📋 About This Mod
TATTOO REMOVAL - Deacon (w/Optional Tweaks)
Complete tattoo removal for Deacon (neck, body and arms)
This is a simple retexture for Deacon that removes all tattoos for all states (prologue, flashbacks, and injured skins). Having started work on this mod before playing through the game to it's conclusion, in hindsight the tattoos play key parts in story moments which I won't spoil here - so if it's your first playthrough just keep that in mind before deciding to use this for immersions sake. Also, in an effort to create a seamless tattoo free skin, the flashback Deacon is slightly more tanned than default, though the change is not drastic.
UPDATE 1: Also added an optional file for a completely "healed" endgame arm - to be loaded after the main mod in the "pak" folder to override it correctly. Unless filenames have been changed post-download, it should load in the correct order as is. See "NOTE" below for more info on manual load order within that pak folder.
UPDATE 2: Uploaded a Deacon Tattoo Removal for Arms and Body ONLY for specific use case with head replacer mods that have their own baked in custom texture files and where load order maneuvering is tricky. Always remember to have the file in the "paks" folder lower than any other texture/model replacer pak file that you would like to replace.

Feel free to download the tattoo-free Deacon textures I've created, and if you are also a texture modder you can create your own tattoo designs working off my blank-base. I've included a zip file that has the correct file structure and names to help you get started.
Thanks for checking this out and all the best,
CaptainJack
