   The character has numerous tattoos applied.
   
2. Install and apply any of the template to the DAZ character to check the designated positions and color tones of the effect.
   
3. Right click on the content applied in the previous step and choose the Browse to File Location... command from the context menu.
   
   You can find the content here, and be sure to remember its name.

   • According to step 1, the DAZ character is Genesis 8, Female.
   • According to previous step, the skin effect is applied to DAZ character's body part (cyan) but spans three regions.
   • Therefore, the suitable tools are the DazG8F_BackSkull, DAZG8F_Body and DAZG8F_Shoulder.
