Tattooed Monk as a 5-level PrClass... How's this?

[Klaus]

I was looking for a way to turn the Tattooed Monk (CW) into a 5-level class, but keeping the balance. I thought of making three changes to it:

- Every time the tattooed monk gains a new tattoo, he must give up one magic item body slot.

- A tattoo takes 1 day per class level to make and consumes special materials worth 1000gp per class level.

- Everytime a tatoo's effect is based on class level, it instead is based on class level x2.

How's that?

That first one makes it even less desireable than the 10 level version.

But getting 5 tattoos over the course of 5 levels (as opposed to 10, with 5 "dead levels") make the class much more powerful, doesn't it?
