The solution is to think outside the bag.  Affix one of the tatoos to the outside of the bag, in a standard large size envelope. (whatever is necessary to ship a single unit outside of the normal packaging)

When they ask what you did that for, respond by forwarding their shipping instructions with bold added for emphasis, with the return question of how else they felt satisfying their instructions could be have been achieved.

Feed it to a live snake, then ship the snake.

Alternatively, if your statement is grammatically accurate--

Print all six of the tattoos on each sheet, on 5 sheets; put the 5 sheets in the shipping bag. Call each sheet "Combo Tattoo", or some similarly contrite nomenclature. When they demand to know why there are 6 tattoos per sheet, tell them that they are mistaken, and that each sheet contains one "Combo Tattoo", and that 5 of them were included in their shipping bag, as instructed.  When they insist that this is not what they ordered, ask them how else you are expected to make "One tattoo of each design", and "Include 5 of them in the shipping bag."  The combo tattoo is one tattoo made from each design, and there are 5 of them in the shipping bag.

Find them, cover them with one of the tattoo designs, and send one pre-done tattoo in each bag, with 5 others.

My house has two unconnected LANs wired into it. Why. Who does that?
Whoever lived here before, obviously.

[Orange Wizard]

Two? Geez. My house doesn't have any LAN wired into it. Although to be fair, it is over 20 years old, but still. No LANs.

Obviously the previous owner was very forward thinking.

One network is clearly meant for high speed private network, attached to a NAS for HTPCs. The other for internet use.

Because that is what I would use it for. (Being physically isolated, it means that the private network will not be snoopable by outsiders, and internet traffic will not pass over the wire, meaning that it can host the full gigabit bandwidth from the NAS to all connected HTPCs.)

[Graknorke]

Well one was installed before the internet was much of a thing, so was used for transferring files between computers and this shitty server room in the cellar I guess. The other one was put in when broadband was installed at the opposite side of the house, but they never had the idea that maybe it would be good to connect the two. Instead I found out that getting a wired connection up to where I want one is going to be much harder than I'd originally assumed.

One is probably 10mbit cat5, and the other 100mbit cat5e then.  No gbit cat6.

Best solution: Remove both sets of drops. Replace with cat6, and cat6 keystones. Provision one as a NAS hardline on a different subnet, put a single patch cable between that network and the internet drop network.

Say, something like this:

Internet->Internet drop router|-->Internet drops
                                            |
                                      (patch cable)-->NAS Drop router on different subnet-->NAS drops
                                         
requires you to set up a somewhat tricky "double router" configuration, but the NAS drops will be able to go out to the internet, but getting from the internet to the NAS will be difficult, and internet traffic wont interfere with NAS operation.

That is beautiful.

... I had not been aware that one of the red lanterns was a cat. The thing's name is complete and utter ham. Still, though. Rage kitty, complete with napalm vomit and the ability to depopulate worlds. It's apparently a thing.

[Eric Blank]

On my way home, saw a beat up old truck with sexy reclining girl silhouette decorations on the mudflaps. You know, standard pose. Except they had a floofy tail and snout. Furry mudflap decoration. I didn't know they even made those. I'm surprised someone is brazen enough to put them on their truck. I mean, we don't normally have raging rednecks out to kill sexual deviants, even around here, but that might be pushing it. I simply wouldn't be brave enough.

Well it's not really my house, so I might not be able to get permission to do too much. Getting a cable from the router to the other should be doable by following the path the water pipes for the central heating follow, but the wiring between the second router and the drops I want at least partially goes either through or behind a wall, and was pretty shoddily put down and is fixed in place by all kinds of shit (paint, bits of panelling) in places.
And I don't understand why I'd want a second router either. Wouldn't just having a splitter be just as good?
