Step 4Final touches
Lower the opacity of the tattoo layer to somewhere around 78 percent, most tattoos don't look pure black.
I also chose to soften the edges of the tattoo by setting the eraser tools opacity to around 50% and gradually erasing away some of the outmost edges of the tattoo layer in several strokes.
Finally, I blurred the layer slightly by applying the "blur" filter in Filter > Blur > Blur
For this particular tattoo emulation, I stopped at this point. However, more curvy parts (such as arms, butts, or whatever) you could go even further by applying a distortion filter to selected parts of the tattoo layer in order to make it appear as though it curves over the bodies surface.
