how do you make tattoos so that they go where you want them to go?

[robby Zong]

i have created a texture in a way that i want it, and it  has the alpha surrounding it, but i cant put it up to a template so that i can position it how i want... its really annoying and icant put it in the exact spot or make it the right size

is there another hidden way? arethere templates that i can save to my computer?

There are templates. Any of the clothing templates will work. Try the Chip Midnight templates. They have been around for ever.

See: Clothing Tutorials There are a number of links and helpful info there.

If you are using Photoshop Extended from CS3 or newer, you can get the avatar model and paint directly on the avatar. Otherwise facial tattoos are a pain. 

Without PS Ext, consider using Multi-Chan Hax. These are special additions to PS to allow you to unwrap the avatar templates in different ways. It makes working with different parts of the avatar body easier.
