I make tattoo's in photoshop (per the tutorial) on a human texture, apply it in Poser and it works fine....until I animate it, then the tattoo's dissapear? any thoughts?

What happens when you just render it without animating?

you may have to render it frame-by-frame do you have pro pak?

heyas; check your animation settings to make sure you are using full render options in your animation, not display settings (which may be set to no texture, or to low-res texture preview).
