Asian symbols are always a classic tattoo choice, because they allow you to express a message in a more artistic way than words would. In fact, one of the first tattoos that I plan to get will be some sort of Han character.
There are two sets of tattoos: Chinese (Hànzì) and Japanese (Kanji)

The Chinese set includes 9 different characters meaning: Brave, Brother Hood, Diligent, Dragon, Endure, Love, Loyal, Merciful and Tiger.
See additional screenshots for more symbols.

The Japanese set includes 18 different characters meaning: Demon, Dragon, Earth, Eternity, Family, Fire, Fortune, Guardian, Light, Love, Moon, Power, Sin, Sun, Talent, Water, Will and Wind.
See additional screenshots for more symbols.
Yes, there is double the amount of Japanese symbols than Chinese. No, I don't like one nationality more than the other. It's just that I found more Japanese symbols than Chinese ones.
Bonus!
As a Thank You for being such an awesome Sim Community, I've included two bonus tattoos for your enjoyment.


All the tattoos have just one recolorable channel because they're so simple. They are found in the tattoo section that came with Ambitions.
Please note that custom tattoos will not show up with just the 1.12 Base Game patch. You MUST have Ambitions installed.
Known Issues:
Sometimes in the tattoo selector, the tattoo thumbnail will show up as all black. My theory is that when saving the dds texture I had the alpha channel visible (which is all black). Put emphasis on the word *theory* because I'm not sure if that's the cause. However, the tattoo still shows up just fine on the sim.
Additional Credits:
Lotus and Geisha Tattoo design from Tattootribes. This site is a collection of free tattoo images, so I assumed it would be alright to use them.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
