I've had my share of Barbie dolls, but these dolls by Marina Bychkova upstage even the most expensive designer Barbies. This tattooed porcelain 13.5” tall doll is exquisite. I myself many a tattoo, but nothing quite as ornate. The materials used are articulated, porcelain, China paint, and silk hair. The porcelain is engraved with a needle while still raw, fired and then china paint is rubbed into the grooves. Accents are added in additional layers. Oh, and they're anatomical too.
