Is it possible with Poser's Material room, some kind of shader node, whatever, to apply tattoos or decals over a texture?
I don't mean to apply a whole new texture with a tattoo painted on it, but rather to be able to apply just a tattoo or decal to any skin surface.

For example, if I paint a tattoo of some sort and want it on a light skinned figure's Body map I would paint it on that texture. But if I wanted to have it on a dark skinned figure I would have to redo the entire thing, painting it on the dark skin map.
So obviously it would be easier to just paint it once and be able to make a mat pose file to be able to apply it to any figure without having to redo the entire texture.

I'm thinking some sort of alpha mask, but I have no idea if it's possible in Poser. It seems to me that would entail having to have two Body textures applied at the same time. Then again, I have no idea if there is some way, because I simply don't know, which is why I'm asking. ;-)
