Elaborate Syntax Example

Customizing the text and background characters.

python3 tatuagem.py "L'appel du vide" --font 'unicode-arial.ttf' --backsplash '!' --text '@'

Wallpaper: Pattern-Argument Syntax Example

Using a pattern string for the background.

python3 tatuagem.py "Tatuagem" --pattern '`':,:''

Recurse your project

Apply the generated tattoo to all files in test_tattoo/.

python tatuagem.py "Tatuagem" --pattern '`':,:''  --recurse-path test_tattoo/

Recurse your project with a text file

Apply the contents of tests/aeaea.inc as a header to all files in test_tattoo/.

python3 tatuagem.py --file tests/aeaea.inc --recurse-path test_tattoo/

Features

✓ Shebang detection and preservation - files with #!/... shebangs keep them at the top ✓ Safe for npm projects - tattooed npm projects continue to work after tattooing ✓ Idempotent - Tattoos won't repeat on themselves if run multiple times
