Finally, for coloured tattoos pretty much the same techniques are used as for black ink work. A little extra work is involved adjusting the opacity of the layer to get that blurred well worn effect, you don't want too vibrant a colour or you will not get that see-through ink applied to skin look. I sometimes use Adjustment layers and the Replace Colour option to lessen a red or to make a green more vibrant.

So basically there you have it, there is nothing too difficult to creating bodyart.

1. Use "flash" source images
2. Use Multiply for your layers
3. Use the Transform option to position and distort the tattoo.
4. Be a little creative and play with the colour and opacity settings.
