Behind the scenes with PAPERSELF shooting their new Tattoo collection from the PAPERSELF Tattoo Me range. Tattoos are a beautiful mix of floral, art deco and Aztec, with a myraid of combinations for bespoke bodyart. I cut and customised some of the designs- they are super versatile!
Character realisation:Nostalgia & photo memory
Roles:
Nostalgia character: Prosthetics artist , I created a Teddy face prosthetic in foam latex & then flocked it to make it furry . I also created other items that atatched to the body such as a keyplaster and My little pony.
Photo Character: Handmade tattoos, styled wig.
Character realisation: Photo Memory
Role: Make-up artist & Hair stylist. Here I hand made a variety of temporary Tattoo’s based on nostalgic images. The theme of this drew inspiration from Bettie Page so I styled and cut the wig to this breif.
Photo Tattoo’s!
