Species of Sundara: Dwarves (PFRPG) introduced the Takatori dwarves, known for their tattoo culture.
The Takatori dwarves of Sundara boast an intricate tattoo culture, and those who can understand the tattoos can determine a dwarf’s marital status, trades, origin, successes and more just by examining them. Some of the tattoos are also magical in nature, doing more than simply showing a dwarf’s accomplishments to the world. The magical tattoos of the Takatori follow the standard rules for such. It is possible for non-Takatori to bear these tattoos, but it’s rare to find any who have other than those who have been fully integrated into a Takatori community.
Price 7,000 gp; Slot none; CL 5th; Weight -; Aura faint transmutation
These tattoos are given to those who are masters in their field of craft, and the tattoos incorporate an element of the Craft skill in question in their design; a tattoo for a master of armour, for example, might incorporate a breastplate. They can be created to benefit any Craft skill, though that skill must be determined before the tattoo is done; they cannot be changed to a different skill afterwards; another tattoo would need making instead.
The most common tattoos found amongst a group of Takatori are for skills that are relevant to that group; Takatori far from the ocean are unlikely to sport many Craft (ships) tattoos. Takatori may still sport tattoos for any craft skill; it’s just that how common a particular type of tattoo is varies by the region, and those Takatori that live outside their traditional lands are more likely to have tattoos that would not be as common in their own realms.
A Master Crafter’s Tattoo provides a +3 circumstance bonus to the relevant Craft skill.
Cost 3,500 gp; Feats Inscribe Magical Tattoo, recipient having at least 10 ranks in the relevant skill; Spells fox’s cunning
Price 6,000 gp; Slot none; CL 5th; Weight -; Aura faint evocation
These tattoos are commonly designed to look like flames or things that are associated with flames or fire.
Takatori often have an affinity to fire and the magic of the tattoo provides an enhancement to spells with the fire descriptor. It is commonly found on Takatori with the Heart of Fire species trait, though having such is not a requirement.
A Firecaster’s Tattoo will result in spells with the fire descriptor causing 1 point more of damage on every dice.
Cost 3,000 gp; Feats Inscribe Magical Tattoo, Intensified Spell; Spells burning hands
