People were only ever marked with a monster-blood tattoo if they had fought and slain a nicker.  The image of the fallen beast was pricked into the victor's skin with the dead monster's own blood.

  1. I've actually seen this in the bargain aisle at Books a Million- I didn't realize the series name was so literal! I look forward to your review.

    Mine deals with sweets rather than beasts.

  11. Yuck, I've always wanted a tattoo but not with monster blood. Sounds like it could be a fun read.

  15. Sounds slightly gruesome. Now, are monster tattoos a good thing or not so much?
