For months now, I've been seeing all these "tribal" tattoos on texture maps. They resemble Klingon lettering more than anything else, and certainly don't look much like any historic tattoos or dye patterns (woad, henna, etc.). Are they part of the goth culture? I thought that werewolves and vampires came in clans, not tribes (even the perky goth in Dork Tower is a member of a clan). They don't seem to be part of the manga subculture, either: I leafed through some extremely violent copies of Kabuki, and not a tattoo in sight. There is a large fanbase in the Pacific Northwest of folks who would rather be Klingon than Human, but if this tattoo-craze was theirs, I'd expect to see lots of other Klingon-type stuff around here. So, who wears these tattoos? Why? Is it really for identification between tribal members? Carolly the Curious
