Wolfen's Tattoos for Slavetats 12/26/25

[Wolfen09]

caffeine and adhd fueled brain got me to finish the daedra worship 2 set i had started but shelved for a bit, enjoy you sanguine worshippers

[Wolfen09]

Still working on an huge Immersive Wench set, but for a breather i decided to go back and redo buxom wench set 1 as ive since learned to paint somewhat in 3d as opposed to just putting the png on a flattened image.  Less distortions now, though some are still sort of distorted but not as much.  Check the new images for comparison shots from old to new

[Eladano]

I'm really happy to see the tats cleaned up, I'm far more willing to put them on my characters now (non-wenches, for story purposes).


The tats that read across tits ("Magica Potion Refils 50g" and "Don't Walk Without Leash" for example) kinda bug me. You have to read them down one tit, then go across to the other tit and read downwards again. I feel like the natural inclination would be to read across the tit then back down. 

Currently looks like:

 

Don't     |    Without

Walk      |     Leash


Suggestion:

   Don't      |     Walk
Without    |    Leash


It's probably awkward either way. My suggestion would let you move the tats a little closer together, down into the cleavage. That has its own problems. I suppose that by that logic, you could do the opposite thing with the existing tats, but then it gets harder to see it as one cohesive message. Either of those methods limits the angle you can see the full tat from. Maybe the trick is to rotate the words on each tit opposite directions. Twisting them so that the bottom words are closer to each other (not a whole lot, definitely no more than 45 degrees) and there's more of a break between the two halves would work.

One final consideration is that if both methods look the same on wenches, but one method looks better on smaller breasts, that that is the method that should be used.

 

I'm not sure exactly how much effort would be involved in enacting any of these suggestions, but if it sounds tedious I don't see anyone else mentioning it, so maybe its just me that's getting bugged by it.

The updated version is very very pretty! Thanks for your work.

Most breast tats are done with each breast separate so they put one message on each breast, i put the full message on both so you can only get the whole message by reading both tits.  Thus my natural inclination is to read left to right not one breast then the other.  plus the problem i ran into unironically is that longer words even when painted on 3d still warp around large breasts and the most warp happens the further towards the head you go due to less canvas there, so for tigras breast tats the word without being on bottom is unintentionally the best spot for it, where as it would be even more deformed if i put it on top of the right breast like youre suggesting.

 

the method im using is a basic stencil in blender to essentially spray paint a 2d image onto a 3d body which takes approximately 20 minutes per tat depending on my frustration with it, if i want to fully fix distortion i would have to change the 2d pic into a 3d object and spend time wrapping it to the body which would make the tats go from like 20 minutes per tat to about 4 hours per tat and thats if i knew wtf i was doing.

 

plus i fit the tats to the body im intending them to be on, so even though my player uses a more normal bodyslide, if the the character im intending them to be upon like yuriana using the wench body, i will fit them to that character's body

thank you, eventually will go back and cleanup the other sets i did before i learned to 3d paint

 

IW set is progressing ever slowly, ive got some assets made just havent painted them on but still got a crap ton of assets to make and i wont release until i do all of them in one big set (famous last words lol, if i get behind too much ill probably say fuck it and release separately)

 

set will include (as of right now):

 

Dragonborn owner set (completed, might add one or two more if i get inspiration)

 

Tavern Set (assets made):  tavern logos from the signs out front of the taverns turned into tatoos for the girls slaving away in the taverns

 

Palaces (assets made):  some gals serve in the jarls palaces this is for them, though i only have 7 even though theres 9 jarl palaces (7 have unique names like dragons reach, 2 are just labeled as jarls longhouse, looking at you falkreath and winterhold)

 

Bandit Camp Property (assets 30% made):  Even if there arent wenches in every bandit camp i just went ahead and said fuck it lets do all the vanilla bandit ones (this is for ones classified as bandit camps not vampire lairs, animal dens, or warlock hideouts)

 

Fort Property (havent started):  I consider them bandit camps but sort of separate, might add a few cross out ones for when an imperial or stormcloak takes over

 

Faction Property  (havent started):  property tats for the different factions, dark brotherhood, thieves guild, companions, silverhand, dawnguard, volkihar, already had a mages college in cities bundle but will make a different one for this one (wont do imperials or stormcloaks for this one)

 

Slave Themed (havent started):  this one will take me the longest as its more free flowing, but plans are for a cow set, bandit whore set, slave market set, beggar set (koz BWY author loves the beggars so i cant not include them), and any others i come up with down the road

 

Corruption set (havent started):  i made a corrupted set for fjotra in another set and that got me thinking about corrupted sets for priestesses of dibella, mara, kynareth

 

and thats all i have written down (that list is from like 5 months ago) but im sure ill think of more before then, this set probably by the end will be well over 100 tats (conservative estimate there)

Lol, I was starting to think about how the later suggestions I made might actually be more complicated than they sounded. That being said, if making a given tat is ~20 min with some experience, I should probably learn to make my own (so I don't hit @blahity with another monster list of suggestions).

Hell yeah. There's a couple in that theme in Sexy Supplemental Slavetats, but I'm always happy to see more.

Here's a video that taught me how to 3d paint in blender, i have found that you dont have to do the shaders tab thing for what im doing, what i do is delete the cube, i import the nif body mesh, click on the body itself, texture paint tab, add new texture slot (over on right hand side) to whatever dimensions you want (skyrim works in squares, multiples of 512x512 so i use 4096x4096) usually black if the image i want is grey (grey is best for tats to use colors in slavetats) or another color like green if the tat is black, scroll down click the color wheel to white, scroll further down to texture, add new and change it from tiled to stencil, then click on the tiny checkerboard in the bottom left corner of the right hand tool bar, open your image you want as the tattoo, go to mapping tab and change it to clip, then go to body area and you should see your image as a traceable stencil, you can move the image with right click, then just paint it on, then in the flattened image on the left, click the image tab and save as, then you just need to go to your photo editor like photoshop, paint.net, or gimp and delete the black background and leave the tattoo with a transpareent background and export it as a dds file (photoshop and paint.net has this built in, gimp the old one idk about the new one needs a 3rd party extension) with compression set to BC2/DXT3 and mipmaps to generate mipmaps.  then make an accompanying json file and drop it into your slavetats folder. 

 

Blender is a free program, idk if its newest version has the .nif file extension in it or has one for it.  the one i use is blender 3.6 with an outside extension that allows me to import .nifs which are the body meshes skyrim uses.

Going to have to try this. Get my tats looking better.

what ends up happening is it distorts on the 2d flat image instead of the on the 3d body so dont freak out if its distorted on the 2d image, thats intended

Part of the reason I haven't done some areas or done some tats is because they get too distorted by the body. Whenever I asked someone how they got their tats looking so good they would link me a playlist with a dozen 8 hour tutorials. I just wanted an answer to my specific question not learn the ins and outs of blender. Thanks for leaving some instructions!

its my adhd brain telling me to over clarify cause i dont want to be misunderstood, let me know if you have questions.  Idk if i can answer them but i can at least try to help.  Im like a parrot when it comes to this stuff, i dont know what the stuff means or what everything does but i can make the stuff work by copying what i see others do

never had that happen, anything ive done thats even close to that is like that close or far away and its because i didnt zoom in on the png i used and delete the discolored pixels around the words.  But like i said that would show close up or far away not just one.... weird

IW bandit theme tats added.  Work has been kicking my ass lately so i dont have time to wait for one mega IW set, but ill release the sets in theme batches when i can get to them.  Happy holidays, stay safe, and as always thank you

[BaneLeftNut]

I'm sorry I'm stupid, new to this, how do I install this?

EDIT: Nevermind I'm stupid, it's pretty simple, I'll add an installation explanation for any dummies who may follow me.
Just copy the contents inside textures>actors>character>slavetats from whichever Tattoo pack you just downloaded here from your downloads folder.
Then, find SlaveTatsSE in your MO2 mod list, [open in explorer], and paste the contents within SlaveTatsSE>textures>actors>character>slavetats.
