📋 About This Mod

None of the vanilla tattoos really satisfied me for a nomad character, so I decided to make my own. It also kind of bothered me that a lot of the vanilla tattoos look very planned, so I tried to give it a similar vibe to Judy's tattoos, in that it looks like it happened over time in response to life events, or just because V thought something would look neat (or they got drunk with friends). Obviously it's made to my own taste, and with a character in mind, but as with the vanilla options, it's really just a jumping off point for character building.

Replaces tattoo 1 in the character creator, and Includes versions for both the feminine and masculine body types. There is also a face/neck tattoo that will replace face tattoo 11. The neck tattoo isn't strictly necessary for anything, but it does bring the look together nicely imo. I've Included a version of the body tattoo without the teeny tiny text that says "be gay do crime" for those of you who want to be straight and follow the law.

Update: there is now also a version with the Bakkers tattoo replaced by crossed revolvers in the miscellanious files.

Install by dropping the .archive into your mod folder.

Update 1. 01: any issues with incorrect file placement should be fixed. The base F version and edited M version should be showing up correctly now.

Update 1. 02: the edited F version is now working correctly.

Thanks to Ms-T for Night City Tattoos. This mod wouldn't have happened without it.
