On many Lineage 2 private servers you will run into special tattoos — premium dyes that give a percentage bonus instead of the usual raw stat points. They slot into the same dye window as normal dyes, but the effect is much stronger, which is why servers usually sell them in the donation or vote shop.
Below is the classic bonus list that most servers use as a baseline. Exact values vary per server, so always check your server's shop description before you commit.

Tattoos vs. normal stat dyes
Standard dyes trade one stat for another (for example +STR / −CON) and are capped by your class. Tattoos instead give a flat percentage and usually do not lower a stat, which makes them far more powerful — and the reason many PvP servers balance them carefully or restrict how many you can wear.
If you are building a character around normal symbol dyes (the +STR/+DEX/+CON setup every class wants), read our full Lineage 2 dyes guide for the best stat-tattoo setup per class.

FAQ
Are tattoos the same as normal dyes?
They use the same dye slots, but tattoos give a percentage bonus (e.g. +12% P. Atk) instead of raw stat points, so they are far stronger.
Where do I get tattoos?
On most private servers they come from the vote or donation shop. A few custom servers drop them in-game.
Can I mix tattoos with STR/DEX dyes?
It depends on the server — many limit how many dye slots you have, so check the rules before buying.
