Making tattoos...

I didn't know where to ask this so sorry if this is the wrong spot...

I was wondering if there is a way to make tattoos on only one arm and/or one leg?

thx

One leg? Yes. One arm? Unfortunately not.

yes you can't say "I Love Mum' because on the other arm you get 'muM evol I' would work great in a mirror though, shame mirrors don't work in SL.

Because Tattoos are created useing a clothing layer you need to use the clothing templates. Unfortunately, The clothing layers only have one arm, so ehen you apply a picture to this area, it is copied onto the other one - backwards.
Legs however, you just need to create a texture on a lower half layer. These have spaces for both legs so you can do a tattoo on one leg or different tattoos on both legs. This won't be repeated.

Hope it helps

PS the texture forum may be able to help you with a few more tips if you need them over there they seem to know a LOT more than me at least lol.

I have tried making a texture on a prim and attaching it to the upper arm. To me it looks worse than just having matching tats, but you may feel the novalty is worth it.
