i know this process but i dont like the quality of the result:You can use a skin overlay. In the character creation screen go to "Body", then on the left hand side click "Skin overlay" (should be the last option). Then on the right side at the top click "Get body overlay template" (or Face overlay template if you want to make face tattoos). This will open a folder on your pc (should be your userdata folder) with a png file called "_Export_" followed by the current time/date. Open this file in photoshop or GIMP, or whatever you prefer. You should get a white body mesh looking file. Then just make a new layer, start making your tattoo on that layer, hide the original layer and export/save your file as a .png when you're ready. Then go back to the game, and click the "Load new texture" button, go to where you saved the overlay, and choose your overlay. That should make it so your character now has the tattoo you made.
Some tips: every time I export the file in GIMP, it automatically updates in the character creator if I have the overlay imported there, making it so i can check any adjustments I make very easily. Also for tattoos you'll want to edit the transparency, otherwise it will look really bad in the game.
EDIT: should also add that you can do the same for clothing, except there it's called "clothes overlays", then "dump original texture", and depending on what you're trying to do you may want to enable "Hide base texture". This way you can cut unwanted parts out of certain clothes without actually changing the original part.
when u try to contour the jpeg files or png for a tattoo and pick one complex image, u must to clear the "white space"(example 1, notice the white on the left arm) with some tricks,but i don't like the result.
when you apply some kind of layer white color,(example 1) u must change blend method via photoshop or similar but u need a "base" for blending, so that's why i ask for skin texture, im trying to reach this level(example 2) TasteLikeChicken i have created a male tattoo sleeve and trust me is so frustrating
