have you ever wanted to have a tattoo but ended up not wanting one because you fear that the design might not be what you really want or learn that it's in the wrong place and regret later?
why not try it in Adobe Photoshop first? to see if a tattoo looks good on you before having one, here's what you can do:
1. open any picture with an exposed body part in photoshop and a tattoo design

2. it's easier to select the dragon by selecting the white area around it first(magic wand tool) then right click and select inverse.

4. with the move tool, drag the dragon to (your) picture. to transform it, press and hod Ctrl then T. with the dragon still selected, right click and warp. adjust the nodes so that the dragon falls nicely on the skin.

5. on the layers window, change the mode to soft light or multiply (this part depends on what looks better to you). adjust opacity and blur a little.

6. you might want to delete some parts of the tattoo just like what i did with this image to give it a more realistic look.
