CC project: tattoos
I've been considering another cc project. I know I have about a million (slight exaggeration) in progress right now, but this one occured to me as something that would be useful for storytelling. I want to make some character-specific tattoo overlays, based on Morague's real body overlay tattoos.
Tattoos are so common these days that a whole cast of characters without them seems really unusual. These days, I feel sorry for people who got tattoos to be alternative, because even their mothers probably have a lower-back tattoo. It's way more shocking to find someone without any ink on their body. My father in law (!!!) even remarked on this the other day, saying, "Not having any tattoos is the new 'having tattoos.'" (Seriously, he actually said that. :P) Tattoos would also a fun way to play around with the personalities of the characters, and you know how much I love to do that. ;)
I'm thinking of having The Shifting Paradymes get tattoos done together, maybe in celebration of their first hit single, because they seem the type (in fact, Jaxy's original outfit comes with tattoos attached, but I really hate the style of them for her). I think Jaxy would look cool with full sleeves of something (though I'm not sure what sort of sleeves, as of yet - any ideas?), and I'll probably give Zoe some sort of cheeky pinup design. Helena might get some take on woohoo hearts, I think, but maybe in red to match her hair. I'm going to keep Ripp's a secret for now, but I know exactly what I'll give him. For someone like Ripp, there's really only one tattoo option. (Hint: it's the most commonly regretted sort of tattoo.)
If I'm going to play around with this idea, I'll probably look into making some other simlish and Maxis-match tattoos, using things like the aspiration signs, woohoo hearts, llamas, the simolean symbol, sim sports logos (fighting llamas, etc.), cowplants, and alien spacecrafts. (I love the Freestyling Freezer Bunny creation by Spacedoll in this set, for example.)
What would you like to see? If you have any suggestions for simlish tattoo designs, I'd love to hear them.
