I’m going to have four layers to my image when I’m done: one for each of those colors. The peachy skin color in the background won’t be part of the tattoo, so we can ignore that part.

Above, you can see that my base image has a teal for the anchor body, a grey for its flukes, a sandy color for the line wrapped around it, and a black outline. This will be a lot easier if the image is separated into its four color parts. Here’s the tattoo I created (using Inkscape) for my first try at making a tattoo: The image should be 512×512, which are the dimensions that TSRW works well with. This includes things like outlines-if your tattoo is to have a black outline, then black is one of the four colors. You will, at most, be able to have four colors which change in the tattoo, so I like to create a tattoo that has (at most) four colors in it.

The tattoos created using this method will show up with the Tattoo tool and in CAS, and will be available to anyone who has the latest patches (that is, they’re not just limited to those with Ambitions installed).
