I add’d a tatto to an image. I thought this could be useful to someone who just wanted to see how a tattoo would look on them, or maybe even see how it looked before they got it done.

Feel free to add this tutorial to your blogs, or websites just credit the source thanks!

 

no offence Steam but that tutorial really isnt that good,
This is much better and the final effect is much more realistic: http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/photo-effects-tutorials/applying-a-realistic-tattoo/

 

I agree, it does not have that skin texture effect on the tattoo. Photoshop Top Secret is still the best tutorial ever.

 

It doesn't look that bad. Still, could look a tad more realistic.

 

This is my try

Ei,

it looks good enough for me, but Angelina Jolie's face looks a little bit pale. Do you put it on somebody's head? I believe you can do better with Photoshop.

 

texture would make a huge difference.

 

The one on the arm looks fine enough I guess.

Auto levels help it slightly...


Still, need some tweeking

 

Ah, I'm trying lol. I'm good with adober after effects. I've started up a tutorial site so I was trying to get some photoshop ones out. I'm picking it up. I'll keep at it though and get some better stuff out. BTW thanks for the link, that tut is really good.

 

Ah I wasn't critcising Steam, just showing a link to another tutorial, I misread the part where you said it was you who wrote the tut.

I take it Montage is your site?

 

that was great, I can add in some dragon and tiger to my body right now without getting any pain

 

Yes but you can show it only in the net you cant show the picture to some1 and tell him that you have tattoo

 

This looks cool lol

 

Nice tutorial, thanks.

 

Just add the blend and the skin texture will show through.

 

Thank you.

 

This is a great tutorial. !!

Edit: Nice site by the way.

 

Yah, Montagetutorials.com is my site. I've been trying to learn how to make more things in photoshop. I have done video editing for awhile now and working in motion graphics helps a lot so I started working with photoshop.
