So- while the legacy perks might indicate support... the tattoo doesn't. It's just a birthmark of sorts. You can have it without having paid them a dime after buying the game.
Exactly, it literally only means that you poked 1.0 at a certain time. It does not show significant achievement other than "hey I knew about the game and logged on!"
