chests while Dracnari and Kephera can get tail/thorax tattoos?!
Whether They just add more points to areas already existing or some sort of 'special' area arises (like tails and thoraxes), I'd think it'd be dandy to see. Race changes, of course, will just make those extras disappear until the person goes back to that race. Yay randomness.

Wing tattoos? Yes please.
But how does this work with changelings?

I've got mixed feelings about it... While I wouldn't say no to giving under-represented races a bit of extra oomph, it's hard to say "They get extra tattoo points because of their girth", while at the same time people of size 1 and people of size 25 get the same tattoo points. It might just be me liking logical things though (and as we all know, not all things are logical).

Wing tattoos would be dandy, but I don't think Faelings need that particular buff. Trills though would be neat.
I think that for changelings, like racial changes, would just make the extra tattoos go inactive when they move out of race A and into race B, but would reactivate if they went back to race A.
Edit: Silly Ssaliss. Your logic has no place in my fantastical world of e-magic. I'd also rather not tie tattoos to size since people would just all expand to accommodate more tattoo space rather than stay tiny for the faster portal entering.

Since it'd be tied to the race rather than the artifact, I'm pretty sure that won't work.

I'm all for making the bad races have some sort of perk, this sounds complicated due to changeling, but most of the powers aren't gamebreaking, so I don't see any real issue.

Yes, as long as illithoid can get their innerworm tattoo

I forget, would they need the stirrups to do that?
