So it appears that discussing with the tattoo/hair NPC is the culprit:

I was able to repeat this every time. Load a save that isn't corrupted with the hunter armor glitch, reach the hair/tattoo menu, leave everything, has double armor.

@ubi-baron Thanks for the response back. Glad to know it’s being looked into

@ubiexcellent me too.second armorIt seems to be picked up at the correct location.

Added a ticket about it, # 13249114, no one answered yet.

Hi, I found a bug in my inventory, I don't know why my equipment is multiplied.

I don't understand when and why my cloak multiplied generating a lot of runes.

I am also investigating continuous crashes derived from error cx000005 (via windows log), I have to try various overclock settings of my RAM.
The pc does not crash but only the game.

I am at the part where Tove has taken over for Svend at the tattoo shop in Ravensthorpe. Now when I try to change my appearance or even if I just talk to Tove, one of my torso items duplicates and downgrades from flawless to superior (specifically only the huntsman torso). The duplicate acts with the original as one item (equipping one equips both). Everything was fine until Tove took over for Svend. I really don't want this glitch to happen so I reload a previous save, but now I can't change my appearance anymore. Please fix this quickly!

I have two huntsman torsos, as in, if i put on one of them and then click on the other, it takes it off. it's the same item, but shown twice, it's also troublesome to upgrade, since it resets it if i put on the non upgraded version
Is anyone else having this issue?

@xy-break Yup same issue with the same armor piece. I'm on PC.

Hey there, thanks for getting in touch! The developers are looking into this issue but I do not have a further update at this time. If further information is needed, we will be sure to let you guys know.

Same with me on PC. Both can be enhanced, but one can't be upgraded.

I noticed some duplicated armors in may inventory and with old saved games found the cause. It's Sven, the Tattoo guy. Everything was fine in my inventory till the moment I clicked on Sven to talk to him.
As soon i click on him, don't need to buy or change any tattoo, my inventory become a mess with duplicated armors. Not all of them just some armors and for now just chest peaces. Huntsman and Galloglach armors are bugged and maybe some more I don't have yet.
Not only that I have two of the same armors but I also lost all my upgrades and runes from original armors. Both duplicated armors are somehow linked and I must upgraded both of them or upgrade is lost.

It's impossible to play like that. For now I won't use Sven and I'm stuck with my originally designed Eivor.
On Reddit I found a lot of players with the same problem, duplicated armors, but most of them don't know that Sven is the cause for this bug.
I tried load back and talked to Sven few times and this bug is triggered every time. This is on PC, I don't know for consoles.

Hiya. I had a duplicate appear of the Galloglach armor earlier in the week, and I solved it by reloading an earlier save, eventually, but it happened again, and I figured out that it happens when I use the tattoo artist. Doesn't break the game or anything, but it's untidy and I suspect it's not meant to happen.

Just a heads-up. Thanks.

@raman1972 Just to add, I experimented a bit, and if I upgrade the Galloglach armor and then use the tat artist, it duplicates it and also downgrades the existing one I had back to original tier. That's not good.

Hi there! We're aware of the duplication issue and are currently investigating it. I will add the details of your thread to the report!

Ran into a rather big bug and seems i am not the only one.
Both Huntsman chest armor and Galloglach chest armor got duplicated and bug out now when u try to upgrade either of them. I saw players mentioning that they also got duplicated weapons and ship skins... with 70+ hours in and almost 300 powerlevel theres no point in restarting the game especially because it just happens again.

The second bug which is more of an annoyance is that when u pick up an opal and have to reload the save for whatever reason (crash and the likes) the map marker will be still there, but the opal is gone. Highly likely because its already in inventory and these things get "saved" online, but these map markers needs to be locked at again too esepcially because u cant properly toggle them without toggling off most of the important markers.

I have just looted a second galloglach chestplate from spalding bandit lair, I’m not sure if I have already visited here to get the first piece or if I was supposed to receive something else ?

@colabeatssprite I can confirm this. I encountered the same bug. The Vegvisir Front Tattoo is missing and after talking to the Tattoo Artist I get the Galloglach armor!
I'm on PC.

Encountered the same bug. Talking to Svend the tattoo artist adds the Galloglach Armor to my inventory.

Not sure if it's related, but I also don't have the Vegvisir Front tattoo unlocked despite having the scheme.

I have this bug too, except on PC. I also ended up with an extra Raven (starting) armor in my inventory after visiting the tattoo artist, but I bought more than one tattoo scheme that time so I don't know which did it.

I wouldn't be concerned about this except that if you already have the armor in your inventory, receiving it again resets any upgrades to zero.

same. Exact same spot as well. Guess i'll just reload and hope for a patch that actually fixes this.
