It depends on what your interest level in Illustrator is of course. Now, I've opened Tiger tattoo.ai found inside the 29_smart_objects folder. It's that graphic from Miguel. Notice we just have three paths. I have the layer expanded here in the Layers panel and you do that just by clicking on this little twirly triangle there. So, I've just got three paths including this very complicated compound path in the background. So, if I click on this guy right there you can see that it selects a lot of sub paths. So, we have a big flame…
