some other interesting notes:
# tattoo info
* metallic and gloss parameters exist, but are not accessible in the character creator
* face tattoo and body tattoo share the metallic and gloss parameters
# face tattoo info
* reads RGBA atlas, where each channel/page is a unique tattoo entry.
* In the character creator you can only have 1 tattoo at a time (one channel, one page).
* I suspect you can have R,G,B,A (4) tattoos at once as long as they are all on the same page (4 channels, one page).
* You can control the opacity (called intensity) for each channel separately.
* By default the game only has R,G,B (3) channels for this atlas.

Here is an example of the default player facial tattoos atlas. each section is a 'page' in the atlas, from 0-15. Each page has 3 channels, where a facial tattoo is in each channel (Red, Green, Blue)
