Advice on Tattoo's for TPE dolls

Post by BigBootyJudy »

Hello,

I have a few TPE dolls I would like tattoo. I would like to know the following:

1. What type of tattoo Ink I need for TPE dolls (for permanent tattoo's)
2. Are there any good temporary tattoos for TPE dolls?

I heard that you need specific ink for TPE as regular tattoo ink will not work? Can you please post links if you have TPE dolls specifically tattooed temporary and permanent? Are there any cavets I should be aware of with TPE?

You can use any temporary tattoo on TPE. They apply best when the doll has been cleaned before being powdered. Warmer water works better, it takes some trial and error to learn to apply them correctly. but they hold up well if you keep baby oil away from them.

The tattoo's on Zemeralda are amazing. I'm curious if any tattoo ink will work or if I need to use a specific type.
