simple tattoos

[Chassie Rowley]

Can anyone point me in a direction of finding simple instructions to make my own tats, including application to the avi?

I would like to have a simple name on either my lower back or arm.

 

Any help is appreciated.

As an aside, you cannot create a one-armed tattoo using traditional system layers. I believe there is at least one place now making one-arm tattoos in mesh, which seem to be a mostly transparent mesh sleeeve; but the default avatar in SL has only one arm, which is mirrored to create what you see. So the regular system tattoos will mirror onto both arms, and one will be backwards. I would go for the back tattoo, personally.
