These Porcelain Dolls Look Perfectly Traditional Except For Their Sailor Tattoos

ADVERTISEMENT

These traditional porcelain dolls look very graceful, but they would be perhaps a bit boring if it weren’t for the fact that they’re covered in such badass sailor tattoos!

These tattoos were drawn by artist Jessica Harrison from Edinburg, Scotland. She created “The Painted Ladies” series as part of a larger exhibit called “Flash,” which is being held in Galerie L.J., Paris. In her artist’s statement Jessica writes that the idea behind the painted ladies is “to re-describe the body in sculpture through the skin, offering an alternative way of thinking about the body beyond a binary tradition of inside and outside.”

So, what do you prefer: the traditional porcelain dolls or these rockstar versions?

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
