Good tattoo CC lives or dies on how clean it reads on skin, so this roundup leans into pieces that keep their linework crisp instead of turning to mush at a distance. Some of these are full-body ink, others are tiny face accents or dimple-side placements you'll toggle in Create-a-Sim. I've noted where a set bundles extras or where a design sits on a specific spot, so you know what you're grabbing before you download. Let's get into them.
All CC belongs to its original creators and is hosted on The Sims Resource. We link to each creator's TSR page and host nothing ourselves; previews are shown for reference with credit.
1. Tattoo 11 (HQ) – @caroll91
This one leans into detailed shading, and the HQ export is the point here. It's built to hold up under a high-quality mod so the gradients don't band or pixelate on close camera angles.
It sits well as a statement piece on an arm or across the back. The style feels drawn rather than stamped, which helps it read like real ink instead of a decal.

2. Tattoo 13 (HQ) – @caroll91
A darker, bolder take from the same HQ series, with heavier outlines that stay legible even in the CAS thumbnail. That weight makes it a good match for edgier Sims.
Because it's textured for HQ, pair it with the high-quality lighting mod for the cleanest result. On lower settings it still works, just with softer edges.

3. Tattoo 15 (HQ) – @caroll91
Here the design carries more open negative space, so the skin shows through and it never feels crowded. That makes it easy to layer with other CAS details without clashing.
It suits a Sim you want to look tattooed but not covered. The restraint is what sells it, and it photographs cleanly in gallery shots.

4. Face Tattoo N4 – Camile (Set) – @pinkycustomworld
Camile arrives as a full set, so you're getting a coordinated face-tattoo look rather than a single floating mark. Everything is designed to sit together across the cheeks and jaw.
The placement hugs the face naturally, following the contours instead of sitting flat. It's a strong pick for a soft, delicate CAS aesthetic that still reads as intentional ink.

5. Star Tattoo N2 – Celestina V3 (Tattoo) – @pinkycustomworld
This is the V3 variant of the Celestina star design, a tiny celestial accent rather than a big statement. The stars scatter across the skin like freckle-adjacent detailing.
It's subtle enough to keep on a Sim daily without stealing focus. Great for a dreamy, ethereal look where you want a hint of sparkle near the eyes.

6. Tattoo 20 (HQ) – @caroll91
Another HQ entry, this one with a more flowing, organic shape that curves rather than sitting in hard blocks. It wraps nicely around a shoulder or forearm.
The linework stays fine and consistent, so it doesn't fight busier outfits. If you like tattoos that feel botanical or fluid, this one fits the brief.
Created by Caroll91
7. Tattoo 16 (HQ) – @caroll91
This design goes larger and more filled-in, giving a solid, high-contrast presence on the skin. It's the kind of piece that anchors a whole tattooed look.
Rendered for HQ so the dense areas stay smooth instead of muddy. Best on a Sim where you want the ink to be the first thing you notice.

8. Tattoo 6 (HQ) – @caroll91
A cleaner, mid-size design that balances detail and simplicity. It reads clearly without demanding the high-quality mod, though it does look sharper with it.
It works as a first tattoo on a Sim who's otherwise minimal. The proportions keep it flattering across different body frames.
Created by Caroll91
9. Tattoo 5 (HQ) – @caroll91
This entry has a symmetrical, almost ornamental feel, which makes it easy to center on the chest or back. The mirrored layout keeps it tidy.
The HQ texturing means the repeating elements stay crisp instead of smearing together. Good for a Sim with a more decorative, styled vibe.

10. Tattoo 4 (HQ) – @caroll91
Fine, delicate lines define this one, giving it a hand-poked, understated quality. It's ink for someone who wants texture without heaviness.
Because the strokes are thin, the high-quality mod really helps here. On standard settings it still holds, just a touch softer around the edges.
Created by Caroll91
11. Tattoo 3 (HQ) – @caroll91
The last of the Caroll91 HQ pieces here goes for a flowing, illustrative style that reads like a real tattoo sketch. It has movement built into the design.
It sits nicely along a limb where the shape can follow the muscle line. A solid choice to round out a heavily tattooed Sim.

12. Freckles N02, Eyes N03, Tattoo N01, Scar N04 – @moon-presence
This is a bundled CAS pack, not just a tattoo: you get freckles (N02), eyes (N03), a tattoo (N01) and a scar (N04) in one drop. It's a handy grab if you're building a whole face at once.
Because it mixes categories, the pieces are made to layer cleanly together. Nice for a moody, detailed Sim where the tattoo is one part of a fuller look.

13. SimplyHexagons Futuristic Face Tattoo – @xyliax
SimplyHexagons goes full sci-fi with a geometric hexagon face tattoo that suits androids, aliens or cyberpunk Sims. The pattern is sharp and futuristic.
The angular shapes give it a very deliberate, tech-forward feel. If your Sim lives in a neon future, this ties the whole face together.
Created by Xyliax
14. Simply Spots Cheek Patterns – @xyliax
Simply Spots delivers soft cheek patterns rather than hard tattoo lines, sitting somewhere between freckles and painted markings. It's gentle and playful.
The spots scatter across the cheeks for a whimsical, otherworldly touch. Lovely on a fairy, alien or just a quirky human Sim.

15. Tattoo Set #2 – @mxfsims
Tattoo Set #2 gives you a small collection in one download, so you're not committing to a single design. Handy for mixing and matching across a household.
The set style stays cohesive, which makes it easy to give several Sims a related look. Good value when you want variety without hunting down separate files.

16. Thorny Rose Facial Tattoo – @ngsims3
A thorny rose runs across the face here, trading soft florals for something with a little bite. The stems and thorns give it real edge.
It's a bold placement that frames the features dramatically. Perfect for a witchy, gothic or fiercely romantic Sim who wants the flower to look dangerous.

17. Female White Ink Lotus Tattoo – @sims4krampus
This lotus design uses white ink, so it reads as raised, pale linework against the skin rather than dark saturated color. The effect is subtle and elegant.
White ink shows up softly and looks especially striking on deeper skin tones. Made for female Sims, it's a graceful pick for a serene, spiritual aesthetic.

18. Face Tattoo N4 – Camile V1 (Dimple Right) – @pinkycustomworld
This is the Camile V1 variant placed on the right dimple, giving you precise control over which side the mark sits. That specificity is the whole appeal.
Face tattoos that respect placement like this look far more natural. Choose this version if your Sim's angle or hairstyle favors the right side of the face.
Created by PinkyCustomWorld
19. Face Tattoo N3 – Callie (Dimple Left) – @pinkycustomworld
Callie is a different face-tattoo shape, and this variant anchors it to the left dimple. It's a smaller, sweeter accent than a full facial piece.
The dimple placement keeps it flirty and close to the smile line. A good subtle option for a Sim who wants one delicate mark rather than heavy ink.
Created by PinkyCustomWorld
20. Face Tattoo N3 – Callie V1 (Dimple Right) – @pinkycustomworld
Same Callie design as above, but the V1 mirror sits on the right dimple instead. Having both sides available means you're never fighting the game's default placement.
It stays understated and charming, framing the cheek without overwhelming it. Pick whichever side matches your Sim's best angle.

21. Witchy Set – Rune Tattoo – @anonimux-simmer
Part of a larger Witchy Set, this rune tattoo brings occult symbols to the skin for spellcasters and mystics. The runic marks feel purposeful and arcane.
The linework is clean enough to read as genuine sigils rather than random scribbles. Ideal for a coven Sim or anyone leaning into a magical storyline.

22. Star Tattoo N4 – Calista V3 (Dimple Left) – @pinkycustomworld
Calista V3 is a star-motif face tattoo, and this version drops it on the left dimple. It's the most detailed of the Calista star variants offered here.
The stars cluster with a celestial, night-sky feel near the cheek. Lovely for a dreamy Sim where you want a little constellation on the face.
Created by PinkyCustomWorld
23. Star Tattoo N4 – Calista V3 (Dimple Right) – @pinkycustomworld
The right-dimple mirror of Calista V3, keeping that same starry cluster but flipped to the other side. Between the two you can match either profile.
It reads as delicate and magical up close. A nice finishing detail for an ethereal or astrology-loving Sim's face.
Created by PinkyCustomWorld
24. Star Tattoo N4 – Calista V2 (Dimple Left) – @pinkycustomworld
Calista V2 is a slightly simpler star arrangement than V3, sitting here on the left dimple. Fewer stars gives it a more restrained, minimal look.
It's the version to reach for when you want a hint of celestial detail rather than a full scatter. Subtle and easy to wear daily.
Created by PinkyCustomWorld
25. Star Tattoo N4 – Calista V2 (Dimple Right) – @pinkycustomworld
The right-side companion to the V2 star design, so you can place that pared-back cluster on either dimple. Having the mirror keeps your options open.
It stays light and airy on the face without drawing too much attention. Good for a Sim who likes small, meaningful marks.

26. Star Tattoo N3 – Celestielle V3 (Dimple Left) – @pinkycustomworld
Celestielle V3 is another star-themed face tattoo, this one anchored to the left dimple with its own distinct arrangement. It rounds out this creator's celestial lineup nicely.
The design leans dreamy and soft, sitting close to the smile. A pretty choice for a whimsical, star-gazing Sim aesthetic.
Created by PinkyCustomWorld
27. Star Tattoo N3 – Celestielle V3 (Dimple Right) – @pinkycustomworld
Finally, the right-dimple mirror of Celestielle V3, completing the set so you can match whichever side you need. It's the same graceful star cluster, flipped.
Placement precision like this is what makes these feel handmade rather than pasted on. A fitting close to a lineup full of delicate, wearable ink.
