I dont know what graphic program you use but adding tattoos is not that hard to do.

Just open the skin texture you want to modifie in your graphic program and add a layer.
Draw your tattoo on that layer and save it under a diferent name.
Thats the basic.

The problems you can run into is deformation of the tattoo becouse of the skin stretch on the model.
Search in the freebie section or the net for a seam guide for the model you use, they can be of a great help to plan out your tattoo.

Also some trial and error might help :biggrin:

I did this a few times and its not all that hard.
The only hard part is if your tattoo is crossing a seam, planing out to fit both parts can be a tidyous job.

Also I think you can add a tattoo with nodes in the material room, I think Dr Geep has a tutorial about that...but I am not shure.

I hope this helped a bit.

I am not a complete idiot, some parts are missing :)
