my fake tattoo

[laurenn]

i took a picture of myself and it was so horrible, it focused on my arm which was weird....so i made the focal point more interesting by creating a fake tattoo on PS. it looks real to me. :)

nicely done

[serissolutions]

Wow! Very nice looking. Youre skilled, thats for sure.

you did a nice job on the tat, may I ask how you did that exactly? I have some PS skills but not sure how you did that.

[laurenn]

i put text letters on my arm....changed perspective, size, put a gradient overlay to make it look like it went 'around' my arm. then i rasterized the text layer and erased the part that extended off my arm. then i put opacity to the % that made it look more realistic. just play with the settings to get your desired realistic look :)

You did a great job.

thanks, I'll give it a shot. Now I don't have to get one =)

Laurenn, I suspect this was a lot of work in PS, and it would have been a lot easier to just reshoot. Come on, Fess up, You just wanted to see how this looked on your arm, didn't Ya? ;) Nice job. :D
