This is a tutorial on how to make tattoos for players in NBA Live 2005. I'll start off by saying that the better the picture of the tattoo reference, the better the tattoo will come out. So I'll start off with this picture of Sean May's tattoo.
Crop out a little piece of the tattoo to be easier for you to make and create a new layer:
Then zoom in to where you best can make it:
Then grab the pen tool and start drawing the tattoo and then go to paths and hold Ctrl and click on where it says work path and it will be selected. Then go to Edit > Stroke and then click OK and deselect by holding Ctrl and pressing D or going to Select > Deselect. Then you'll get something like I have below:
Now you see how there's some black inside of the tattoo selection we made? To colour that, use the Pen tool and select the black inside part of the tattoo selection and then go to Edit - Fill and use these settings:
Then use the Pen tool and finish the tattoo and keep on doing the same thing and you'll get something like this:
When you're finished go to File > New. Now drag the layer where you made the tattoo on to the new document you just made and free-transform it.
Now you're done. To put the tattoo to a skin file, drag the tattoo layer to the skin picture and set the tattoo layer to multiply and you're done!
