Recently been experiment with ways to change the look of Rin and Yoko for some photos I have in mind. The obvious ways include changing wigs, eyes, or clothes. But then I started thinking “What would they look like with tattoos?”
So to answer that question I decided to do a few ‘what ifs’ using Rin’s DDII Body.
The first was Riza Hawkeye’s (Full Metal Alchemist) “secret of flame alchemy” tattoo. Though I guess this would be how it appeared before she had parts of it burned to protect her feather’s secret. On a side note, I love the tattoos in FMA. They put a lot of detail into them, like Scar’s arm.
Then I wanted to experiment doing something with angel wings. But I couldn’t find anything I really liked or could work well. So I thought about tribal type tattoos. Found this sweet tribal looking wings with the cross, which made me remember the tattoo Ciel from Tsukihime had on her body. Obviously not the same, but it jogged my memory of her tattoo. Maybe I should look into recreating that tattoo one day.
Was just playing around with the lower back area and probably got it a bit too busy with all the different things going on down there. ^^
I had to throw in a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s tattoo. Here we have Rin with the same dragon mark as the lovely Akiza Izinski. I think Rin would make a good Aki cosplayer. This one is for Kiwara ^o^
This was my final experiment. Wanted to create a tattoo that looked like a dragon emerging from flames. Modified the angelic cross tattoo from earlier because I wanted to incorporate the wings but give the dragon some room.
One thing about doing these mock-ups is that some people thought I actually did some of them for real ^^;;
Afraid my skills with paint are not that impressive. All of these were done in Photoshop. Still on the fence on if I would want to do something permanent like this on an actually DD body. Taste change over time and reverse such a thing would require me getting new option parts or time consuming paint removal processes.
If I decide to do any serious photo shoots that feature tattoos, they will probably be added in post processing. But that won’t happen any time soon. Want to experiment more with various things like angles (perspective) and blending them better into the image. Also need to try them on a DDdy body, as these were all done on a DDII body.
Loading ...If you got any ideas of cool designs, post in the comments. I plan on posting more of these in the future and would love to see some awesome design ideas.
Interesting idea. Perhaps it could be down with wet transfer decals or something like that? I don’t own a dollfie so perhaps this could get me thrown in the fire, but I say do it for real. It’d be unique as far as I know. Might as well go all the way. Nice designs btw ^^
i don’t know if i would do it permanently but it is cool to look at
