Magic Tattoos

Magic Tattoos are imprinted the aura—the magical skin—as well as the physical skin. They can manifest as a real weapon or act as a ward.
The images drew their power partly from the natural world, so they worked to a limited degree like talismans, but they also fed off a person's innate magic. [1]

They meet to talk, she promised him an hour.[2] Cassie flips through the tattoo books, learning about the different categories, types and powers of the various tattoos on offer.

He also tells her about her own ward.[1] Mac gives Sheba to Cassie.[3] When in the Dark Enchanted Forest, Mac was attacked and killed by the trees of the forest. All of he's wards had fallen off of him in golden solid shapes of the tattoos he wore—they couldn't protect him in Faerie.[4] When Cassie awoke in a prison cell of the Dark Fey King, she found Mac's wards stacked on her cot.[5] She took the wards with her when she left Faerie.[6] In the Lyceum Theatre in 1889 London, Billy Joe—in possession of Cassie's body—threw Mac's wards into the battle after many vampires entered the theatre to kill Dracula and probably Mircea Basarab as well.
