Toggle Tattoo Status (Preview)
I suppose I'm not the only one annoyed by the fact that we can't just draw something on a sim and mark it as not having a tattoo. This is a helpful tool, but I don't want the game to interpret all sims as having tattoos.
If this bothers you too, this mod will help. It's pretty simple: by default, all sims are perceived without tattoos, including those created in CAS and downloaded from the Gallery. To toggle the status, press Shift + click on sims with TestingCheats enabled to find the option 'Toggle Tattoo Status: On / Off':
You can immediately toggle the status of not only the active sim, but any other sim as well.
However! Keep in mind that a sim is considered to have a tattoo if you toggle the status and actually add the tattoo.
Therefore, the special tattoo interactions and attraction system will only be active for sims with tattoos and the "On Status" setting.
The only time the tattoo status toggles automatically is when using the tattoo table for adding or removing tattoos. That's the gameplay object designed specifically for tattooing ;D
You can also use the cheat on the mailbox to batch toggle the status from On to Off:

Business and Hobbies naturally
CONFLICTS
None until another mod injects the test for tattooing_data in the script (but I guess this mod would do the same feature)

F.A.Q.
No interactions?
You didn't install the Lot51 Core Library or did it incorrectly
You didn't enable the testingcheats or didn't shift + click on the sim
The sim is perceived as not having the tattoos?
Their tattoo status is off
You didn't actually add the tattoos
The status was automatically toggled?
You used the tattooing table to add or remove the tattoos (the 'Off Status' will be in case you removed all tattoos)
No batch remove cheat on the mailbox?
You didn't install the Lot51 Core Library or did it incorrectly
You didn't enable the testingcheats or didn't shift + click on the sim
There are no sims with 'On Status'
Nothing changes?
You didn't install the script correctly. Put it no deeper than one subfolder
You have a mod with the same script behavior (probably it would do the same behavior). But I don't know such mods
INSTALLATION
Unzip the archive no deeper than one subfolder

This is soooo useful thank you!!! I was losing my mind at the constant "Show off tattoos" interaction when my Sims canonically didn't even have any, but some skin detail is placed as a tattoo
Actually you know what? This is amazing for a semi-related reason I didn't even think about. I still have some things that I modified as tattoos that aren't meant to BE tattoos (overlays and the like) and I've been in a CAS-mood but being conflicted cos they'd be marked as having tattoos in terms of the turn ons/off and all that jazz. This'll be super helpful :)
Yeah that's the same reason why I created this mod ☺️ Hope you love it
