📋 About This Mod

Tattoos Everywhere

After many hours scrolling through Nexus trying to find some good tattoo mods for male Ryders and finding a scant few (but plenty for female Ryders), I told myself, "Screw this, I'm going to learn how to do this myself." To my surprise, it was actually quite simple, and I managed to create this bunch of tattoo mods in just a few hours using Procreate (my preferred program for digital art these days).

What this mod includes:

You'll have the option to choose from 12 packages;

  • []Default Scott (Steven) - replaces the body texture for default Scott's complexion;

  • []Complexion 1 (Shane) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 1;

    []Complexion 2 (Caleb) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 2;

    []Complexion 3 (Mike) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 3;

    []Complexion 4 (Kent) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 4;

    []Complexion 5 (Jason) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 5;

    []Complexion 6 (Vik) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 6;

    []Complexion 7 (Jonathon) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 7;

    []Complexion 8 (Dominique) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 8;

    []Complexion 9 (Donald) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 9;

    []Complexion 10 (Ron) - replaces the body texture for custom complexion 10;

    []and an all-in-one package that replaces all textures in one mod.

    This is V1. 0 of the mod - I plan to upload more options in the future, once I've finished exporting the .fbmod files for my female Ryder tattoo mods.

    Resources used:

    > Frosty Editor v1. 0. 6. 1 for exporting the base textures, importing the edited ones, and creating these mods;

    > Procreate for creating the tattoos;

    > Several tattoo stamp brush sets for Procreate (as they were "hosted" on PSDLY and every pack states that the file author is "N/A", I have no idea who created the packs originally, but if I find out I will list them here in an update);

    > Several free tattoo-themed fonts from dafont.com and 1001fonts.com;

    > The A-to-Z list of popular Japanese kanji for tattoos on freetattoodesigns.org;

    > The private Pinterest board of tattoo flash inspiration my friend (an apprentice tattoo artist) sent me a link to when I asked if they knew of any good resources.

    These are the kanji I chose to use in the design:

    Balance, heion

    Change, henkou

    Chaos, konran

    Courage, yuuki

    Destiny, unmei

    Discipline, kiritsu

    Endurance, taikyu
