Realistic tattooing on high end silicone.

Post by tattooed dolls »

Hello everyone , back again with some good news, here are some sample images of some tattoo tests I've been doing on a Ruby head I purchased from doll+virgin ,this led to me purchasing an entire doll (rd2) soon after.
The plan is to successfully find a method to tattoo the dolls with out it rubbing off or damaging the doll.
In the very near future I will start repairs on my doll, she is second hand, then after that is done.
I shall start giving my doll her tattoo body suit.
All progress will be shown in photos and I will also go into much more detail on the how to.

Would you like to see the planed drawings of the tattoos before they happen ?
I'm just exited to share some new methods to customize the ladies.

It's difficult to see, but the top lip is already tattooed.

Looks promising. Are you using actual tattooing equipment, high quality airbrushing, or a combination?

It has been all traditional method of tattooing,long tapered needles to minimize trauma to the silicone.
Organic based ink to avoid spreading of sinthetic pigmentation.
(Like the cheap dies that stain dolls)
And finally, a professional machine .
All the ins and outs with it.
I do however plan to do some full body airbrushing on a doll in the future.
I already have some good retailers for silicone airbrush products.
It's just a matter of finding a doll that I can go to town on.(artistic way)
I'm not sure I want to go that far with my Realdoll.

Interesting. Although I think I would have tried on an insert and not a head!
Every day people remind me why I like dolls better.

Yes that would have been great ,if the silicone wasn't so stretchy as I soon found out.
I didn't really wish to experiment on a damage free part, however after a few weeks of lurking the for sale forum , this was the only option since no one wanted to part with their extra or damaged parts to experiment on.
This Ruby took one for the team.

was thinking this might fit your bill for a test bed. She could use some nice tattoo work to cover her scars or incorperate the scars into her designs http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=128&t=64918

I considered a very damaged doll but seems like a waste if I'm going to display it and try to explain why it has so much damage on it and such.
I did consider it, same forum member sold me my RD

Yes, I agree ,hopefully once Laila is completely transformed , people will be open to it a bit more.

My goal is to make her the first SuicideDoll if you will .:)
Thank you for the compliments .

A quick preview of tonight's plan.
My sketch and the basic lay out , to clarify, I will share my findings and learning curves, however, I am a professional artist and have many years of experience , I do not recommend you try this at home with your doll.
Cross your fingers ladies and gents, let's hope this works. :whistle:

*update... Laila went thru some rough patches this month, however she took it like a champ in the first of many tattoos to come , making her the first SuicideDoll ever.

I estimate that it will take me a good six months to get her back to good as new condition, and finish the bodysuit as I go along.

Here is an image of the underboob design, to be completed with roses and such all around , this will go up her sides and down her hips.
I will try my best to keep updating the bodysuit.
I hope you like and enjoy!

This is NOT a transfer, not a sticker either, it's a real tattoo, made in the traditional way, permanent and will not rub off.<br />You saw it here first folks!
