📋 About This Mod
So I have been kicking around with the idea of creating custom tattoos for the main characters in Fallout, and have decided that this is going to be the place I will be working on them!
Now I am using the Unique Player mod, so I would reccomend downloading that, though in truth depending on what mods you already have installed it may not be neccesary for it to work. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ok so what you want to do is to download the tattoo that you desire, and then locate the following folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\Textures\actors\character\PlayerHumanMale
And it is as simple as replacing the existing file with the one I have provided! (hopefully)
So stick around, and I will do my best to regularly update and put out new and exciting tattoos for you guys.
Also, if you have any ideas for a tattoo you might want, feel free to drop a comment and I will do my best to make your dreams a reality!
So in summation... Watch this space!
Current Tattoo List:
108th Infantry division (Arm) Armored Airborne (Upper Arm) Minutemen logo (Arm & Chest) Railroad logo (Arm & Chest) Institute logo (Arm & Chest) Brotherhood of Steel logo (Arm & Chest) Nuka Cola Sleeve (Whole Arm)
