IMPL dolls Star, Model and Idol Discussion thread Part 11

Mar 2, 2018

    1. @Anita2006 yep, I'm in the Midlands - between Leicester and Birmingham - furthest north I've been is the very edge of Glasgow :) you're de-fanging John? Hope you'll share pics when he's finished.

      @Iron_Dog for some reason I always picture tarantulas as spikey like a cactus - you don't realise you've been prickled until something hurts and you find a tiny spike in your skin! I don't mind spiders - even felt bad for the one my Australian friend squished!
       
    2. Just fyi, I asked on their FB page and they said the website server is being updated. So hopefully it will be back up in a day or two.

      Also, yay for tarantulas! They're such cool little animals!
       
    3. @rubydoll yes i will shear pictures of human version of John :-) hope so it will work. i will do reference picture for how i would like to make him i think so it will be funny :-)
      Im living far to north :-) Aberdeen :-)
       
    4. Randomly comes back to check, people are fanning tarantulas
      --
      has pet tarantulas
      --
      just had to clean up one's moult and can't do anything with it because it went stiff. (Big sigh) Spider parenting problems!

      So, I'm still trying to find a hybrid for my Delia head, who is somewhere in between Germany and North America. It me fras me. I'm getting silly and want to try a resin soul hybrid for her, though I suspect she'll look spindly.
       
    5. I have very nice azalea head little bit darker as impldoll normal skin, will put some photo tommorow as without flash photos looks difirent as with it. still dont know what body to order her as i want to try mirodoll body 62 cm :-) i think so resinsoul is very skiny bodys but it could be interesting to see yours hybrid :-)
       
    6. I agree that Resinsoul might be too skinny proportionwise. However, I'm shelling an undead character so maybe it'll work? I'd really prefer a Starwoman body but I want something with really good posing/mobility.
       
    7. I LOVE IT. :hug: Tarantulas are so cute and interesting; I genuinely adore them.

      ...........

      Kinda wish I had a cute fuzzy pet to cheer me up, at the moment. It's been a weird (and largely bad) day. I feel... not good. I have a terrible urge to get drunk, even though I know that will make me feel even worse. Ugh.

      Aaaand I totally need to stop going off topic every single post. I should probably give myself a stern lecture. :sweat

    8. LOL, @A Wee Tiefling that's awesome! I love animals, but with my kids almost out of the house (or at least grown up) I don't want any more pets so I can travel. I never thought I would say that, but the responsibility is like having children, and I want to experience freedom :D Still, "to all the (pets) I've loved before" (Willie Nelson) I have had some wonderful pets, and still have some wonderful pets :)

      Anyways, I have a need to SQUEE!!! My Nicolas's body came, and although my blush doesn't match 100%, he is so AWESOME! I mean, he's easy for me to move and pose, and I love everything about him.... except his claw hands, LOL. I need to get him jointed hands, but I understand from you all that the Impldoll jointed hands are a bit small on the idol bodies, so I would rather get other hands and blush to match. Any suggestions on who has the biggest male jointed hands?

      I also got my eyes, but they weren't small iris :( I need to contact them about it.

      And WOW! Have any of you tried the website? It's lightening fast!

    9. Congrats, @IngieBee! I'm so happy for you! As for jointed hands... Doll Legend makes some really nice ones. I have this pair, and they are quite large. Also, the normal pink skin matches IMPL's pink skin very well (both super pale!). So, that's one suggestion? Others will probably have better ones, I'm sure.

      .........

      *typing one-handed* Oh my GOD. I think I broke something in my left hand?? It's swollen, hurts like hell, bruised looking, and hot to the touch. Oops? Whatever. I've been drinking, so I don't really care all that much at the moment, but tomorrow morning is probably going to suck. I've already had a terrible day, did I really need this on top of it?! My luck. My s**t luck. ROFL. *implodes*
       
    10. @A Wee Tiefling im looking as well some good posing body, i saw mirodoll bodys is good on posing when you restring them and sueding with glue gun :-) i think i will try. but this moment first is to make john head more look like human :-) send him to my face up artist (local ones).
       
    11. @Anita2006 is it any cooler up there?? True, the nice dry weather meant I could go outside to spray for faceups but it's so hot I don't feel like doing anything! And too much sun gives me a migraine.

      @A Wee Tiefling I've got a Little Rebel Svein head on a Resinsoul body temporarily - I didn't consider it a good fit initially but now he's been sitting on it a while he does look skinny and underfed so if that's the look you're going for it might work. Although your mileage may vary with a female body.

      @IngieBee Yay for the body! Are you planning to blush it? A slight mismatch is easy to fix. Bummer about the eyes though so I hope they can sort it out - third time lucky? And I totally agree about pets being a big responsibility. My friends recently got a puppy and I had to bite my tongue so I didn't voice my disapproval as they're still doing up their house, both work full time...

      @Mekkisry have you tried keeping a grumble book? Whenever I'm having a bad day and don't want to bother my friends with my troubles because I'd like to keep them, or I think I'm overreacting, or it's stupid o'clock or whatever I just rant away in the notebook I bought for that express purpose. It says "change your thoughts and you change your world" on the cover which is sometimes a helpful reminder. The only downside is sometimes I read back through it and am reminded of things I was annoyed about but had since forgotten but there's also instances where I was stressed out but things turned out okay so the next time I'm stressed about something trivial I can maybe put it in perspective. For things I really don't want in my head, I write it down and burn it which can be cathartic, even if sometimes it's because you're distracted by the fact you almost burned the house down. Do it in the bathroom. Conversely, writing down things you're grateful for can help too. That can be hard when you're feeling particularly narked off because any positive can sound sarcastic. I've found simple games good for just taking my mind off things. They don't solve the problem but sometimes you just need to not dwell on stuff. Fishdom is great - your fish are excited to see you and if you fail on a level they will tell you to never give up.

      My April Story body for Iris should arrive today! It's possibly too much to ask that it arrive before I go to work, especially as I do have other things I need to do this morning. But I am over the worst of it and there's just a few things to do before I can take a break from adulting XD

    12. Sorry, I got no notification that there was activity here!!! Thank you for the congrats :).

      @Mekkisry , thank you, those hands sound perfect! Oh gosh, glad you are too intoxicated to feel your hand much, LOL. I did something like that with my foot about a month ago. I stretched, something popped, it swoll up, and eventually got bruised looking. Sucks! Hope it's OK in the morning!

      @rubydoll , hot? In GB? It was 41 or 106 depending on if you do celcius or ferinheight, here today! And that's because it's been cooling off a bit. We've already hit 47 / 117 a couple of weeks ago! I hate summer!!! BTW, my miss match is because I got a white Nicolas head accidentally, fell in love, but didn't want a white, as in paper white doll. So I tried doing a faceup in the dark. I think he's so cute, I haven't redone it yet :whee: I will eventually *_*

      OMG, your anidotes are so funny, and yet such good ideas! I'm going to try that (a rant book). Hey, I just bought two April Story bodies off the marketplace! They are very different from each other. One is the latest female body, the other is the old classy? Version. I put my argonautica head on, and the other got an old CP/Luts Lishe I also got in the marketplace. So all off topic, but you know, great minds..... LOL
       
    13. @rubydoll yes,i could say its hot, everybody tells its best summer in 12 years in Aberdeen and around :-) so we can get sunburn now :-D :-D :-D looks like its possible even in Scotland :-)
       
    14. We had some disgusting humidex here in Canada at the beginning of July. We had that 47C crap going on for like a week solid. Still have a humidex now although not as hideous. But, it's only slightly after 7am right now and the humidex is already at 30C.
       
    15. Okay, so that was pretty cool. I worked with the person who answers their FB messenger, who was very helpful. I let them know I wanted a custom color, and they sent me a whole page of color swatches to choose from. Here's hoping it turns out!

      I ordered an Elf Azalea on the Star Female Muscle Body, in a light purple resin. :cheer

    16. I love purple resin so much! I have a Dark purple Angell Studio girl and I want a lighter purple too. Please post lots of pics once you get her!!
       
    17. @Iron_Dog , oh yes, I heard there are places in Canada that can get amazingly hot! I guess there are no obstructions from the Gulf of Mexico all the way up (no mountains) And the high pressure pushes all the way up! Amazing!

      @mosaicwolf, that's really cool. We're they pictures or actual swatches?

      I got another unexpected head, a grey Lydia, and I am turning her, if I can screw up my courage, into a Wow Night Elf, but purple would have been better :D

    18. Canada, weather-wise, is a totally mystery grab bag at any given moment. Where I am in southern Ontario, we were having record heat/humidity in the high 40'sC. Out on the east coast in P.E.I., they got snow (and not a light dusting either). When I was growing up in northern Ontario, I can remember us having a high of 25C the first week of June. The next day, it was -10C and we got 2 feet of snow. I've been outside in -60C weather. I've taken my kid out trick or treating in the middle of a snow storm (he made out like a bandit!) and there was already at least 2 feet of snow on the ground before the storm. It's snowed mid-September (and stayed for the winter). It's gone from -25C as the high in December to +15C in 24 hours (and then gone back down to -25C literally overnight). Out in the Prairies, they get schnooks, which are basically hot winds in the middle of winter that jacks the temperature from -20C to +20C in a matter of hours. In BC, if you're on the island, half the island can be getting hammed with snow while the other half gets nothing. And it rains. A LOT.
       
    19. WOW! I missed a TON! @Anita2006, I may have to do the reverse- not sure I have a head that needs matching to the body as much as I have a body that needs matching to a head. But I will try to get to that tutorial for you! It's scarier than it sounds. Do you have pastels already?

      @mosaicwolf, congrats!! OMJ she will be soooo gorgeous!

      @IngieBee , CONGRATS on the Nic body!! PICS!!!!!! I find that DZ hands work well with the Idol bulk. They're pretty big. I should have pics of that too. Ah, here:
      [​IMG]
      (Edit: I looked at the Doll Legend hands... they're prettier. *L* The Idol is the first body I have found the DZ hands look good on, though. I say go with what you can afford.)

      @rubydoll, yay!!! Iris with her own April Story body! Can't wait to see! Congrats!!!
       
    20. Thank you @mosaicwolf , I've grabbed the link in my book marks :D That can seriously be handy!!!

      @Iron_Dog my husband has spent time in Montana and Wyoming and said it's similar?? I don't know HOW similar, LOL, but the weather can turn on a dime too :) I have over 50 years in the desert, I could never live where it rains too much. I am afraid of snow, especially with my knees and how slippery it is, but never the rain!!! My daughter just moved up north to go to school, on the coast, where it's foggy. She keeps texting me "It's 70 degrees high today" and I tell her she is the cruelest person I know!!! LOL 113 here today :(

      Ah, thank you @chalyss, DZ hands! Cool! I need to go order!
       
    21. This heat wave is utterly wretched. I don't have AC and I've given up on my dolls. They're probably going to be banana yellow by December. (No I can't afford AC, no I don't have a safer place to store them. Yes I am aware that heat damages resin.)
      So I have decided I like the aesthetic of the Doll Family A 60cm female body II. I don't know if it's hybridable with my Delia, but I'd like to try.
       
    22. @rubydoll: That is actually a really interesting idea. I used to keep journals and such in the past, but my handwriting is so atrocious I often have trouble reading what I wrote, when I come back to it. :sweat But, I guess it doesn't really matter in this case, since it's just a way to get out thoughts and such. I tend to get caught up in my own head far too easily, and I'm definitely prone to a lot of self-doubt. I feel like that's a huge character flaw, and I wish I could somehow stop feeling the way I do about myself. *sigh*

      @IngieBee: No problem. :) I really do like those particular jointed hands, they're quite lovely. About my hand... yeah, I really have no idea what's wrong with it. LOL. It looks absolutely AWFUL, it's all bruised and swollen. There's a weird sort of grinding sensation if I move it in a certain way. I'm basically trying to just ignore it, since I'm the sort of person who avoids going to the doctor unless it's absolutely CRUCIAL. Like, if I was legitimately bleeding out, yeah, I guess that would require a trip to the hospital. *snort* This doesn't seem important (and I'd probably get laughed at anyway for going in there all "my hand hurts!!"), so... ignoring. Yup.
       
    23. @chalyss yes i have pastels soft chalk ones 64 colours pallet :-) oh, thats great, cant wait yours tutorial. It will be really helpfull for me, i want to try something new on my own :-)
       
    24. It's been a while again. I have a question that someone in this thread might be able to answer. I know I've said I have never seen myself owning one of the buff bodies but ... things change. I've been looking at their new 65cm male body, not the old slender one, and I'm thinking it's kind of perfect for a character I am working on. However, they don't seem to have a lot of male heads for that body. Has anyone tried one of their male Idol heads on the 65cm body? I just don't have anymore room for another 70cm doll so will have to go with the 65cm which fits the character anyway. Are the male Idol heads huge for the 65cm body?
       
    25. @A Wee Tiefling, I'm not so sure a hot house will do that to resin...? It doesn't make sense to me? UV light makes more sense, but I am probably wrong, LOL. I wish I knew the answer for your Delia, but I think it has more to do with shoulder width than height?? Also, I do think my Narissa's head is smaller than my Lydia heads, so... I don't know how big Delia's head is???

      Oh, @Mekkisry! Honestly, you should try and find a doc that doesn't bother you too much and get check ups! Take care of yourself so you can take care of those you love! Sure, it might not be an issue for the emergency room, but it could be a sign of something you need to know about! Um... But I didn't go to the doc for my foot either :doh

      @shirahime, I have a Dylan head and bought him the 65 star body, but it's not here yet. I sure hope it will look good!! The necks are only 1/2 cm different, so I think it should be fine (fingers crossed). I hope it'll show up soon!
       
    26. @Mekkisry, do you happen to have a picture of doll legend bjd hands on an Impl idol body? I love the idea of matching resin, but those dollzone hands look perfectly proportioned on @chalyss 's doll :)
       
    27. My hunk a chunk a resin in the messiest part of the back yard in hopes of it looking like he's an adventurer in the wilderness, LOL. In fact, the whole yard is a mess! But he is beautiful. If I had a pair of high boots, those might actually work as riding pants??? What are they you ask? American Girl riding pants, ROFL.

    28. @IngieBee lol 75% of conversation in the UK is grumbling about the weather and the internet is ruining it! "so much snow, everything is chaos" "meanwhile in Canada..." "it's far too hot!" "30 degrees? Oh that's a bit nippy!" "okay what about this one time we had a storm and there were hailstones the size of golf balls, honestly we thought Flash Gordon had 14 hours to save the earth!" "oh yeah those storms are a pain - golf balls you say? How cute." I'm not used to heat. Normally summer is a fortnight of sunshine in April then it proceeds to be so wet you need a jacket but too hot to comfortably wear one.

      Ah yes, I remember your Nicolas now. A small adjustment should be do able right? :)
      Oh, a picture! He looks fab! Very adventurous! And the colour match isn't too far off - often a faceup creates a bit of a difference so it just looks like that.

      @Anita2006 haha, yeah don't get used to this weather! It's not usually like this! Is this your first summer in Scotland?

      @Iron_Dog heh your description of your actual weather sounds like what you'd think the weather was like here if you listened to a local, heatwave aside!

      @chalyss your wish is my command!

      [​IMG]Heilan and Sereniel by Rubydoll Chaos, on Flickr

      I didn't have much time yesterday, or today, so all I managed was a couple of crappy shots. The April Story body is rather taller than I wanted - the measurements on their site say she's 60cm tall so I thought that after the fire they'd remade the body shorter but apparently not. She's an okay height with Heilan but she dwarfs her poor lady's maid (Aigne on the Model body). I'm thinking I might give her thigh joints and see if I can shorten her legs a bit. I like the sculpt, it's very womanly but I do not trust her to stand. The colour match is awful but that was expected. She's gonna need some work but I'm happy so far.

      @Mekkisry you should see my handwriting! But you're exactly right, you don't need to reread what you've written, it's just about the process of getting it out of your head. I used to be incredibly critical of myself - just like it feels so good to scratch an itch even though you're damaging your skin I would mentally beat myself up about how fat and ugly I am or whatever other stick I'd chosen that day. You can't necessarily change how you feel but you can control which thoughts you feed. Answer the negative voice in your head with "so what?" and distract yourself. I put a sticker reading "I like me" on my mirror - it's actually a RvB quote but reading it would make me smile and I would not think about my reflection. Feeling better about yourself isn't necessarily about jumping straight to self-love. That's too big a step. It starts with addressing negative thoughts, acknowledging them and dismissing them as of no use to you. Your hand doesn't sound good, if it's no better you ought to get it checked out. Doctors deal with far more trivial things every day. Or so I expect - have to admit I'm totally the sort to google my symptoms rather than see an actual doctor!

      @shirahime I have the new Star body - got it originally for Martin but he ultimately got a different body. Dylan is on it now and I think he looks pretty good - that's him in the picture. Martin has a long narrow face and a big head so honestly I think he looks better with a more slender body but Dylan with his squarer jaw works better. So depending on which head you want it may work.
       
    29. @rubydoll who's the boy? I just got that same AS body, mine is loosey goosey! and she doesn't like standing either, LOL. Yah, the face match is close enough that I don't want to bother for a while, I adore him as he is. Now I have to style his hair!
       
    30. Depends on the head. I asked @fishcake to put her Plaice head on a SID/Starman body and it looked pretty good to me! Some of the Idol heads can take it and some can't. Chad's could probably take it. He looked decent on a Miro 60 buff body (still allowed on DOA) so he should rock a Starman bod. Which head were you thinking to use?

      @IngieBee, he looks GREAT!!! Even in AG pants! (And good to know they might actually work!). Oh easy peasy to match the body to the head. Just brush on some higher-tone flesh pastels. I matched Mal's whole body to his head and yours wouldn't be as work-intensive, I think.

      His body was super white:
      Backdrop tests

      You can see the original white under his ribs here:
      Playtime

      @rubydoll, yay!! She rocks it!! (GAWD I love your Dylan!) HUNK! Yeah the AS girl bodies seem more 62cm to me and with heeled feet, about 64cm. You will have work ahead of you to match the head to the body, but again it can be done. Lots of yellow pastel. *L*

      Original color:
      Angelheim female body
      Blushed color:
      Angelheim female body

      color difference:
      Xevandra
      Finished match though I got lazy on her arms:
      Done!

      Use the original color as a high light and don't do too much on the joints, if at all. They'll just scrape off as soon as you move her. (Though you can try brushing them with minwax water soluble lacquer, then spraying with a matte sealant. That would keep it forever.)
       
    31. @IngieBee Your boy looks great. What sculpt is that one? I'd love to see how your Dylan looks when you get him.

      Thanks @rubydoll for that photo. Dylan does look pretty good on that body. Ack, shame he isn't one of the heads I was looking at but the proportions look great. If only Impldoll would release more 65cm male heads that weren't sold out. I noticed their Nelson was on that body but he's been long sold out sadly.

      @chalyss There are a few heads I was tossing up; Martin, Tony and Tank. Marcus is nice too but he's sold out and Nelson was actually on the 65cm body but he's also sold out. Although after @rubydoll 's comment about the Martin head, maybe not that one although I just love the cheek bones on him. He was my first choice out of the heads. Failing all of that, I was considering maybe a Granado head on the body but having trouble finding photos of that hybrid as well.
       
    32. Tony is a big head... so is martin. Tank Miiiiiiight work but his head is a bit big for the DZ old 70cm body (though I have mine on one) and Granado heads would work well on it. I have a SID body, not a Starman one, and they're similar but not exact. I would suggest looking through @fishcake's pics on her blog. DollsArtCats

      Fish has Granado heads and a Starman body, she might be able to show you.
      DollsArtCats: An Impldoll New Star Male Body and an Iplehouse SID body

      If you want heads on a SID, let me know.
       
    33. @chalyss Thanks for the links. I will go and have a look at that blog. I haven't been having much luck lately with any of my doll ideas and plans.
       
    34. OH that's Dylan in rubydoll's photo! LOL, is that the Star body? That's what I got for my Dylan and I hope he'll look good on it!!!

      @chalyss you did a great job on that body, but a lot of work, eh? Problem with matching the body to the head is that it's easier to wear out the finish on the body than the head, which is easier to take care of :huh?:

      Hummmm I think I'm falling for Tank...... but I think I need Plaice first:doh

      Seriously though, have any of you noticed the new speedy website? It loads in the blink of an eye now!

    35. @IngieBee: I do actually get checkups (when I'm forced into it); I had full blood work done about 3 months ago. I am, thankfully, healthy. Well, aside from drinking far too much, but I'm perfectly aware of that. LOL. I just really don't want to go for what I feel are the 'small things', I guess? My hand still looks disgusting, but it doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Amusingly enough, the cashier at Target earlier today actually asked me if I was okay, because she saw my hand. It LOOKS bad. But, my fingers aren't numb, I can move it around okay (mostly), so I figure it'll just heal on its own. Probably. :sweat Oh, unfortunately, I still don't have an Idol body. I'm definitely planning to get one, but I'm waiting to see if there might be some upcoming events/sales. Sorry I can't help out with the proportions! Also, OH MY GOODNESS, your Nicolas is beautiful!!!! Congrats! It's so lovely seeing him all together! Such a gorgeous fellow. <3

      @rubydoll: It's funny, I'll go long periods of time (months) not giving a crap. Then, occasionally, all of my insecurities hit me like a ton of bricks and I end up spiraling down to the point where I end up drunkenly calling depression hotlines at 2:00 in the morning, because I can't sleep and I can't stand being stuck in my own head anymore. I'm kind of an extreme introvert. I don't make friends easily, and I spend a LOT of time by myself. I'm generally okay with that, but sometimes I wish things were different. I wish I didn't feel like such an ugly old hag. I wish it were easy for me to socialize. But, wishing doesn't make anything come true, so I just deal. *shrug* My hand is okay. It might just be really terrible bruising (it certainly looks awful, LOL), so I won't worry about it for now. I appreciate your concern, though. :hug:

      ...........

      (Okay, what I said above is probably TMI. Sorry about that. Don't mind me, just rambling. As usual? :XD:)

      I'm having a debate with myself, at the moment. Do I want to buy doll stuff, or do I want to get tattooed? Hmm. I want both, to be honest. Tattoo might win (it's an urge, really). Dangit, self!
       
    36. Yah, @Mekkisry you probably popped a blood vessel (blah! LOL) But are probably OK :D Thank you about my Nicolas, I really love holding him and posing him, @chalyss was right, I believe, this 1st gen body is awesome. The lower joint isn't slippery (at least not on my boy) it works, but is stable and he moves so fluidly! I love him! ... what tattoo are you wanting? and where? I'm curious? I was just thinking Nicolas needs one.... but I'm no artist :(

    37. @IngieBee: You know, that might be it! I've done that before, but never on this level. It's honestly kind of fascinating, how bad it looks. :lol: I keep staring at it and thinking "Wow, that's nasty...." but I'm weirdly fascinated by such things. However bizarre that sounds. LOL. You're very welcome! That's good to know, about the body you chose. It's really lovely! I've not been impressed by most hip joints. As you said, they are very slippery and it gets irritating after a bit. Even with sueding, some of them still 'pop' way too easily. *grumpy face*

      As for tattoos... oh gosh, I'd probably have my whole body tattooed if I could afford it. At the moment, I'm really wanting a Skyrim tattoo. The "Gol Hah Dov" shout, in rune form (you can see it under the picture on the right of the page, though it's pretty small). I'm thinking down the back of my left forearm. It's a good placement for that, though I know (from having my right forearm tattooed) that there's some sort of nerve running down that part of the arm, and trying NOT to twitch while the artist is working is pretty much impossible. Of course, I'm a small lady, and my artist is a very tall/stocky guy, so I think he was really just muscling my arm into submission. Ha! ....As for tattoos on your Nicolas: decals!!!! I'm probably the worst 'artist' on the entire planet, but even I didn't screw up doing basic water-transfer decals. Something to think about? ;)
       
    38. LOL, my youngest is so crazy about skyrim! Turns out her violin teacher played on the sound track as well! We have to do a lot of driving together, and she played the sound track forever (currently we're binging on Hamilton and Dear Evan Hanson) but Skyrim and Tobby Fox's Undertale. She's my personal DJ :D RE: Decals, yes, was it you who posted those decals on amazon? Gotta try those! Maybe I can color them in afterwards???
       
    39. The temp tattoos are really awesome and I think they've come quite a long way in quality since they first appeared on the scene for kids. If you're looking for something specific design-wise, there's a place online that will either make a temp tattoo based on what you provide them or will have one of their artists work with you to draw it if you can't draw it yourself. These tattoos look super real, too, so you can use them as a test for yourself to see if you like it or not before getting the real deal. These are more expensive than the ones you'd pick up in Ardene/Icing/Dollar Store but if you wanted something very specific it would also be worlds cheaper than sending out your doll to a face-up artist.The name of the company escapes me right now (of course) and I can't find the email with the info *grrrrr*.

      Quite a number of my guys have tattoos done this way. A long as you take your time doing it, it's easy. Some people suggest spraying with sealant first to reduce staining possibilities, but I've never done that and haven't had a problem *knocks on wood*. I do seal them after though with a couple of light coats of Mod Podge to prevent easy chipping/scratching of the tattoo from clothing or basic handling. Removal is dead easy with just warm water, a wash cloth and a tiny bit of elbow grease.
       
    40. Im coming out of lurking purely because you mentioned Dear Evan Hansen and I love that musical so much! I’m seeing it in 2019 with my dad and my girlfriend.

      Also: does anyone know how an idol head (Hannah) would look on a supergem body (ideally nephelin?)
