Choosing to not get a tattoo gives a point of Respectable instead of Dreaded or Bizarre and prevents choosing a second tattoo in future years. If you choose to do so, paying 50 Fate to rework your lack of tattoo allows choosing an actual first tattoo and a later year gaining a second. (And in even later years, gaining a Primeval Hint rather than a tattoo.)
@Optimatum: it appears that it was not made clear enough that “no tattoo” is a choice that can not be revoked without Fate. A few people are asking why they can’t get tattoos now. I haven’t personally done that content yet, so I don’t know how obvious the warning is.

Oh, the Forgotten Quarter, I got it, thanks !
For those who were wondering: if you pay fate to reset two tattoos, you can get another two right away (for 10*2 actions, that is).
[quote=Gonen]This year the tattoo baring "Your own name" has no indication on text if it will add Bizarre (like the wiki states). Has anyone tried it this year?

Yep, it still gives Bizarre.
[quote=metasynthie]That’s odd. What’s your tattoo, is it listed for one or both of the "Skin-Bound Memory" and "Second Skin-Bound Memory" qualities (in Circumstance on your Myself tab) and do you now have TWO points of permanent Bizarre or Dreaded?
No, I only have this year’s tattoo in my circumstances, and the bonus has gone away. But I know I had it for the majority of the year.

I’d recommend emailing support@failbettergames.com and explaining the situation to them.[li]

Valiant, thank you for that answer.
About The Great Work tattoo (sultan’s dream requirement) -
Can’t find a discussion on this but I clearly remember someone saying it was determined by forum members that it is not implemented yet. Is it an Enigma thing? How do we know? What do we know?
EDIT: Ah, found 2 short topics. One of them suggests something to do with LoN.
What is the highest advancing of LoN a player achieved?
edited by Gonen on 2/15/2016
I think that we don’t actually know anything about The Sultan’s Dream so some people assumed it isn’t yet implemented. The other suggestion I recall was it having something to do with metaqualities so needing something from another story nexus game, maybe The Silver Tree.
I find "Get a second tattoo" to be locked, though I got my first tattoo last year. The greyed out icon that is locking me out is the one that says "Unlocked when you do not have a recent visit to Millicent’s". Is it that it might be a day or few days short of a full year and will unlock shortly?
Or do I need to replay some of the Millicent story?
I’ve completed Silver Tree and have several meta qualities but not that one.
I’ve already emailed support but is anyone else locked out from getting their second tattoo because their "a recent visit to Millicent" quality hasn’t cleared?
Edit: okay, that makes two :)

Never mind, I am dumb.
Anyway, are there any new tattoos this year? My skin is full, but I’d be interested in any PMs about descriptions of the new ones.

I was trying to get two of the Fate-Locked companions, Lettice the Mercy and a Gentleman of Undisclosed Business. I logged into my alt and sent myself a 20 Masquing gift of Chivalrous Murder of a Rival. However, using that gift when my Masquing is 30 would increase it to 50. I could buy one of the 40 Masquing companions, but then I would only have 10 left over. I could get 20 more Masquing to get that to 30, but would I be able to get it to 40 again to get the other 40 Masquing companion?
tldr; I should have bought 2 10 Masquing gifts and sent them to myself. Is there any way to trade a 20 Masquing gift for 2 10 Masquing gifts? Should I submit a bug report or something?
I just did something incredibly foolish, which was to give up a fate gift to the Lady in Lilac rather than one of the regular gifts, and now I’m stuck at Masquing 39 and there’s a companion I’d like to acquire who requires 40 Masquing. Is there anyone who might put themselves forward for me to send a fate gift to, so that they may decline it?
Although now I find myself wondering if the Lady will return to my deck a second time, or must I wait until next year to encounter her again?
I’m pretty sure the Lady will return to your deck.
And feel free to send me the item, I’ll decline it, or send you a copy if I misclick.
Though it doesn’t hint it in the description text, I can confirm "your own name" still gives +1 bizarre.
@Darctos you should have a 10 Fate gift waiting for you now! I would appreciate one back, thank you!
I’m opening myself up to non-fate gifts and at least one 10 fate gift, reciprocation guaranteed.
Thanks to any kind people in advance!
I’d be happy to give and receive non-fate gifts. With reciprocation!
Is it a glitch that I can see the option for having two tattoos because i got one this time around (The one for those on their third year) or is it deliberate?
Does anyone know if i should be reporting this, or if i should assume it’s intentional?
For those that need a tiny amount of Masquing, note that you can also get a Watchful Doll by spending 3 Fate (and a number of actions hunting it down) at the Dept of Menace Eradication on Watchmaker’s Hill.
