This is as far as I got with my warlock's arms before I wiped them. Wasn't achieving what I had in my head. Wanted some stylised magic swirls. Happier with the redo which I'll post later. #bjdbodyblushing #bjdtattoo #bjdcollector #mydollmoments

Upper arm tattoo line art. I use a mechanical pencil. I don't mind if the end result doesn't look like a real tattoo colouring necessarily. #bjdtattoo #bjdcustomizing

Is it weird that I was proud of these tats and now I'm thinking of what to replace them with? I was gutted when I noticed black smudges from a top. It'll be a while before I get to it, but I'm glad I can let go now. Irial: DOT Code No.2 2013 #dreamofdoll #dreamofdollcode2 #bjd #bjdtattoo

I managed to catch the sun going into that golden place during the shoot. Totally fitting for a Jace cosplay moment. Really showed off the runes well, both active and faded. Cassiel: DOT DH12 2014 #themortalinstruments #shadowhunters #cassandraclare #dreamofdoll #bjd #bjdtattoo #Tamiya

One of the things I love so much about BJDs is the level of customisation. Character homage or original characters. I love that I can have a Jace and Clary moment whenever I want. Cassiel: DOT DH12 2014 #themortalinstruments #shadowhunters #cassandraclare #dreamofdoll #bjd #bjdtattoo #Tamiya
