Tattoo

I have a question... I would like to give my avatar the tattoo I have in RL too.

Now I have been looking around a bit. I saw many tattoo's that were really "clothes". This would limit my possibilities for dressing up and that is not what I like.

Is it possible to have a tattoo that you can attach to your body (it should be on my left bottom cheek).

Or are there other possibilities to have a tattoo without limiting the ways you can dress up.

Thank you,
Morwen.

My understanding is that if your skin is modifiable, in the appearance menu there are slots for' tattoos'. However, if you had a nice non-library skin on it will replace the custom skin texture there with a tattoo texture you lose that skin texture- very ugly looking.

You should find tattoos being sold in underwear and pants layers for the lower body parts. I`m not sure how you dress but if it`s on your butt and you want to show it wouldnt just underwear do, keep off the pants to reveal the tattoo?

It would be nice to have an additional slot for tattoos. However i would not feel safe selling textures for those slots; there have been too many permission bugs dealing with them.

Well, in some sets of clothes I have the "underwear"-part is not really used as underwear, but is used as a very visible part.

So if I understand you well, the best thing to do is to find someone who is very experienced in making skins and see if we can come to deal of custom made skin that includes the tatoo....

I know this will not be cheap, for something very good I am willing to pay.

Ah I see


That or compromise the pants layer for the tattoo........ Afterall you have to have your pants off to see it, right? But yes, getting it on the skin is a little more permanent; i have heard of skin makers adding custom tats to skins.


However it sounds like you want a RL to SL tattoo, you need someone experienced in tattooing in SL who can get that done for you. Just because someone makes skins does not mean they will be able to create this tattoo for you. If they make this for you you would need the skin creator to be willing to add your tattoo and of course you need the original tattoo file for the skin maker so they can put it on.

I used to offer this service and with some of the RL photos people were giving me it was VERY time consuming. Make sure you provide a straight forward, direct photo of the tattoo. Perhaps the skin maker could just cut it out and put it on with ease.

Thongs!

hm?

I just like the word

Really, what I meant is there are lots of underwear styles (and outfits using that layer) - particularly in SL - that don't cover up your ass. It's a bit more acceptable to wave your bum around in a G-string bikini than nothing at all!
