📋 About This Mod
1/8/2026 update: added pngs and STAV support
31/12/2025 update: New files have now been added splitting the 60 tattoos into 3 sets with work better with KAVT/Kaz's Tattoo Selector and Rogue Tattoo.
So I'm back again, hi :)
Following on from my bardic face tattoos, here is a set for the body. These were an interesting challenge and coming up with ideas was a little difficult but I think I got a good array of serious to outrageous, cute to pretty in there, so hopefully there's something to fit your tastes.
♡⟡˙⋆ Info ⋆˙⟡♡
Body tattoos rely on other mods to be visible. In this case Unique Tav.
Typically with UTAV only one Body Tattoo is visible/can be installed at a time. This is usually the first tattoo in the Red Channel of the DDS file.
If you use Magic Mirror Menu (MMM) you can download the merged version of the tattoos and have access to all 60.
Using the tattoos with the Magic Mirror Menu Mod you'll be able to wear three of the tattoos at the same time, those that occupy the same space, but on separate RBG Channels on the DDS file, so there is some limited customisation.
!!With the introduction of patch 8 MMM is bugged. It still works, it's just slower and a tad more finicky. Please check the pinned post in the comments for a video on how to use MMM in it's current state!!
By downloading the merged version, you can also use the tattoos with Rogue Tattoo as well. To use custom tattoos with Rogue tattoo I believe you still have to use UTAV and install it in the same location in your Data folder as you would normally install tattoos with UTAV.
My testing has found that you would only have access to the first 20 tattoos (those in the red channel of the DDS file).
The tattoos from this mod you will have access to if you use the merged file with Rogue Tattoo are: 1, 6, 7, 8, 15, 16, 21, 24, 27, 30, 31, 34, 38, 42, 44, 46, 51, 52, 57 and 58. In that order, there's a good mix of placements in that list.
I have also been told that my tattoo mods work with Jawstarion's Variety Framework Though it is not something I have used so I'm not sure how that works.
♡⟡˙⋆ Installation ⋆˙⟡♡
There 2 files available for download. A "Merged" version and a "Separated" version.
I placed all the tattoos separately in the Zip of the "separated" version to make things a bit neater.
For the separated version, download the zip, chose the folder of the tattoo number you want and drop the "Generated" folder into your "Data" folder which should look something like this: (disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3
