(Thanks to oli3d for this handy guide on avoiding UV distortion while making tattoos)

1. Start with a UV map. In practice, you need the skin texture from the body mod you want to use. I use the UNP UV map myself.
2. Open a copy of that skin texture in an image editor with layer support, such as Photoshop or GIMP.
3. Set your drawing color to #444544. When the tattoo is applied, this color is replaced with the user’s selected color. Any other colors stay as they are.
4. Draw the tattoo on a separate layer above the skin texture, keeping the background of that layer transparent.
5. Export only the tattoo layer as a DDS file with transparency. Do NOT include the skin texture.
6. Make a folder named TexturesActorsCharacterslavetatsyourthing somewhere convenient, such as your desktop. Don’t put it in Skyrim’s Data folder yet.
7. Copy the DDS file into TexturesActorsCharacterslavetatsyourthing
8. Make a text file named TexturesActorsCharacterslavetatsyourthing.json and put a tattoo registry for your DDS file in it. More on registries below.
9. Package the Textures folder in a .zip or .7z archive.

Your texture pack is ready to install or share. A pack can contain multiple tattoos: put the extra files in the yourthing folder and give each one an entry in yourthing.json.

A tattoo registry tells SlaveTats the tattoo’s name, where to list it in the menus, and which general body area it belongs on. An example makes this clearer. Here’s anal.json from the SlaveTats-anal tattoo pack:

[    {"name": "Fist Hole (ass)", "section":"Anal", "texture":"anal\ass_fist_hole.dds", "area":"Body"},    {"name": "Anal Slut", "section":"Anal", "texture":"anal\butt_anal_slut_raz.dds", "area":"Body", "credit":"Raziel_br"},    {"name": "Butt Slut", "section":"Anal", "texture":"anal\butt_butt_slut_zqzqz.dds", "area":"Body", "credit":"zqzqz"},    {"name": "This Anus Open...", "section":"Anal", "texture":"anal\this_anus_open.dds", "area":"Body"}]

Each tattoo description must include “name”, “section”, “texture”, and “area”. The “area” value must be “Body”, “Face”, “Hands”, or “Feet”. Beyond those required entries, you can add as many entries to a description as you need, and a registry can hold as many tattoo descriptions as you like.

Use this to add one tattoo to the player:

SlaveTats.simple_add_tattoo(Game.GetPlayer(), "Slave Marks", "Slave (pubic)")

To take that tattoo off:

SlaveTats.simple_remove_tattoo(Game.GetPlayer(), "Slave Marks", "Slave (pubic)")

To set the tattoo’s color, pass its numeric color value as the fourth parameter of simple_add_tattoo. The default is 0, or black.
