Tamiroth, why did you choose to mutilate your beautiful Amarrian face with tattoos like some filthy Minmatar subhuman? Please fix this, for the sake of your soul; tattoos are the Mark of Destruction, placed upon the damned.

For your information, those are not tattoos, but Ni-Kunni decorative pigments made from the plants that grow on Mishi. They have a soothing smell and I think that they look nice too. A bit hard to wash off though.

But in any case, even if I choose to tattoo myself in Ealurian cave paintings from head to toe, that is no business of yours.

Very well, I have received no revelation from God regarding Ni-Kunni decorative pigments per se, although in my opinion hoping to get into Paradise on a technicality is a bit risky. Assuming you are eligable for Paradise. Which you aren't, being in SFRIM.

Owch. Today I learned my ident Tattoo damns me.

FYI: I have a slave hound that is more qualified to speak on matters of theology than Nauplius. Can we please stop feeding his already over-inflated ego?

Damned I may be, but it's certainly not going to be for something as simple as a bit of ink injected in my dermis.

If something damns you in the eyes of that particular vile heretic, mr. Tuulinen, there's a high probability that you're doing it right.

Personally, I find permanent facial tattoos tasteless, but it is probably a very practical thing for a baseliner State citizen to have one's ID code optically readable right away for the station security and whatnot.

Sort of loses its meaning with the modern capsuleers switching clones at random, but still I can understand the State officers who have all their clones marked as a statement of who they were.

I've had this tattoo since I graduated the creche and, you're right, I could elect to not have it added to my next clone, but I always feel sort of naked without it.

I do not have any facial tattoos.

When you have a face as handsomely statesmanlike as mine, why cover it with ink?

Removing it would put all the attention on your well chiseled chin, it would be distracting...

It is because we denied his app into Shaktipat Revelators, ever since then he just seemed down. He really wanted to be a part of TS-F.

In Minmatar culture, tattoos are more than just decoration. Tattoos are names, personal history in symbolic form and etc.

Some Matari just enjoy wearing their names on their faces, alright? Others just like to boast about how awesome they are...by rubbing it in their own faces.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

It's much easier to wear a plain face, a dishonest mask of nobility and righteousness when you have no decency or morality to stand for. Wearing your name and history where it can be seen by all allows New Eden to judge you honestly and if Rodj and his kind were to do this, it'd somewhat hamper their outwards pretenses. Can't have that.

Sometimes the Voluval manifests on the face, and that one cannot be removed. So, I guess in some Matari, a part of them just wants to show off how special they are....by announcing it on their faces!

I am very sure no small number of Amarr Holder secretly wish to show off how special they are....but having it show on their own faces. .

The hell does "special" have to do with anything? It's no more "special" than your life is, and you don't get to determine that yourself either.

The Voluval is a brutal tradition that has led to much suffering. The sooner it's wiped out, the better.

Amarrians have no say in how Tribe conduct Voluval.

Yes it is brutal tradition .

Being naked is disgraceful and unprofessional.
