More like Dust flowing through the blood stream or crystals being fused with the body beneath the skin. My hypothesis is that a Dust biology fusion would let the subject's body replace the Expended Dust, potentially matching a Maiden's powers in a given elemeng. This was my original theory for Cinder's powers prior to the Maiden revelation. At least for when she wasn't using her dress. There is not a single thing about that that I don't find horrifying.

If it was as simple as a tatto, it wouldn't be special or impressive.
