============================================


============
DESCRIPTION:
============

    This mod adds 5 equippable full body tattoo sets to the game, Black, Blue, Red, 
    Galamic (Glowing Purple), and Tallemic (Shiny Silver). Each set includes tattoos 
    for the upper body, legs, feet, and hands. The tattoos are "Light Armor" and
    provide equivalent protection to glass armor.
    
    This mod also adds a new NPC merchant named "Roland Jenius" to The Best Defense
    in the Imperial City Market District, where you can purchase the tattoos.

COMMENTS/CHANGES:
=================

    I know a lot of you are immediately going to think: "What's this you say? Prancing 
    around Cyrodiil stark naked except for your undies and some body art? Preposterous!",
    but hey, these aren't any ordinary tattoos! They're, uh... magical. ;)
    
    Much like how the ancient Celts believed that painting themselves in woad provided
    magical protection in battle, you too can now adorn your body in nothing but spiffy
    patterns without having to worry about getting beaten to a bloody pulp.
    
    In its current state, this mod is still an ongoing work-in-progress, but I thought I'd
    toss out what I've completed so far and get some input from the community before
    proceeding any further.

    As far as I can tell, the tattoos work just fine with all races and both genders. This
    mod should also work fine in conjunction with any "Better Skin" mods that replace the 
    the body textures.
    
    Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions! Comments and criticism are,
    of course, welcome as well. :)    


    =( Version 0.5 )=

    Initial release for testing.
    
    
=====================
PLANS/FUTURE UPDATES:
=====================

    - Move Roland Jenius to his own tattoo parlour/residence somewhere else in Cyrodiil.

    - Write unique dialogue, including voiceovers, for Roland Jenius to provide some light 
      background/lore for some added flavour to the mod.
 
    - Tweak tattoo stats and add further tattoo sets, with more variety in stats, colours,
      and designs.  
 	
 	
=============
Installation:
=============

    Simply double-click on the self-extracting archive "Tattoo Armor 0.5 (7-Zip).exe" and 
    extract the contents of the archive into your Oblivion "Data" folder (for example:
    "C:\Program Files\Bethesda Software\Oblivion\Data").

    Then run the Oblivion Launcher and activate "Tattoo Armor 0.5.esp".


=======================
Known Issues/Conflicts:
=======================

    Since this mod adds Roland Jenius to The Best Defense, this mod will probably conflict with
    any other mods that made changes to the store layout.




Enjoy! :)
