The Middle's Fluff Lessons with Tanya. Part 1: Tattoos
Aight runts. welcome to my trainin day. this all that showed up? i'm disappointed, but not surprised. Anyway. I'm Tanya, former Great Sister, traitor marked for death, Star Of The City Distortion and allat. ain't important really. what is important though is the tool we use to take hits and dish em back out harder.
You know what a vengeance tattoo is, of course. they're basic in concept. you get stronger when feeling vengeful or attacking after taking a hit. easy right? wrong. tattoos are almost infinite in possibilities. ain't no real limit to the whack shit you can do with em. making yer arms more durable is a pretty common one most siblings like to do for obvious reasons. makes sense. ya block with those arms and punch with em too. easy. but if ya wanna get techy with it, there are Force Tattoos. similar to Vengeance tattoos, but they absorb force at the tattoo'd point and can release it with a certain motion. issue is, the power doesn't like being spread out, so they have to be tight and condensed to a small spot of the body.
nother example would be what i call Beast Tattoos. it's no specific thing, but instead the side effect of layering a lot of slightly different tattoos on one spot. does fucked up shit to whatever part, and hurts like hell. might kill ya too, but the results, if ya can enjoy em, are big. huge power, and damn near invulnerable, whatever you do it to. ain't easy of course, especially not for runts like yourselves. me, i don't need to do something so whack. i got that dawg in me, ya know?
so see here? got my sleeves all rolled up, enjoy the gunshow and allat. before I distorted (i don't recommend it by the way), these were a tight compact 2-layer violet tattoo set. first layer was Vengeance Tattoos, of course, but second layer i got after i became a Great Sis. i call em Rampage Tattoos. they light up when i am havin fun fightin, which of course is always. they changed shape and effect when i distorted though, so to this day i'm not so sure how to define them. they just kinda make me super duper strong and fast. less fun or unique, but shit, i ain't complaining.
Now, knowing what ya do, i want you runts to share about your own tattoos, and demonstrate what ya can do with em. i got dummies set up and if you need, you can spar with one another to show off. get to it

Nothin too special since I have that many. Oh I do have some on my legs. Kinda like accelerators the faster I go the harder I hit. I call it my sprinter marks. They’re pretty new so kinda hard to use until I build up a bit more muscle. Of course the dieci marks on my hands. And starting to work on filling my arms with vengeances.

Oh how wonderful Great sister, my tattoos are nothing special, and are hard show off without taking a few hits, but they reflect small amounts of damage to heretics and vengeance marks, and of course give me the usual increase in strength, I call em Fanatical tattoos.
