	Tattoos are a large part of the planet life on Ramath-lehi. Tattoos are so culturally ingrained in Ramathian society, that it is actually considered “weird” for someone to not have tattoos. One of the oldest practises involves getting “Grading Stripes” which are tattooed stripes that Ramathians would receive for recognition of a great achievement. While dated, many Ramathians still get visible Grading Stripes - usually on their faces. However they are not always given out by the Grader family, which was who the tradition originated with. Instead there are many families who chose to reward their own kin with their own markings and insignia. Tattoos have also become more complicated and ornate over the years. Sometimes Ramathians even get their tattoos “infused” with special magic properties using a special [[Natural Resources\|Fronimium]] ink. These can vary from simple glowing, to colour changes, or even giving off heat. It takes a very skilled mage and tattoo artist to create these particular permanent works of art, and they often do not come cheap.		Tattoos are a large part of the planet life on Ramath-lehi.

		+	In some parts of Ramath-lehi, there is a tradition of covering healed-over scars with tattoos. This may be done as a way of showing off (particularly for a heavily battle-scarred warrior), or as a part of the healing process after a traumatic incident. This practice is where the colloquialism "[[Lexicon:Paint your scars\|paint your scars]]" comes from.

 It is very common for the parents of a Ramathian to keep the egg shells that their offspring hatched from (if they are an egg-producing race). The shell of a new hatchling is said to have magical properties and is used as a base for many powerful spells. The larger the shell fragment, the more powerful it is said to be. Many Ramathians keep their offspring’s shell fragments and end up getting them encased and put on display in their living rooms. Upon death, these egg shells will often be turned into the focal point of shrines deep within family tombs.

 The use of magical powers is completely legal, however there are some public establishments that have strict “no magic” policies which will result in you being thrown out or barred from entry. Aurius and Bhim in particular have many establishments where the use of magic is off-limits. It is considered very rude to use magic indoors inside public establishments (such as restaurants or cafes), and also very rude to “show off” ones magical abilities. Many users who practise magic are very modest about their talents.
