Step 1) Let’s working on the tattoo image first. Select your magic wand tool from your tool pallete, then select the white background on your tattoo design. Make sure you have selected every white on the image. After that, go to select>inverse (shift+ctrl+i)

    Super interesting! I sure will try this…the important thing is to make sure the tattoo follows the body shape, it’s not easy but sure makes all difference. Also don’t forget to make sure to include enough transparency to make the skin visible under the tattoo. Thanks guys!
