There weren't that many Tarshites in the game, so I'm not sure it really comes across, but in King of Dragon Pass, we did have a distinct tattoo style for Tarshites vs proto-Sartarites. (IIRC, the Tarshite style was more angular and geometric.)

I'm sure they sometimes come back with you (I think I missed a session in one of our games, in which a character's existing tattoo came back with modifications).
However, not everyone in Glorantha tattoos. Does anyone have suggestions for people who use say sacred paint? (Cultures who practice scarification seem analogous to tattooers.) Or westerners, who probably don't do any body marking?
