just for fun maybe we could have a tatooing or war paint system. it wouldn’t do much besides _maybe_ give a +1 fear or joy bonus.  
basically just like how you can use markers to add custom descriptions for vanity purposes.  
after all, what’s a apocalypse without some tatoos to mark raider gangs or slaves?

I think the game takes place a bit to close to apocalypse for surviving people do such things 😉

I am pretty the game sure did, or still do have those cosmetic options.

The Deadpeople Tileset still contains tiles and codes for those cosmetics lost to the time.

Technically speaking, if you add those mutations in manually as a mod, they would work.

I mean, why wouldn’t you want to paint yourself blue and charge a horde of zombies naked and screaming? 👍

lets be honest here though, a few people probably have tried it after reaching a certain mutation/bionics threshold

I think I saw a tatoo mod somewhere while searching for the hair+ mod some months ago.

Edit: I think it’s somewhere deep in the reddit for CDDA.
