Adding a Tattoo
Ever thought about having a cool tattoo but not sure what it will look like?
You’re lucky to be Photoshop friendly. So think twice before making a tattoo, it’s permanent. And
removing a tattoo is a painful procedure leaving ugly scars on your skin. So before you decide on
one, why not design a tattoo first and then add that tattoo to your photos in Photoshop, and see
what it will look like?
1. Open your tattoo image in Photoshop.
2. Select the Magic Wand tool or use the Quick Selection tool to get rid of a white background.

9. Cool huh? You can add some text as well using almost the same technique. The only different
step will be rasterizing your text layer before Free Transforming it.

of an image with the Magic Wand, all adjacent areas of similar color will be selected.

the image will be selected.)
3. Click on your background – a large part is selected
4. Click on another section of the background. The original selection remains, and a new
selection is added to it.
5. Continue clicking until all of it is selected.
6. Choose Select>Inverse. Instead of having the background selected, you now have everything
except the background selected.
7. Command + C to copy the selected area.
8. Go to your new document or another image.
9. Command + V to paste the copied image onto another image.
10. You can use the eraser tool to clean up any bits of the background that are still included with
your image. (in the Options bar, choose a fairly small, hard-edged brush)
