Characters with Tattoos on Body

Hey There! I see a few characters running around with tattoos on their body. How do I get this?

Thanks!

You don't, they're legacy tattoos for people who played the game prior to its relaunch as ARR, and I think even then it's only for specific characters that existed before 2.0.

Jimbo is right - that's the 'Mark of the Twelve', otherwise known as the 'Legacy Mark' - it's only given to characters who were originally created in the original version of FFXIV (version 1.0) and who where then transferred into ARR - new characters that start in ARR from scratch do not have this mark.

It's just a way to show that character was from the original FFXIV, and can be turned on and off at will. Hence, it's not something you can get now I'm afraid.

The ones I've seen, the mark is like across the ribs -- tribalish.

They're part of certain gear. The ones that come to mind for me are the Arachne Shirts of Scouting and Striking, ilvl110 crafted ninja and monk gear. I think one of the male swimsuit glamour tops has them, too, but I'm not quite sure.

i want tattoos on my body too. there is a tattoo section in the character creation screen but there is only rubbish in it and was never updatet. why add tattoos to specific gear instead of that character creation section? i can't wear any of that gear as female whm.

please square - add some tattoos to the tattoo section

we need more tattoos not sure why we cant get 1 like the scions have or even a city state/GC tattoo

Yes! I love that.

There is also a tattoo design on the South Seas Talisman chest piece, but it's male-only iirc.

I also wish there would be more Options for tatoos all over the Body :) Atm I only got the Legacy one on my back.

I imagine the reason is that when creating the character customisation they didn't work in a feature for having notable texture features on anything but the face. The gear thing is really just getting around the issue. Torso gear pretty much replaces the torso texture hence why when a piece of gear bugs out the entire section of the character is missing.

I'd love it too but I can understand why it probably won't be something done anytime soon.

I wish that stuff similar to this was available for more jobs.

Yes i would like to see it on my BRD

Keep in mind some of the Ravel Keeper caster arm slot pieces have tattoos, as well.

Yeah, one of the PvP sets has a different set of arm tattoos. One of the new ishgard glamour sets has one as well. The people who made this post 6 years ago didnt have those options. Though they would be happy to know that some of the sets that used to be class exclusive now have neutral versions available.

There are multiple pieces of gear that have tattoos (or perhaps body paint) with them.

I know this post is from forever ago, but this is actually something I still have to explain to people currently, so

The tattoo that many of the Scions and several of the Sharlayan NPCs have in conspicuous places mark them as Archons, sages of their disciplines. This makes them easily identifiable when they want, among other things, to access the restricted sections of Sharlayan libraries. It's the equivalent of tattooing your Ph.D. somewhere visible so the other academics know you belong among them. This is why we likely won't get this as a tattoo option ever. Though I'm still hoping a certain character will some day be able to make an Archon thesis out of
