    Hi
    I have this image here of a tattoo, i am having but its not the correct size,and not the correct state so i can take it to the tattooist
    what i need is it enlarging,but not by much, i 's say it need to be about 30mm wider and taller if that makes any sense
    and if someone knows how to do it, i need just the outline aswell

    If some could email me,either via PM, or host it somehwere that'd be greaat. I have tried using microsft paint,and cant seem to do it right, and i dont want to get any more software

    many thanks if someone can have a bash

    or if some one could tell me how to do it paint,as for the life of me i have tried,but cant do it without it looking fuked up as everytime i print it off,it comes out the same size even after enlarging it

    You can re-size using the likes of IrfanView or PhotoFiltre (both freeware).

    http://www.afterdawn.com/software/desktop_software/graphics/irfanview.cfm

    P.S if you must use Paint:
    # Click the 'Image' Menu at the top and select "Stretch/Skew Image"
    # Choose a percentage figure to resize the image: to avoid distortion, choose the same percentage for horizontal and vertical stretch

    Looks good...I just hope PETA does not force them to change the mascot, thus voiding your tattoo. Right now I have a Cradle of Filth tattoo that is "obsolite" because they stopped using that particular logo...but that's not as bad as if the logo was changed or replaced.
