Tattooed Kewpie.

Another thing I do is collect vinyl 1970's kewpies. I had one as a kid and decided to collect them when I saw some for sale on ebay. I decided to decorate some one of them, one I decided to give some tattoos, its a bit of a work in progress because I'm going to cover it from the neck to ankle , but having a hard time getting the time and ideas for designs. I'm going to do another one as a gothic horror kewpie, again I'm thinking of ideas for that. Some would say it's sacrilage to deface these 1970's vintage kewpies but to be honest I'm not sure why they sell for so much, I regularly shell out 10-12 quid for them but they are not rare, any day of the week you can lay your hands on at least 3 of them, they were absolutely mass produced in the 70's in china and hong kong. I want my collection to be a bit different so I'm gradually going to turn a lot of them into art dolls. One or two I will keep as they are because they are good ones , but a lot are bog standard.
