well, I'm sure some are able but its very difficult to have someone send you their doll and return it on top of the cost of the labor.
but maybe someday .

I believe tattooed dolls said he developed or found a special ink to work with silicone, but he would not tell anybody. He implied regular ink for human use would not work well w/ silicone.
But I see silicone body parts being sold for tattoo training and they mention nothing about a special ink required. Maybe it goes to hell after a week, but it doesn't matter as it's a disposable training aid?

First time I came across this thread.
Some stunning work

I can't imagine the amount of time it took you on some of those.

Not a fan of larger tats like that, but the artwork is nonetheless amazing

Owl looked really good.
Will be keeping an eye on this thread

The ink itself is a tattoo pigment , but no longer sold because of its properties .
I had a ton of it from when it was discontinued a few years ago.
That’s when non plant based ink was made, I am afraid anything plant based or organic ink may Lead to bugs eating at the silicone .
Some ink from a company called “eternal” is amazing but it doesn’t work in dolls for some reason , I wasn’t trying to hide the brand , as I was just trying to protect their brand name , I don’t want ppl to think their products suck, their great for human skin, doll skin is another class of animal.
Much more delicate and non self repairing.
If you go too deep you can cut the silicone like butter.
Needles matter , ink matters , application just like a real human being.
My favorite fact or part is that they don’t feel pain and it makes it much more enjoyable to tattoo them compared to human beings.
No blood , no cross-contamination either .
And you can get touchy-feely with out repercussions from your doll haha.

I know of a doll maker that uses thinned and airbrushed Sil-poxy to seal the makeup on their doll faces. Maybe the same would help on a tatted doll?

That’s a similar idea that I had , I wanted to use dragon skin paint , I may have that wrong , but it’s a transparent layer sealer , however , after so long, even that comes off, more so if it’s not done right away after casting , so I figured it would make it look worse when pealing off.
I may be talking out of arse here tho, I am not an expert in silicone paint nor do I fabricate it.
The idea is solid, the longevity of it is what worries me.
Maybe an expert fabricator or aftermarket repair master could chime in ?

Wow that's amazon! I wich i could do the same on my TPE doll. I did tattoos a few years ago and above average for a beginner, so it's not scarring me at all. But from what I've read on this forum, TPE is a bad material for tattooing.

Keep on your good work!

I would LOVE to Tattoo my "Emotional Support Therapy Dolls" and that's what brought me to this forum. I am a new doll owner and my first doll just arrived today. OMG she is heavy! I would like to personalize her a little more so I've been searching for ways to add a bit of ink to my new toys. I did just run across this post in another forum where someone dyed silicone buttons very well with hair dye, I'd like to know what a few more experienced doll lovers think about this.
Here's the link: https://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/8581 ... t-buttons/

Thank you, and yes sorry to say that I had no success with TPE material and tattoos, at least in the way I apply them.
I hope someone can engineer a method .

I think I might have found a TPE tattoo solution. For TPE tattoos most folks use temporary tattoos. Unfortunately sometimes there are problems with them blending and staying on when the doll flexes. They crack and start to disintegrate. Been testing methods to apply and seal tattoos on TPE in the thread here viewtopic.php?f=229&t=131728. First sample look is on page 5. The image is real, no BS. I got finally got them to seal, blend and flex with the TPE. I will be posting test results with real pics and step by step so anyone can do a decent and long lasting tattoo on TPE. Will be posting it on Friday, 08-28.
Cheers!
