Question about Tats

Quoted from Enhancements off of "The Library":
"The amount that can be increased from symbols for a single basic ability value cannot be more than +5. For example, if two symbols cause STR to increase by +3 and +4 respectively, the total increase of STR cannot exceed +5. There is no limit to the reduction in values, but it is not possible to reduce an ability value all the way to zero."

Is the +5 maximum affected by bonuses gained from armor sets?

For example:
C Grade Demon Mage Set Bonus: +4 INT and -1 WIT
If I want to do a +4 WIT -4 INT tat and +1 WIT -1 INT tat, will this work? What if I do +4 WIT -4 INT and +2 WIT - 4 INT?

Sry, super noob questions >.<

Thanks for any help!

lol! Thanks!

The +5 Max is in no way affected by armor bonuses.
+5 limit applies to tatoos only

ie: I can have a +3Str/-3Con and a +2Str/-2Con tatoo = +5 Str/-5 con (thats the max I can affect those stats with tatoos only)
On top of that I can have a BW heavy set with +3 Str -1 Con
This would bring my grand total stat modifyers to +8 Str and -6 Con. All perfectly doable since my tatoos only account for +5/-5
