Tattooing Inflatababes

So can anyone give me topic threads to go see please . I suppose transfer tattoos would work. But will come off when cleaning. Any ink, felt pens which will stay without smearing or damaging the vinyl
On an end note, I was painting the nails on my doll the other day, and dripped a few drops of quick dry red varnish on her thigh. I let it dry so I could scrape it off, and found out that it takes some doing. So maybe I could make a stencil, and use different colour varnish with maybe a clear top coat to stop it smudging when washing her.
From what I can see the varnish has done no harm to the vinyl, not even made it brittle.
Comments please, possibly from experience.
Is nail varish supposed to be bad for vinyl?

My only concern is how large a tattoo you would like to use the varnish on. As it was not made to be applied on flexible vinyl it may have a cracked appearance over time, or it could be fine.

I also use temporary tattoos on my dolls, but I think I will try something like this which can be cut as close to the design as possible and it is also vinyl so it will not rub off so quickly. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202244242514

But I think for a larger or more elaborate design I think a temporary tattoo may be the only option.

Someone else might have a suggestion.

Howdy

Would not those faux tattoo sleeves work for this purpose as well

Seem to remember they were a real easy to use simply pull them up on your sleeve were made of Lycra or some other very stretchy material - that would take your shape - yet could be pulled off at the end of the night

My only concern with something like this is the dies they use to make the material and the tattoo rubbing off or transfering to the inflatable dolls skin leaving a stain

Not sure what something like this costs - but it would probably be an easier to use option and is removeable for use on another inflatable

Stay inflated
