- After turning 18, every kid is required to go to special tattoo parlor
where the town’s resident mage gives them a tattoo. No one knows what
the tattoo will be until it’s done, not even the mage. The tattoo forms
itself into a symbol that will become very important in the person’s
life. On Character A’s 18th birthday, their tattoo forms itself into a
crown.- Character A convinces their best friend, Character B, to go get a
tattoo. Not wanting anything big, Character B gets a small flower on
their back. The next morning, Character A gasps when they see Character
B’s entire back covered in vines and leaves and flowers, and they only
seem to be spreading further.- Everyone gets one tattoo in their life, and that tattoo gives them a
power of their choosing. Character A really wants the power to see
through objects, so they get a pair of eyes. However, after a series of
visions, they come to realize the power that manifested was actually
seeing into the future.- “I’m a mage and have been searching for an apprentice for years by
pushing a little bit of magic into everyone tattoo I give, just to see
if anyone reacts to it. None had, until I gave you yours. The second the
needle touched your skin, ink started flowing into patterns everywhere.
Please stop freaking out” AU- When tattoos start appearing on one’s body overnight, it’s a sign that
they’re meant to join the War of Magic. However, Character A’s parents
are major pacifists and hate the war, so Character A begins their own
struggle as they try to hide the growing tattoos their parents.- “I’ve been told all my life that moving tattoos were normal – a sign of
being healthy. But I don’t think that means the tattoos are supposed to
come off of my skin and fly around? Cause that’s why I’ve been hiding
out in my room all week” AU
