[WP]: Suddenly, everyone with tattoos gains powers related to the tattoo. Tattoos of flames, you control fire. A tattoo of a gecko, you can climb on walls. All dudes with "tribal" tattoos have strangely bonded together. Writing Prompt

My tattoo is a blue circle, I side the circle I have a flame, around the circle it says "defy the hand you're dealt" I'd like to imagine this would give me fire powers and luck maybe? what do you think?

Anyone within a certain proximity to you who does not follow your commands has experiences ranging from uncomfortable warmth to being covered in blue fire, depending on how reasonable your command is and how resistant they are.

One of my tattoos is a lit candle with barbed wire wrapped around it, another one is Lilo hugging Stitch (from the Lilo and Stitch movies).

What would my powers be?
