The only way to get tattoo designs in the game is to create them in the game's tattoo editing program. There is no game mechanism to use outside images for tattoos. However, you could design your tattoo in Gimp and then copy it into your tattoo registry. I have done similar things using my Photoshop program.

The important thing to remember is that the tattoo size is 25 pixels by 25 pixels, so whatever you design should be done to that size specification to make the transfer go smoothly.

Me, too, Sandy!

@Ammit I just counted the vertical pixels. It is 25.

@pestilenttempest I use a PC. I open Photoshop, copy the image I'm wanting to use for the tattoo into that program and blow it up until I can see the individual pixels clearly. Then, in the browser window, I go to the game's tattoo editor, select my color, then use the mouse to position the cursor where I want it and click to color that pixel. It's not fast but it gets the job done.

Frequently I draw the tattoo image using black, because it show up so clearly, then go back and recolor it for the look I want.
