\"Jinx<\/a><\/p>\n

It may be Tuesday but in my mind it is Tattosday. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because I have a great interview with a great cosplayer for you today. Her name is Skye but you may know her by her cosplay name Tatto. \u00a0She is very talented and I am thankful that she took the time in her schedule to do this interview with me. \u00a0I think her cosplays are outstanding and I know you will to. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Who are you and where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m Skye!! Born in raised in Southern California and I LOVE CATS<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. How did you discover cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw someone dressed up as Haruhara Haruko from FLCL and I realized that was a thing I could do. I, too, could be my beautiful pink haired anime wife.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a03. I really love your Jinx (League of Legends) cosplay.\u00a0 How did you come up with that concept?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There aren’t too many super flat, super skinny, & super spooky characters around so I felt kinda obligated to be her. My buddy who made my props was also REALLY ACHING to make a shark bazooka so it all lined up pretty perfectly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Have you ever cosplayed comic book characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nope! Maybe some day. I’m bigger into anime & video games than comics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. What genres do you cosplay?\u00a0 Do you have a favorite genre?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t think I really have a favorite genre but I do have some favorite studios, directors, & character types, though I don’t always stick to any one type of character.\u00a0 The bulk of my cosplays are from GAINAX anime!! <\/strong><\/p>\n

6. What is your favorite way to debut a new cosplay? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually at con.\u00a0 That’s when I’ll finally have the entire outfit on with the wig & makeup, so I’ll upload a sweet selfie & head out to the con center!<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. What other hobbies do you have besides cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I used to draw A LOT in my spare time, but lately I’ve been so busy with cosplay & school that I don’t have a lot of extra time for other hobbies!! I enjoy video games but I spend more time watching other people play them than I spend playing them myself.\u00a0 Is \u201cwatching Netflix\u201d considered a hobby nowadays???<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. What are your plans for the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GET A JOB<\/strong>
\n I don’t plan on quitting cosplay any time soon, & it’d be sweet if something cool comes out of me making wacky costumes & getting into clown makeup, but I’m on the job hunt for now!! I’m hoping within the next couple years I can settle down & work on some of my dream cosplays & really test my skills with the stuff I’ve been aching to make for a while.<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. Where can my readers see more examples of your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m primarily on facebook!! (www.facebook.com\/tattocosplay<\/a>) But I’m also on ACP (acparadise.com\/loves\/tatto<\/a>) and I talk A LOT about anime & other wacky crap on twitter (twitter.com\/tattobot<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a010. If you had to pick one cosplay, which one is your favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My latest favorite is my big Angel-XX Sahaquiel outfit that I made. I kicked ass on the construction & I feel super cute in it!! But another favorite of mine is Lupin the Third. He’s so much fun to run around in.<\/strong><\/p>\n
