HELP: SPECIAL TATTOO INK@N Overview Special ink is the tattoo branch of NukeFire's component system. - Equipment uses settings and socket jewels. - Implants use ports and modules. - Tattoos use ink channels and special inks. Selected tattoos can load with one to three blank channels. Each channel has a required pattern. An ink must match that pattern. Patterns and Pigments Ink patterns use the same matching families as component shapes: any, round, spike, eye, fang, star Each ink also has a pigment family, tier, power, and stat bonus. The bonus remains active while the tattoo is on your body.

INK IS DESTROYED ON REMOVAL Special ink cannot be recovered after it has been worked into skin. - Lasering one channel destroys that ink. - Removing an inked tattoo destroys all inks in that tattoo. - No replacement ink object is returned. - SSF stamping does not protect ink from this destruction. This is the major difference from the other component systems: - Unsocketing returns the socket jewel. - Unporting returns the implant module. - Laser removal destroys special ink. Inspect carefully before removing or replacing an inked tattoo.
