I don't know if anyone has already done some of these (I may have missed them somewhere) but I've been looking desperately for some pinup skins with tattoos.

I have a ton of tattoo skins for the default maxis bodyshape, but I've recently become addicted to the CPU shape since it's much closer to my actual shape. I'm torn! Tattoos or curvyness? I'd love to have both.

If anyone could make one up for me, I'd be eternally grateful. :worship: Classic, newschool, or otherwise, any style tattoo would be great. Thanks!

P.S.: Alternately, I also love the Curvy K skins on FrannySims, so a skin for that shape/size would be awesome if anyone's interested in doing those instead. (Maybe even a whole set of different sizes if someone's ready to go really crazy with the tattoo theme :happy8:).

Okay, so since I was bored (and I, guess, a little impatient) I tried making my own custom tattoo skin from someone else's pinup base skins. I have the skin I created in photoshop saved as a jpeg and I tried loading it into the bodyshop with the skins for males and toddlers untouched, only the female skin being altered. But it didn't work. I'm not sure exactly how to make this work and I haven't been able to find a tutorial to explain it either. Could someone either explain to me what I'm doing wrong or point me to the right tutorial please?

You need to save them as BMP's, with the same filenames as the original files exported from Bodyshop.  Take a look at the skintone tutorial Gothplague put up (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=41045), it should help a bit... you'll just be using your own texture rather than just copying them from one skintone to another.

Awesome! Thank you so much! :worship:

I was just wondering if the tat skins were ever created?

I tried, but I'm still having trouble with it. For some reason, it kept saying I was using the wrong format, even though I saved them all as .bmp's. I sort of dropped the project, but if I figure it out, I'll let you know.
