Teddy Babe tattoos?
So now I'm ordering a Deluxe Jessica this week and hope to spend many years snuggling together.
I didn't have the heart to just throw out the ruined plush companion and I figured my new friend would want to be there to see Melissa off on her final voyage with dignity. That, and I figured this would be a good chance to test out a couple of mods I had been considering, without risking permanent damage to a good teddy babe.
One thing that I'd been considering is tattoos or some other kind of coloration to the Teddy Babe's plush skin. Crazy I know, but I think a lower back tattoo or partial sleeve would look kinda interesting. Or maybe some subtle tanlines? But I honestly don't know what to use, or how to go about it applying it. Is there a technique I should use? A type of paint or dye that is preferable? I saw a nipple mod on here using drybrushed acrylic paint, but I don't know how well that would hold up or affect her skin over a larger surface. Nor if I would have to worry about it coming off or roughing up her softness. Then I thought about using some sort of fabric dye. Super diluted and dried with heat right away might work, but I'm wary of that as well. I'd rather not have to worry about having her rubbing off on the furniture, or even me. Just trying to explain to my coworkers in the morning why I have a spotty partial tattoo-like stain on my hands/arm/face... no thankyou.
Has anyone else tried something like a teddy babe tattoo and would be willing to lend some advice?

Re: Teddy Babe tattoos?
Sorry to hear about Melissa Is it not a case of of giving her a good soak and deep wash in the bath?
As for tattoos, I know of at least one mighty fine tattooed teddy babe, but this was hand-stitched with thread.
I think it was one of the guys on the UK love forum who did this, but I can't find a link - either on here on on uk love doll forum
Hand-stitching with thread might be more time-consuming if you wanted a larger piece, but that's the way forward for permanent teddy babe ink.

The tattooed Teddy Babe that Cosycattage is referring to, is Fenrisulfr's Juliet.

I think may just hold off for now... wait and see what my new gal has in mind when she gets here.
Re: Teddy Babe tattoos?
...mentions using iron-ons as tattoos, either sewn or glued on.
Unfortunately most of the pics are broken, but a couple remain:

Re: Teddy Babe tattoos?
I think my original search of the forum only went back 3 years, so I must have missed this post.
I'll have to find a nice iron one patch and give it a shot. Well, WE'LL have to find one, once my new friend arrives.
Now if only FedEx would hurry up. My poor TBD was supposed to be here days ago, and the tracking info shows it hasn't moved in 5 days... I held out hope for the original delivery date last week, but on that day they removed the estimated delivery and haven't added a new estimate yet.
