The Engravers who make the tattoos must be tattooed in order to know the priestess' pain and should be blind in order to see the priestess' dream.
During the Rite of Spirits, they must gouge out their eyes so that they might see dreams even while awake and distinguish the emotions of the red and indigo ink.
During the Piercing of the Soul, they must pierce their hands and dye them in pain in order to transfer it to the tattooed priestess.
Those dyed hands must then be cut off and cast away.

刺青を刻む刻ミ女は
巫女の柊を解すべく刺青を刻み、
巫女の寝目を解すべく目を冥くす。
紫魂ノ儀に於ては目を虚とし、
醒めながらにして寝目を見つつ
隔てし想ひの朱と藍を取り上げる可し。
刺魂ノ儀に於ては、手に棘刺し柊を染め
以て刺青ノ巫女へと刺し写す可し
柊染まりしその手は落として流す可し。
