Tattoo Photo Insertion

In this tutorial we'll create a tattoo on the lady's bareback and we promise, we've got no needles to hurt the lady :)

Start by opening an image in which you can see some exposed body part. In this image we'll place the tattoo on the lady's bareback.

Open an image or clipart of a tattoo drawing. Our clipart have no background. If you have a tattoo art wih background merged, you have to knockout the background using magic wand or other tools.

Drag the tattoo to the main file.

Press Ctrl+T to transform the tattoo layer and resize it so that it stay's nicely on the lady's back.
With Ctrl+T still enabled, right click and select warp.

Drag and adjust nodes to shape it like that body part.

 

Once you adjust the nodes and shape it fine just change the layer mode of the tattoo layer to soft light in layer window.
Though soft light will take care of everything, if needed select part of tattoo covering hair and press delete.
hey we've peirced a nice tattoo on this lady's back without any ooh! aah! ouch!
