No Hiding Place vs Snake tattoo.

Can a Snake Tattoo be used on a No Hiding Place? The new rule book does not talk about being at home.
Your example is a little vague, but let me guess that your Tattooed Personality is at home, being targeted by a Ranged Attack, and you wonder if you can react with Snake Tattoo? Well, yes you can react, but it won't do anything. An "adjacent battlefield" is one that's on either side of another battlefield, determined by adjacency of provinces. There is no battlefield "adjacent" to your home, so the Tattooed Personality would fail to move anywhere, and would then still be a legal target for a Ranged Attack modified by No Hiding Place.

Nothing on Snake Tattoo says that your personality has to be at the current battlefield, and adjacent battlefields still exist, so what is preventing the monk from moving to a battlefield adjacent to the current battlefield from home?

My previous answer stands.
I do see your point, but there's a flaw in your logic.
Adjacency isn't... in fact CAN'T.... be determined by unstated default from the current battlefield without regard to the Personality. Consider, the current battlefield is ALSO "an adjacent battlefield" by your definition; adjacent to the ones beside it. Therefore, in the absence of specifcs such as the ones found on Never Beyond My Reach, adjacency can only be determined relative to the moving Personality's battlefield/location, and a Personality at home has no battlefield adjacent to his.
