The only thing you paid for was a cheaper lifetime subscription and your name in credits most people skip(and to support a game you had high hopes for). Anything else anyone who played 1.0 could have gotten without paying a dime. Even if you played 1.0 and you decided to make a new character you don't get to keep the tattoo. "Legacy tattoo" is just a name. It has nothing to do with Legacy status.
