★ This is to disperse the seam between a mesh body and a system head so that there is not a big horizontal line. I have only tried this with Maitreya because that's the mesh body I have. (I'd be interested to know how it goes with other bodies.)
★ Maitreya users: DO use your built in neck fix function in addition to this tattoo. Turn neck fix on before you start tinting so you can see what's a problem area and what's not.
★ Add the neck blender tattoo.
★ In edit outfit mode, edit the tattoo layer.
★ Tint the tattoo to suit your needs. The base texture is white so you can tint it to any color.
★ Note that the color of the tattoo is consistent around the neck and may not match variation in your mesh body's skin: When tinting the tattoo, I wore my long hair that I usually wear and focused on making the tint so that it matches most closely on the front of the neck and under the chin, which was my biggest problem area.
★If you have shaved hair or a mohawk and use a cropped hairbase tattoo, make sure to layer this tattoo underneath your hair tattoo because it does climb up the back of the head to diffuse the horizontal line.
★ Good luck!
Includes: Tattoo layer for system head/neck, and a NC with the above tips.
Styling: I am wearing an old system skin called Lovely Dead (with makeup). My Maitreya body is wearing the lightest default skin tone, which I have tinted to match my skin using the Maitreya HUD.
Works for SMB~!!!
This is exactly what I needed to match one skin to a body on smb. This worked for under the chin perfectly. Now I just need one for the neck area.
Second Life Saver! :P
This worked perfectly fine for me. Looked everywhere for this and thought i would have to end up making one myself. I have the Maitreya body and i was trying to match the skin on my body to a new skin i purchased for my original SL head. I used RGB to get the perfect match. The back might be 1 tone darker for me...(if i do say so myself im bit of a perfectionist)...but as long as the front and sides blend im ok! Thank You!
This is a great idea but...
I'm almost 9 years old so I do know how to edit. This tattoo was not at all what I expected. As explained in the description "it does climb up the back of the head" it's also high in the front as well. I have the Maitreya body and the shading is different all around on the skin tone I was wearing so I could not get a perfect match. I got the color to match in the front but then everything else was off. It looks like the skin in the photo is flat and is probably much easier to match. Great idea but the texture needs a bit of refining.
