Can somebody explain tattoos?

For a long time I assumed that you could only get a tattoo one time at the feast of the rose. Then I read things about getting two tattoos, noman tattoos, special gant noman tattoos separate from regular noman tattoos, resetting your tattoos... I'm a little confused right now.
How do tattoos work? Can you only have 1? Or 2? If it's the latter, do they both provide a benefit?
Can I change my tattoos later, if I later become eligible for different ones I like more? For instance, can I pick up tattoos this year, but swap one out for a noman tattoo next year when I'm ready to take the challenge?

Important note: this all hinges on the fact that nothing changes drastically this year. I don't expect it will, but the possibility is there!
To expand, if you have no tattoos, you'll be able to get one this year, and only one. The year after you get your first tattoo, you'll be able to get a second, and two is the current max. All tattoos give you a point in either Bizarre or Dreaded. The regular Noman tattoo is a hard one to obtain, but is counted as a normal tattoo (i.e. you may have it and one other). If, however, you qualify for the Noman tattoo (done by keeping the poor snowy fellow alive from now-ish until the tattoo parlour opens in February) and you already have the maximum of two tattoos then you are able to get a third, purely cosmetic tattoo of the Noman to commemorate your achievement. This tattoo has no stats.
You are only able to get rid of a tattoo that you've committed to your skin by paying Fate in the Parlour, so choose carefully.

Also: you can choose to have no tattoo, in which case you'll get a permanent point of Respectable, but can't then choose a tattoo the following year (unless by paying Fate to undo your decision).

A few further potentially notable items: Most of the tattoos other than the Noman have known, simple requirements.
However, it's not known how to get the Great Work Tattoo as it requires a quality called "The Sultan's Dream" with unknown source.
Additionally, unless I'm mistaken nobody has yet gotten all candles but waited until the Feast of the Exceptional Rose in order to get a certain name tattooed onto their skin.

Wiwo. Almost certainly not a squid in a cunningly tailored suit. Surely.
 Care for some cider? Here's how to ask me for some. Strange pranks strongly preferred.
Care to pet a Heptagoat? Too bad. It doesn't do anything (probably).
I'm a Correspondent and would be delighted to lecture at your orphanage.

It's worth bearing the following in mind:

As time has gone on, the technical side of receiving a tattoo has become very complex. We will be reviewing this content before the Christmas season begins again.

Quite right! [...]
