Hi Gray-Fox,

Welcome to the forum! Don't worry about language skills. Our members come from all over the world. The language we all speak is Photoshop!

Here's a good tutorial about applying a tattoo which was created by one of the visitors to this forum. Among other things, Lucky13 creates Photoshop movies and PDF tutorials which are hosted on DeviantArt.com. Here is the page which lists all his tutorials. You will find a link to the tattoo in the list.

Welcome to PSG!

The Move tool can be used, but afterwards, you'll need to use the good blending mode. (multiply or others in that group).

Distorting the image slightly might be needed to increase the realism. Liquify is an easy to use tool for that task.

Use a transparent image and blend it using the right blending mode. Use the displace filter to make it look more natural.
Adjust opacity if needed.
