A while ago we announced that after the introduction of the new "tattoo" layer in Second Life Viewer 2, we were testing on implementing this layer on our current and future BODY HAiR SHOP products. We are still working on that, however the release of the "tattoo" layer might take a while, and there are two main reasons for this delay, none of them directly related with the BODY HAiR SHOP.
First, there are still very few Second Life residents that use exclusively the new SLv2. The vast majority of the residents are still using the SLv1 and/or Third Party SL Viewers. Considering that, according to Linden Lab, there are no plans to implement the tattoo layer in SLv1 and that most Third Party Viewers have not yet implemented the tattoo layer, wearing a tattoo layer at this time will result in a completely different viewing experience to the majority of the residents, leading to inconsistent results.
Second, and most important, the "tattoo" layer in SLv2 does not have the option of coloring/tinting like all the previous clothing layers have. This is a big omission, given that most textures need to be fine tuned for color after uploading to the SL servers. According to some sources, this will be fixed on the later versions of SLv2 but until then unfortunately we have to delay the release of the tattoo layer of our products in order to provide consistent results for everyone.
