how to use a seam guide when placing tatts on textures?

have just "discovered" seam guides  that ought to help in placing tatts that cross seams however am not sure what to do with it.

the only instructions are these

"Here is a list of seam guides that I have made. Seam guides are blank object templates used to paint textures on 3D models, but my seam guides are color coded and include tips for connecting textures across the divisions ('seams') of the mesh. Remember to convert the GIFs to true-color (like a PSD or a TIF) before you begin painting"

so how would I use something like this to place for example a tatt that is located in the lower back?

thanx for any help

    lol...after loading one of the gif's into GIMP it was all fairly self explanatory ....at least I've figured out how it will assist me in lining up tatts that are split by a seam
