Agree 100%. I know it's been covered a million times before, but I again say that it makes no sense at all that vampirism makes externally applied pigment fade out. It makes sense for the SKIN to fade out and become more severe base don vampire stage level, but it isn't at all logical that tattoos fade as well. It makes them pointless as nearly every player I know (and every character I have) has vampirism.

With the number of head/body markings that were dropped in the most recent set of crown crates, I find it even more frustrating. Some of those tattoos are very cool and I'd like to use them, but not when they look like they've had their saturation level dropped by 90%.
