Right, I think we established this earlier in the thread. A tattoo would still work just fine so long as it is visible because a grimoire works primarily as a reference and secondarily as an amplifier. The only problem with a tattoo is giving it enough power for it to have a tangible effect since it would lack the amplification of the inks.
