Single post in Tattoos

I think you missed the point for 1. I was trying to make. Where you draw it makes no difference - Pokemon sprites are up to around 99x99 pixels in size at most, and many are smaller than that. What this means is that this doesn't leave much space to actually draw a tattoo onto the Pokemon, especially if the sprite is detailed or very very small; something like Jigglypuff has some space in the form of flat color, while a Pokemon like Archeops has a handful of details to account for. Though it's still possible to make things even on a small scale, I don't think it can work out that well for Pokemon sprites.
