one of the reasons that full body or sleeve tattos are not common is the texture layout. On Mike and Vicky there are two seams on the arm, and the mesh does not line up perfectly on the upper shoulder. Which means that making a textures that has to line up there is difficult at best. Victoria 3 however has a much more 'tatto friendly' mapping, except on the back. I am considering making a full bodysuit type tattoo and converting down to V1/2 As for purchasing textures ... I tend to buy textures in spite of the tattoos. Most tattooed textures here have unlikely size and placement. Frankly ...If I want a tattoo there I can put it on myself without much trouble :)
