Well, in Kass=ED society, only life-slaves (those enslaved for their whol=
e
life) have tattoos. The tattoo indicates their slave status, as well as
their original tribe and age at enslavement. A skilled slave-trader can
read the tattoo almost at a glance. Your people would probably be
laughed at. The slave-trade, including the tattoo-language is
continent-wide, so there probably aren't many cultures that have tattoos
for free people.
