Kallyr and Minaryth Blue (Glorantha: Intro p157). Kallyr has one under each eye and one on her chin. A fairly elaborate storm rune runs the length of one arm. Minaryth has two truth-based runes on each cheek. Kallyr's tattoos are repeated again in Thunder Rebels.

The Hedkoranth slinger (Thunder Rebels cover) has different bands around his upper arms and some wavy runes on his forearms.

Heortling Chieftain and advisers (Thunder Rebels p24). The chief has two storm runes on each cheek. His advisors do not seem to have any tattoos.

Heortling Fyrdman (Thunder Rebels p46) has a storm rune in the centre of his four head.

Crone (Thunder Rebels p63) does not have any tattoos.

Orstalor the Spearlord (Thunder Rebels p154) has two elbaorate storm runes that cover his forearms and the back of his hands.

Redsmith (Thunder Rebels p161) has rather thick zigzag tattoos all over his torso and arms.

Entarios the Supporter (Thunder Rebels p178) has a Storm Rune on the back of her hand. A bit surprising because she's an Ernaldan.

Elmalandti Bluespruce (Thunder Rebels p206) has several elaborate storm runes on the back of his hands, his arms, abdomen and legs. He's a Storm Lord so we might assume that this may be the most tattoos an Orlanthi might have.

The Vingan (Storm Tribe cover) has her arms covered in tattoos including motion runes.

The Deathdrake (Storm Tribe p102) has no visible runes. But then he's a duck...

The Goldentongue (Storm Tribe p115) has no visible runes. But he's aping the Aeolian fashions.

Harmast (Storm Tribe p239) appears to have four storm runes, two on his four arm and two in the crook of his elbow.

Vogarth (Storm Tribe p243) has his rune banded around his upper arms.
