This would be my answer too. Why would a tattoo on skin be any different from
an enchantment on a ring? I kind of like the idea of having to beat a bound
spirit in spirit combat before you could use it too...

Of course, this would lead to people damaging fallen comrades so they don't see
their friends' skin being used in the future...

And the sorcerer with all the wraiths mentioned earlier? Could you imagine the
havoc if he was killed by a Sunspear or similar spell? I would count that as
destroying most of the tattooes, which would mean a whole swarm of wraiths...
