OK I realise this is pretty damn specific.

But I have this idea of painting up my Necromunda goliath gang like traditional British bovver boys / skinheads / Rockers / punks. Denim, white T-shirts, black leather. Maybe the odd brightly coloured mohican. And tattoos. My freehand painting probably isn't up to it, so I was looking into decals but not getting very far.

Is anyone aware of any classic tattoo decals available anywhere, in a suitable scale?

Only thing I've found so far (that are pretty darn good actually, if a bit too American) are these from Archer - https://www.archertransfers.com/AR99012.html

Only concerns are that they are that bit too American-looking, and also they'd need to be shipped from the US which does get pricey. Any alternative suggestions?

I cant see that transfer page. To be fair, on a scale that small tattoos aren't really going to be discernible once you get past a certain detail level anyway, so they need to be kept simple. Tribal style designs or maybe a spider Web. I once painted a torso covered with russian prison designs.. Skulls, towers, orthodox crosses etc, and it looked OK up close but further away, not so much due to the blurring effect, so keep it simple. Get a dark grey blue or dark grey green and do some simple spider webs and love hearts etc.

It didn't like the full stop at the end of the link - edited.

You're probably right regarding keeping it simple.
