📋 About This Mod
MODIFIED TATTOOS
for
PRINCE ORPHEUS
I wanted to give my second favourite character (first being Voss) some more love. When I long ago translated what the Tir'su meant on Orpheus' tattoos, and started writing for him, I wanted to give more meaning and love to his tattoos, and so finally this mod. It was years ago now I designed most of these tattoos, but I'm so happy with the changes and significance I gave to them. I hope you can enjoy them too on Orpheus, and also any githyanki OCs you make.
Gith'ka tavkim krash'ht.
Included are the Skin_Atlas_Body_UNI and Skin_Atlas_Head_UNI replacers where Orpheus' tattoos are located. I've also upscaled both of them to 8192 so they are of a higher quality. If that's an issue and you want them in their original size of 4096 and don't have the ability to do so, leave me a comment or message and I will make you one.
I've also included the loose files of his head and body tattoo if you wish to add them to your own tattoo mods such as KAVT and Rogue Tattoo, and also for use in Blender and DAZ. These are also upscaled to 2048.
I only ask for credit if you use them in 3D models or elsewhere, thank you!

Thank you so much to my ever patient friends, especially Una, who have dealt with me while I worked on my conlang, worldbuilding, and this. And for those kind, amazing souls who have drawn and enjoy Orpheus with my HC tattoos already - thank you, it means the world.

A cosmetic mod that edits Prince Orpheus's Tir'su tattoos to align with the author's headcanons, including his backstory and githyanki culture. Small niche mod with 12 endorsements, last updated May 2026.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated following (12 endorsements) — if you're into Orpheus lore, this is a passion project
- Adds a personal, lore-driven touch to a character that's often overlooked
- Fresh update (May 2026) — still actively maintained
⚠️ Cons
- Very niche — only affects one character's tattoos, so if you don't care about Orpheus, skip
- No screenshots or detailed preview in the description — you're flying blind until you install
- Author's headcanons may not match your own interpretation of githyanki culture
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who are deep into Orpheus's story and want his appearance to reflect a more personal, lore-rich vision. Skip if you're looking for broader cosmetic changes or don't have strong feelings about githyanki tattoos.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a cosmetic mod, make sure you have mod support enabled in BG3 (check the in-game mod manager).
- If you're using other tattoo mods, load order matters — place this one after to ensure it takes priority.
- Test in a save where you can see Orpheus early to confirm the changes look right.
