Tattoos, shoulder badges on clothes, and anything else like it: all run into the same problem :: in stardard Poser figures the front and the back of the body including the arms are in T layout and the arm is divided into front and back and a shoulder badge is impossible because of mapping distortion around the shoulders. That is why in my models each arm is texture-mapped in one piece, vertical, split along the underside only, and thus shoulder badges are much easier (see attached link, Sea Patrol men sorting out some unauthorized scuba divers).

With patterns round the wrist, as with "scrambled eggs" on naval officer uniforms, there is another problem, as that area gets twisted when the wrist twists in Poser models but not in eal people.
