🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have RaceMenu installed and updated, as this mod relies on it for the overlay system.
In RaceMenu, navigate to the overlays section to find the tattoos and adjust colors to your liking.
If tattoos don't appear, check that the mod is activated in your mod manager and that RaceMenu is the latest version compatible with your Skyrim.
