Few food for thought type critical comments on the last image from the first page of comments :)

It's looking great, and much closer. Still a little bit of a stick-on look to it.
I wonder if there's a way to sink it in, and leave a very transparent film of skin under it. Perhaps a soft edged bump mask... Something that would create that 'floating under a thin layer of almost transparent skin' look. The outer edges need blurring :)

The specularity of the black and colored in areas on the highlight shouldn't be more then that of the skin around it. I think having it different contributes to the shiny stick on look in the tatoo area only.
