Thanks! My boyfriend is Russian (Parents from Russia) and he also speaks fluent Russian. I can read a decent amount of Russian as well and I love these tattoos! Having these in game really add to "bad boy tattoo" and it being Russian makes it that much more unique!

These tattoos are very nicely done, but I would add the word "vintage" to the description. You will hardly find such designs after 1960s, to be honest. Maybe 2-4 are still used (stars and those on religious topics, especially if used without old-fashioned text), and, probably 1-2 were made in 1980-2000 and would look somewhat natural on adult (like 40yo) sims. At the moment the most popular tattos between criminals are probably stars, rings on their fingers, cathedrals (where the amount of domes equals the amount of prison terms), knifes and roses, religious topics, women, etc.
Also, I would advise to think about removing the tatto in the lowest row, second from the left. Believe me, with the text "jews-shitmocrats*, get out from Russia" (*the mix of two words, shit + democrats) with nazi simbol this tatto is not an anti sistem one. Also, I don't know where you take the info, but nazi simbols in tattos are mostly used by people who live by racist slogan "kill the Jews - save Russia", so maybe you should avoid using such material, but, again, those tattos are for criminal sims, who are supposed to have a rotten mind, so it's up to you.
We studied modern criminal tattos at the law school in St.Petersburg (as they are often necessary to understand the position of the person in the criminal group), so I know this for a fact. Again, your work by itself is very impressive, thank you, and sorry for my English))))

Thank you very much for the information.
I knew they were old criminal tattoos haha, like ones used to tattooed the thieves and so during the first decades during the Soviet Union.
I may consider removing those you indicated and adding others when possible, I guess antisemitism was everywhere at those years...
I may add some of the information you applied if you don't mind.
Thank you and don't worry about your english... I think it's perfect, english it's not my native language anyway

Hi!! Sorry not awnsering before!! I didn't realize this comments!! :O!
I use You are Real skin map for body and face (which changes the shape of the body and face adding details like vains in men arms and body and other details to skin to simulate the real skin.

Here is the link:

And for the skin (not the same thing as body details in shape above) I use Navetsea skin.
