When creating video content, we often want to change or improve it, sometimes adding or removing something. We may be faced with completely different tasks, for which we do not always have enough time or skills. An interesting effect that can enliven and decorate a video is creating a tattoo effect on the body — a bright and unusual technique in video retouching. Modern technologies make it possible to apply designs to the body and clothing, logos, and labels when creating commercial videos. You can not only create branded content for your product or service but even try on tattoos online on your body to understand whether to decide to bring this idea to life!

Adding a tattoo to a video: how does the technology work?

Until recently, the technology of adding pictures to moving objects was an extremely difficult task, inaccessible to ordinary users. However, today we can use it everywhere to solve our problems, starting from the goal of adding tattoos to video, and ending with applying logos to clothing and products in commercial content. What is the secret of this method, which has opened up new possibilities for us in video retouching?

The difficulty of adding an image to a dynamic frame is that the skin or clothing moves not only in planes relative to other objects in the video. It also stretches, scrolls, and moves in every possible way. If this nuance is not taken into account during retouching, the frame will look unnatural and primitive. So, to add a new element to the frame, the program resorts to a way to find a plane and add an image there. To do this, a map of dots is created on the skin or clothing. In the area selected for the application, the difference in shadows is analyzed. The contrast is maximized in order to see all the details that can be attached to when the skin moves in the frame, as well as when the points (virtual map) move relative to each other. A map of these movements is then created and converted into a flat image. Now we see how a drawing can be placed on the body to make the picture as realistic as possible. At the next stage, the reverse image is added to the skin map, taking into account the curvature, which imitates the curvature of points on the skin relative to each other and is transferred to the dynamics of the video.

The process of adding a picture to a video requires understanding which points are needed to create a virtual map, and which ones will be superfluous and should be removed. Some points may move too much relative to each other, or relative to the image itself, they are cleared from the map manually. This process, even in the hands of a professional editing director, can take up to 2 hours of work. However, in the end, we get the most realistic result, which is definitely worth the effort.

Using the same technology, we can remove unwanted tattoos, company logos, or other designs from videos.

I want to try on a tattoo in the app — which one to choose?

Today there are many applications and programs for video retouching, but not all of them have the function of adding a tattoo or logo to moving objects. And those that do often provide low-quality results that look primitive and artificial. To achieve the most realistic image possible, we recommend using professional video retouching tools, but this may require a lot of time and skill. If you want to get a quick and high-quality result, without spending several hours on video processing, use the services of professional editing directors in the RetouchMe application!
