Indeed, a tattoo would best belong in the accessory section - in theory.
I know nothing about how to make mods, so...
Herbmetaru can you make suntan an accessory? If you can, then the tattoo issue would be solved right there.
And since you haven't done it, then it probably can't
First: I never did anything else then textures as mods
, didn't spend time for that yet. Might have a look at what Hooh did there. Ther is a nice one.
second: I WANT it as paint (or mole, if we would ever get it for body)
Overlays: do it throw it on a char. That's it. no recolering, adjusting position, turning or whatever
suntans: only gets recolor but loses metalic/texture as a 2nd source of detail.
What I'm working on is the mod with those textures as paints (may be a suntan later for really big body tattoos) for the whole community, not only a texture for one or only my char. The structure is done, the first textures are there (see teaser) and if I can't get the garter right, I'll leave it. I'll do a few,. that are simply not going around the leg, just the outside left leg
The paints are just so nicely customizable. With the other options, you can't allow everybody, that has it do something with it like this ( yeah, it's just a lame example):
