Tattoos - Photoshop Contest [6 entries]

The goal here is to "magically" tattoo something living. An animal, a plant or a human. You can either apply a single tattoo or a "full body" image. Create a "yakuza" cantaloupe or a tattooed elephant. Give Grandma some ink to be proud of, or give a porpoise a purpose. The tattoo can be traditional, tribal, or anything you like.

You can freehand your tattoo design, or apply another image to look like it was tattooed. Remember that only normal photos can be used for this. This excludes illustrations and other people's artwork.

This contest is open for all levels.
This contest is in finished. Check out the winners below!

MossyB: "this excludes illustrations and other people's artwork..." Does that mean we can't use images of real tattoos, as they are both illustrations AND other people's artworks? (2 years and 75 days ago)

erikuri: I suppose that real tattoos photos can be used ("Remember that only normal photos can be used for this"

. You can't use an illustration or design for a tattoo, unless it's yours. It was what I understood reading the rules; someone corrects me if I'm wrong... (2 years and 73 days ago)

ibmaxed: I would have thought a photo of a tattoo is someone elses art. Its like using a photo of a drawing or painting. (2 years and 73 days ago)

MossyB: I have been notified by the mods that a photo of a tattoo is "Someone else's artwork." Hence, you CAN NOT use a photo of a tattoo. You must design the tattoo you apply, or apply a photo to look like a tattoo. (2 years and 72 days ago)

Contest Moderator: Just to make that sure, because there is obviously some confusion:
This contest is about either creating your own tattoo from scratch or creating it with using photos.
You can't use photos of actual tattoos, neither can you use tattoo brushes or custom shapes to create the tattoo. (2 years and 71 days ago)
