📋 About This Mod
31/07/2026 update: STAV support added and tattoo png files
28/12/2025 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.
On my journey to make my Dark Urge look as deranged possible (not really) I designed her a body tattoo with a ludicrous amount of skulls. Thinking that still was not enough skulls, I made 59 more skull themed tattoos.
♡⟡˙⋆ 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.
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, 3, 7, 37, 11, 16, 45, 47, 46. 20, 21, 23,24,25,30, 27, 28, 29, 26 and 31. In that order, the majority of which are back tattoos.
♡⟡˙⋆ Installation ⋆˙⟡♡
There 2 files available 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\Data)
If you're using the merged version, extract the Zip and drop the "Generated" folder into your "Data" folder which should look something like this:
(disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid variety with 60 different skull tattoos to mix and match.
- Active mod, updated recently so likely works with current game version.
- Decent community support with 174 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or previews provided, so you're flying blind on how they look in-game.
- Only skull designs — if you want other tattoo styles, this won't cover them.
For players who want to give their character a darker, edgier look with skull tattoos. If you're into pirate or biker aesthetics, this is right up your alley. Skip if you're looking for realistic or varied tattoo options beyond skulls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure — if it's a loose file mod, just drop it into your game's data folder.
- If you're using a mod manager, import the archive and activate it to avoid manual file placement errors.
- Since there are no previews, test the tattoos in character creation to see how they look on your character's body.
