But...Dust Fusions aren't relevant to the modern day st all. It's an old technique, practically ancient. Ironwood said putting dust-thread in clothes was ancient, and body infusions are even older.

So tattoos make more sense than the ancient way of injecting the crystal directly into your body...not in the least because they're more comfortable, but because you can store more dust powder per square inch of skin that you can safely store as crystals under your skin. Plus remember, dust powder is more potent than crystals, and crystals can still be exploded by hitting them really hard.
