Hey, the Warded man tattoed himself. But that's another thought.
As for the distortion and misalignment, Elaine used a warded chain instead of a staff. Granted, every link in itself is solid, but the whole twists and changes with its movement.
And as for the heat, you don't have to use fire there, there are still a lot of options to use. Offensively or defencively. Maybe a kinetic dispersal pattern, to be able to withstand a punch or a quarterstaff hit.
هل أخذت الغاب مثلي منزلاً دون القصور
فتتبعت السواقي وتسلقت الصخور
هل تحممت بعطره وتنشفت بنور
وشربت الفجر خمراً من كؤوس من أثير

Assuming I'm not mistaken, didn't the coat become water repellent as a result of the sigils on it.  So those type of tats might keep him from taking a bath. And  what would making his skin bullet resistant do to the skin.  I'm thinking  a bad case of callouses.  Humor aside, why would you?   I took Aristedes tats as a sign of his lack of skills.  Molly just disappears. And as Harry once said you can always hit them with a staff.

On the subject of tattoos.  A character in a book called, The Stars My Destination, may have been one inspiration for Susan's tattoos.  And if you are looking for a good read it may be worth your time.
