Storied Skin
Your skin becomes a canvas that records history as you learn it. When you receive the tattoo, choose a Lore skill. You can add the visual trait to the Recall Knowledge action in order to study your tattoos, granting you a +1 item bonus to your check using the chosen Lore skill. A storied skin tattoo starts with an icon that represents a central event in your subject of study and is usually placed on the forehead or over the heart. Each time you learn about a major event in the history of that subject, an image, design, or symbol appears on your skin to represent the event.

Traits
A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn't invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
A tattoo is a type of item that is drawn or cut into a creature's skin and usually takes the form of images or symbols.
