Dolls With Tattoos

— October 22, 2008 — Unique
I have only just started seeing dolls with tattoos and while they freak me out a little, they are also REALLY cool. Next I wouldn't be surprised if we begin seeing images of dolls tattooed on people!

The Tattoo Baby Doll Project is a collaboration between Sherri Wood and various female tattoo artists from across the US. The venture combines "embroidery and tattoo as a vehicle to explore the images and roles that define and empower women today." The dolls in this project have their tattoos applied using needlepoint.

Krypt Kids also has a few dolls with tattoos, the designs of which can be customized. These are applied to the dolls using ink or drawn on, which is the most common application for the tattoos on the dolls featured in the gallery above.
Trend Themes
1. Dolls with Tattoos - Opportunity for toy manufacturers to create dolls with customizable tattoos, providing personalization and self-expression for children.
2. Embroidery and Tattoo Fusion - Potential for artists to explore the fusion of embroidery and tattoo techniques, creating unique artwork and designs.
3. Tattoo Culture Infiltration - Emerging trend of tattoos becoming more mainstream, influencing the toy industry to incorporate tattoos into doll designs.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - Disruptive innovation opportunity for toy manufacturers to incorporate tattoos into doll designs, catering to the demand for customized and self-expressive toys.
2. Art and Design - Opportunity for artists to merge embroidery and tattoo techniques, creating innovative artwork and designs that challenge traditional boundaries.
3. Fashion and Beauty - Potential for fashion and beauty industries to collaborate with tattoo artists, exploring tattoo-inspired fashion trends and products.
