Acadia, yeah... I was wanting to paste the tatoos on in Photoshop but without loosing the pore texture of the skin. That is my problem with doing make-up and grease paint also, not loosing the pore texture of the original texture. I am using www.3d.sk reference photos. Fazzel , seeing you "multiply" node makes me think that makes a lot of sense. I never have understood those math functions... I'll look at weezie but I also want to make my own tattoos. Thanks
