JustACasualSimmer Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I know this is a ridiculous thing to ask for, but because I've got a Mac and porting programs don't work on mine (for some reason) I need a bit of help if any of you have the Tattooinator. I'm not sure who to ask, so I'd thought I'd ask here.

I'm currently on High Sierra. 10.13.4.
