📋 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

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 73 endorsements and over 2,000 downloads.
- Gives male Ryder a unique, rebellious look that stands out.
- Simple texture replacement—no complex setup required.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects male Ryder; female Ryder is untouched.
- Tattoos are baked into the body texture, so they won't show through armor.
