Quick. How many ball bearings can we fit in the Genie Pact’s Bottled Respite?
About 4.4 billion:
V(cylinder) = 25,133 ft³
Spheres pack at ~70%
Steel is 500 lb/ft³
1000 ball bearings are 2 lbs.
4,398,250 bags of ball bearings
…each covering a 10 x 10 area.#UnearthedArcana I look forward to watching the warlock carry them into the vessel one long rest at a time.— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) May 12, 2020
Hmm. While I admit the last version of the Genie warlock was a little awkward, as a rule I’ve removed “time out” spells and abilities from my games, as they reduce or even eliminate tension from adventuring (dungeoneering should be a risky venture even while resting). Reduce, potentially, but the bottle is still sitting there and is destructible, so Tiny Hut it is not.

Jeremy spoke on this on Dragon+ yesterday, some of this might help. Jump to 50 minutes for discussion of why the mystic was shut down, and what that might mean for another version of psionic full class: https://t.co/1uNhhFQM4e

There have been many questions recently about whether or not there will ever be a full psionic class in #dnd. Jeremy Crawford spoke at some length about it on Dragon+ yesterday, and here’s the high view answer to that question: He goes on to remind that until 2nd edition's Complete Psionics Handbook, there was no psionic class. It was a power that any character could manifest.

Exquisite.

@Dan_Dillon_1 is the intention that you'd just find the magic needle and then once its identified be able to give yourself the tattoo. I always think of the "magic tattoo artist" but they don't seem necessary for these
— Nerd Immersion (@nerdimmersion) March 27, 2020
You use the needle which becomes the tattoo, yes. Probably a tattoo artist involved in the creation of the needle and its tattoo. Magic tattoos that work like normal tattoos are a gigantic nightmare for a number of reasons, so we'll see how this approach takes.

Tattooed monk might be something to look into too
— Nerd Immersion (@nerdimmersion) March 27, 2020
With this approach to tattoos, a combination of reskinning spells (tattooist supplies are artisan's tools, artificer friends) and features is a snap.
If you want to double down and design a unique subclass around the concept of tattoos distinctly, you still can, of course.

Really glad those are helpful, and sometimes interesting (as with the discussion of bonus spell lists in the previous UA)!

A Big surprise from D&D Team!
