Totem Tattoo

 (Artifact o)

Like the efects of "Tatto of Lunas Favour" Charm.

Tattoo of the Shielding-Moon

 (Artifact o)

This tattoo requires 1 committed mote, and 1 mote must be spent upon activation. Activation is a reflexive action, and may be used in the same turn as a charm without the need for a Combo. When activated, the tattoo (usually placed on the forearm) sprouts as a moonsilver target shield on the weilder's arm. Treat this as a normal moonsilver target shield for all purposes. Retracting the shield costs an additional mote of essence.

Tatto of Totem's Favour

 (Artifact oo)

As long as 3 motes remain committed by the tattoos bearer, he recieves a bonus of the score of one of his Virtues, appropriate to the Totem (Storyteller's discretion), to a Skill also appropriate to the abilities of the Totem.

Pattern of the Moonsichle

 (Artifact oo)

(see Heartstone of the empty Knife GG p. 38) Embeds wepons, or small equipment into the Body of the Wearer

Luna's Aegis

 (Artifact oo) 

A mixture of moonsilver and powdered crystals is tattooed into the flesh of the recipient, usually in a design of dragon's wings covering his shoulders, scales, or something along that theme. So long as 2 motes remain committed to this tattoo, the wearer recieves a bonus soak of 4L/4B

Preserving the Earthly Masquerade

 (Artifact oo)

This tattoo is usually done somewhere between the shoulder blades of the recipient, symbolizing the element of Dragon-Blooded he wishes to masquerade as. So long as five motes remain committed to this, the Lunar's Caste mark/Anima banner manifest as that of the appropriate lineage of Dragon-Blooded, as opposed to his own Lunar anima.

Tattoo of Marital Congeniality

 (Artifact oo)

This tattoo is usually a carefully interwoven trio of lines that wind about the face of the Lunar. While three motes remain committed to this tattoo, any Lunar interacting with a Solar has a 2 die bonus to looking innocent and blameless - "Me? Why /I'd/ never cheat on you with the servant girl." - and a four die bonus to Dodges and Parries from attacks levelled by Solars.

Tattoo of Unrelentless Motion

 (Artifact ooo)

When activated, the magic enwoven into the Tattoo gives the wearer a pool of extra actions equal to its Valor score. Activation of the tattoo costs 1 point of temporary Willpower, as long as the wearer commits 5 motes of Essence to the tattoo. Actions from this pool can be expended for extra actions like the Spirit Charm "Principle of Motion". The tattoo may be activate once per day only.

Tattoo of the Dragon's Scales

 (Artifact oooo) 

This tattoo is a natural evolution of the Lunar's metamorphosing abilities and previous defensive tattoos. Tattood all over the body (usually as large dragon scales or turtle-shell pattern), this requires the investment of 15 motes of essence. The recipient has a permanent boon of 12L/12B soak. This is stackable with the tattoo of Luna's Aegis.

Skin Oath Tattoo

 (Artifact X)

This tattoo artifact works quite simmilar to a spirit's "Geas" Charm or the Oathes of the Fair Folk. Often the Lunar Charm "Broterhood of Lake and River" is emulated or inscripted in the patterns of this mighty magical tattoo.

Tattoo of the Battery

( Artifact X) Tattoos of the Battery are, essentially, augmented Essence pools. The level of essence stored varies with the level of the battery:
Level 1 - 5 Essence (counts as peripheral for expenditures)
Level 2 - 5 Essence (counts as personal.)
Level 3 - 5 Essence (personal) and 5 Essence (peripheral)
Level 4 - 5 Essence (personal) and 10 essence (peripheral)
Level 5 - 10 Essence (personal) and 20 Essence (peripheral)
These are most often used to provide committed essence for other tattoos. However, they can be bought simply to augment the recipient's accessible Essence. In that case, any Essence expended from the pool is lost until a No-Moon restores the pool; this pool does not naturally regenerate, and it can not be refilled by the recipient unless the recipient is, himself, a No -Moon.
