Some people look little & cute, but inside they're ferocious. A touch of ink can help bring the inside outside. ;-)Acrylic on found doll, with bead & pin for belly-button piercing, about 3½" tall.
p.s. Anyone recognize this doll? My sister found it on the street & kindly gave it to me, knowing I'd do something odd with it. If it's yours, I apologize.

Love this! Inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThis is FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteyes, very modern. It is hot. Love the contrast between sweet, innocent doll and rough tattoo/piercing stuff . I think on the back is : NO FEAR!
ReplyDeleteThanks, all! Actually there is a dragon tail on the back. :-) But clearly she has no fear... of the needle, at least!
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of tattooing, but this is a brilliant idea. I think you're onto something here. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteYou are too cool, Leah! Hey, maybe I should plant some of my old stuff near your house...who knows, you might make something crazy with them! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks again, folks! Amalia, my husband accuses me of saving every odd thing I see, with the notion it will someday become "art"-- so if you ever happen by, do feel free to contribute to the stash! :-D
ReplyDeleteHaha I laughed, then I thought, what if it was my doll... and then I cried. I like your work, you have a good brain, even if you did draw tatts on a little girl's doll :)
ReplyDeletehehehehe :)
No!! Really?? Did you?? hehehe... love this doll!! (no, not mine, I do not recognize it... but I wish I could now claim it to be mine, as I think the tatooing job you did on her is amazing. I want to claim it!! hehehe Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteAndrew, so sorry to have caused you tears! I must confess I had some real misgivings... I've actually had that doll for over a year... couldn't quite bring myself to mess with her. But then I guess my evil side finally won, ha!
ReplyDeleteIsabelle, if the original owner ever sees this, I hope she feels the same!
