Future

You will need a tube -mine is here

Tattoo font here

Open a new canvas 500x 500 transparent

Foreground box of material palette on null and background on white

Open the tattoo font and size 400 type in small k

With selection tool on rectangle chose a part of your tube to use as a pattern-this need only be a small portion. I chose the middle of the hair ornament as mine. Look for this in your patterns and have the setting on angle 60-scale 40.
Flood fill the tattoo on the canvas with this pattern

Effects -3D -inner bevel-settings-shape 7-width 8-smoothness 1-depth 6-ambience 0-shininess 100-colour white-angle 315-intensity 20-elevation 30


Select none

Effects-edge effects-enhance

Effects -3D-drop shadow-default setting

Arrange towards the top of the canvas.

Layer duplicate-image resize 85 this duplicate layer only-image flip and arrange this towards the bottom of the canvas

Copy and paste your tube so that it is towards the top of the canvas and add a drop shadow on default but with 2 instead of 10 for the horizontal and vertical-repeat the drop shadow but change the settings to minus -2 instead of 2

Layers merge visible

Add a new layer for text and watermark

Layers -merge all and flatten and resize as you wish.

That's the tutorial finished and I hope that you enjoyed making the tag.
