I'm working on another scale tattoo. I'm having fun with it, but realized an important question... What color should I make it? So I went to see what color of my mer scales seemed to be enjoyed the most. Answer: White. By a long shot. I assume that this is because of the ability to color tint to specific needs. To investigate this, I did a number of snapshots. I did the tattoo layer white, then tinted undershirt, shirt, jacket and gloves to different colors, saved them, prepared for the shoot and snapped off a number of pictures. I changed the skin color and did another round of shots. Then I added the white tattoo layer as a background with the clothing layers over the top and did another series. And finally I did a series with the original mer scale types.

| Black skin. Dark red tint, bright red tint, blue tint and medium purple. |

| I did wait for them to rez in. Somehow, there is still a lot of detail lost. |
 |
| Same as above, but with the white tattoo under to boost the difference. |

| The originals, found on marketplace. |
Which is better... tinted scales, or the originals? Your call.
