This is an example of what I use to create a tattoo. I adjust to opacity to my liking and distort or transform it some to fit the shape of the location. This Japanese Calligraphy is the symbol for "Strength".
Take this photo of a girl for example:

Then overlay this tattoo:

You get this:

I dropped the opacity about 8%. Depending on which photo editing software you use you might experiment to see what looks "real." to you. I've put on dragons and even eye shadow doing it this way.
