Has anyone ever tried to paint/tattoo/use sharpies on Antron? I'm working on a puppet of my Tattoo artist and I'm trying to figure out the best way to tattoo it. I tried shaving it down a little and using sharpies, they work just okay. I'd like to find a nicer solution. Anyone have any ideas?

Staceyrebecca made a tattoo patch that she sewed to the puppet.

I don't have any suggestions but am waiting quietly in the wings to see what's worked for others as I'm planning on giving my current puppet a tattoo.

that's great Na, I was actually thinking after I posted that I might try making them from felt that gluing them on

That's fantastic, Stacey is awesome. I love working with her.

I can't remember exactly, but I think at the time she was tossing up between gluing and sewing. Don't quote me on that though, I am probably wrong.

But I am in awe of the detail of that tattoo. She does fab work

the really cool part is that my tattoo guy has them on his face. So I Want them to look really good

Wow, that was cool, Na!

What about airbrushing?

How about iron on transfer? Not sure if it would work on fleece because of the nape, but I know that what makes a tatoo look real is the faded look. You could get the computer transfer paper and print your own designs.

I actually ended up going to Joanns last night and getting some of the sticky back felt. I tried it out and it seems to be just what I needed! I'll post pics when he's finished.
