Tattoos that aren't genetics or clothing

[GreenEyedHobgobblin]

This might just be a pipe dream, but if I knew my way around the right parts of SimPe the first thing I'd try to tackle would be tattoos. If Crammy Boy can make a male 'member' object... If vampires can turn blue... Maybe it's possible to make a full-body overlay that could be used for tattos that stay when a sim changes clothes and that aren't passed down to their kids. It's something I know I could never do, but I get the feeling that someone could.  Anyone up to the task?

Unfortunately there is just one overlay used by the game with no obvious way to change: the vampire one. So it does not seem possible at this time.

Well, I wonder - have you got Hairfish's invisible undies/sleepwear etc?  I would imagine that if you used invisible undies, you could put tattoos on them, same applies to sleep and swimwear.  Mind you, they'd be sleeping in the buff, apart from the tattoos, but you can't have everything.  Just give them daywear and workout wear that covers where the tattooos would be.  (Or use the tattoos already in game for them to sleep in etc.)

It might even be possible to use the facepaints to create a mesh, like you see cloaks and things made from glasses.  Facepaints do stay on all the time, so that could be worth trying too.
