I had lots of fun yesterday getting the tattoos and earrings working properly. The earrings were already in, but I think there were only two choices to select from. I've now expanded it to a half dozen and I'll be sure to add a few along the way.

The tattoos got even more work. You can get up to three tattoos, which work similarly to scrolls. Along your travels, you can come across tattoo patterns and sell them to the tattoo parlor, at which point, you can get them as well.

The hardest part was limiting the player to only three tattoos. I ended up using a standard store, which seemed the simplest interface. Unfortunately there's no way via scripting to close a store when the player gets the maximum amount of tattoos. Instead, I empty out the store, so it's not possible to buy anything else. I then had to fill up the store every time, but it turned out to be easier than I thought.

Hopefully today I can start in on assigning voice clips to the Firestarter module and get that ready to go. I suspect there will be some QA tasks for me as well. The fun never ends.
