tattoos.json
Every tattoo and badge the character creator offers.
Ships with every base game tattoo up to 2026. Only edit it to add tattoos your server streams.
This file is read by each player's game, not by the server. Players see changes after they reconnect, and errors appear in their F8 console rather than the server console.
