How does one go about this?

Steady hand, very fine brush, very small amount of slightly watered down paint. That's all I can say really

Thin (0.1mm) black marker pen. Perfect for tribals etc. Just remember to seal it with spray varnish (purity seal or similar.)

Thanks guys, the marker sounds best. My hands may be steady but I don't know if they are that steady haha.

The issue is tattos can often get lost in the details and just look odd.

Your best bet for 'clear' tattoos is to do your color and blackline them. Or paint the tattoos as black then with a thinner brush paint inside the lines of the black.

Less is more!

They're talking about painting tiny plastic models, not children's faces.

Use thinned paint, but make sure you wash your skin AFTER the tattoo goes on, it is in the skin, not on top of it!
