What do you use to make tattoos?
  • Trying to make a tattoo for my new line but I would like to know what you use to make your tattoos

  • I use GIMP because I can do transparent backgrounds and translucent tattoos.
  • I use Photoshop, which is the program I'm most familiar with. Since I don't have a Wacom or other drawing tablet, I'm restricted to what I can do with a mouse, which is a horrible tool for drawing. I can do fairly simple things, though.

    On the other hand, I also look for images on line where permission for use has been granted and there is no requirement to list the source of the image (it is possible to find such things). Google has a tool that will sort images by the permissions given for their use. Then I drop it into Photoshop, make any adjustments that I feel are needed, and shrink it to 25 x 25 pixels.

    Sometimes I have difficulty getting a transparent background for my PNG images, and sometimes all goes well. I'm not sure why.

  • If you don't want to download an art program, there are online programs you can use too. I use piskelapp, though you have to make sure to download as a png, because that's not the default option.

    God grant me the hbs to buy the ponies I need,
    The fortitude to resist the shiny ones I truly don't,
    And the wisdom to know there will always be more next time.
  • I use a mix of two apps on my phone (toolwiz and photodirector) for most things, but ended up asking someone with photo shop to make my tattoo. I couldn't find a better app for removing the background.

  • On your member home page, at the bottom, you will find the tattoo registration to put it on the server.

    To put a loaded tattoo on a horse, look to the tack page under an individual.

  • 1. Find the tattoo registry on the right side of your member home page under Upgraded Features. Your first tattoo slot is free, after that, they cost 10k each.

    2. Where there is an unused tattoo slot listed, click on Browse. This will allow you to locate the tattoo you want to upload on your device. It must be no larger than 25 x 25 pixels and no more than 15kbs in size. Click on the tattoo image to enter it into the editor, then click Upload Your Tattoo. If it is correctly sized, it will now be part of your tattoo registry. There is also a place where you can give it a distinctive name so you will remember what you are using it for.

    3. Go to a barn and select a horse you want to put the tattoo on. Click on the Tack tab and scroll to the bottom. Click on Edit Tattoos On This Horse, find the tattoo to add, select the place you want to put it and then click Place Tattoo. That should do the trick.

  • Does anyone happen to know if there’s a way to remove a tattoo from all horses with that tattoo?
