📋 About This Mod

Don't feel like making mod descriptions rn. Here we go.

Bunch of face tattoos (Racemenu overlays). Most of them are Dalish vallaslin, with a couple of a good number of Qunari markings, a small number of Dwarven tattoos, Zevran's trademark tattoo and the Warden's trademark tattoo from the Sacred Ashes promo trailer. Plus some random Inquisition and Origins tattoos I found cool. They're made to fit Charmers of the Reach (CotR) faces. 2K resolution.

Most of them are converted (though most have to be re-repainted IIRC) from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Warden and Zevran's tattoos are my own recreation. Expect a lot of flaws as this is my first Racemenu overlay mod.

Known issues:

  • []I didn't include all vallaslin from Inquisition, just the ones I was able to without looking too weird (Sylaise still looks weird tho. Yeah.)[/]

    []They DON'T fit vanilla head mapping, and I won't be making another version that fit vanilla head mapping. Take a look at this if you're looking for something similar for vanilla heads.[/]

    []They're not 1:1 recreations--I had to erase some parts to make the tattoos morph better (like the built-in "eyeliner" on June).[/]

    []Also I probably misremembered some Elven gods' names. Probably got June and Falon'din mixed up. Whatever.[/]

    []Like I said, expect a lot of flaws: the bottom part of some tattoos are a bit off-centered on dudes, and the top part of Andruil tattoos are a bit higher/angled than how it normally is in Inquisition. It's a tradeoff of making most tattoos unisex. If it bothers enough people, I might make an updated version with separate tattoos for males and females, but right now ICBA.[/]

    []The Mythal vallaslin B and C have slight variations for males and females (it's the only vallaslin I had to make separate versions for). The female ones are slightly lowered.[/]

    []Be careful with brow sliders--they can alter the shape of the vallaslin significantly.[/]

    []The Warden and qunari ones are a bit random. The Warden's is specifically made for Oris.[/]

    What's the difference between this and Tropelicious' Vallaslin tattoos?

    Different designs (my textures are strictly based on Inquisition's assets), and theirs are fitted for vanilla heads.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod adds a collection of vallaslin (Dalish face tattoos) from Dragon Age, converted for use with Charmers of the Reach (CotR) in Skyrim. It includes the original designs plus some extras, offering players more facial customization options. With 99 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated cosmetic addition for CotR users.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid niche pick with 99 endorsements and over 6k downloads—clearly some folks are using it.
  • Brings authentic Dragon Age vallaslin into Skyrim, perfect for fans of both games.
  • Works as Racemenu overlays, so you can mix and match with other face mods easily.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Charmers of the Reach (CotR) as a dependency, so it's useless if you don't use that mod.
  • Only adds cosmetic tattoos—no gameplay or lore changes, so it's purely visual.
  • Compatibility risk with other face texture or overlay mods that alter the same slots.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who use Charmers of the Reach and want more Dalish-style face tattoos, especially Dragon Age fans. If you're not using CotR, skip it—this mod won't work without it. It's purely cosmetic, so don't expect any gameplay changes.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Charmers of the Reach installed and active before adding this mod, or the overlays won't show up.
  • In Racemenu, look for the overlay section to apply the vallaslin—they're separate from warpaint, so check the right tab.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other face mods.
