## Description

### Tattoo[#](#md-tattoo)

Lets you change the textures of NPCs skins and clothes.

##### Usage[#](#md-usage)

Go into the `Sons Of The Forest\\Mods\\Tattoo\\Textures` folder, copy a texture you want to overwrite and append a custom name to the original name (the custom name will show in the options) then edit it to your liking. So to overwrite "RobbyHead.png", copy it and name it something like "RobbyHeadCustom.png" (will show as "Custom" in the settings). **Don't just overwrite the original texture, create a copy**. You can create as many copies as you like of a texture.

 If you make changes to a texture or create a new one you can reload them in the game by either using the "Reload" button in the mod list or the `reloadtattoo` console command.
