Hi

I am creating this thread in response to another one in which we were speaking of missing tools.
In particular, Rhia474 gave a list here, one of them being something to help adding tattoos.

So, here is one that I have just wrote, and tested under Win11 and Mac Sequoia, using Poser 13.3.1009. A ZIP file can be downloaded here:
https://kdrive.digital-paradize.com/app/share/116364/431d84e4-2450-4b84-98ff-45d8fa7e5e73

Actually, the purpose of this script is to help with the Superfly engine, it should work with PhysicalSurface as well, but I mainly use Cycles. If you encounter a difficulty, don't hesitate to explain, I will add the necessary corrections.

In the following dialog, first select one of the sets. For this, I loop through the Textures folder of each runtime listed in Poser's Library Window, and I keep those that:
- include "Shana" in the name
- include at least one sub-folder containing "Inked_Vol" in its name

This method showed me that some of the sets were in two runtimes 

Upon selecting a set, the "Content" list is refreshed. Note that the list corresponds to what is in the corresponding folder, under Textures, not to what is presented in the Pose list in the Library window, hence the "01_inked_Vol2_Tat15 - jaune.jpg" file  in the example below.
Each time a content is selected, it is displayed in the right corner, as you can see above.

More than one item may be selected in the "Apply to" list.
The method used depends on the fact that all Shana's Tattoo bitmaps have a white background, so that a simple Color Multiplication suffices to create the effect:

The script is able to re-add any of the new two nodes: Tattoo mixer and Tattoo map.
I can extend the method for any other bitmap, for example PNG with transparent background, as well as any other character, as Shana's Inked volumes for Poser were exclusively for Vic4, except one for Dawn (that I don't use)

I hope that you will find it useful
