About us
Once trapped in generic, plastic bodies, these dolls have come to the metaverse and the first thing they couldn’t wait to do was get inked and go shopping. Dolls now live as an NFT community in the Ethereum network.
Join Our DiscordBut soon they realized they had to spread the word among their virtual peers. And so, they got together to build The First Tattoo Shop of the Metaverse, where NFTs can come and get their very own ink.
You can get yours, the real, physical doll, as a holder of its NFT persona. Straight from the tattoo parlor, she’ll go all the way to meet you and get to know more about you and the world! It is surely the best NFT to buy!

ROADMAP
"Wanna see what is at the end of this rainbow?" — MetaDoll 0420
In the beginning there were doodles. Later, he called them Art: Alejandro Rincón (Tattoo AR) is a prolific tattoo artist from Colombia who has been inking people for over 7 years. The wide range of his projects has allowed him to master different techniques, including sculpture and digital Art. Here, he has used Tattoos and 3D Art modeling with hyperrealistic materials to deconstruct identity and take a deeper look at how it is built.
With the question of how serialized production impacts authenticity in mind, he took a generic doll and inked life into her. Then he decided to give her a home in virtual space, where the question begs for more answers. Now, with the help of a diverse team of creators, designers, developers and strategists. Tattoo AR and the MetaDolls’s Team explore the boundaries between life, Art and the digital world.
They all would like to bend and bend those boundaries.

FAQs
This project is created by colombian artist Alejandro
Rincón, tattoo artist for over 7 years. It explores the link
and effect that tattoos have in the construction of our
identity nowadays. The body is represented by the Dolls,
iconic objects fabricated in mass and registered in series,
which results comparable to the characteristics of human
condition in today's world. Additionally the tattoo is done
over the inorganic base as an artistic expression and a form
of customization, which offers a way of identification or
differentiation.
MetaDolls brings together the concepts of body, brand and
tattoo, through a research-creation process, which explores
the relationship between them and their influence on the
significant construction of bodies in contemporary society.
At the same time, it models the tattoo as an artistic
practice that seeks to transform the individual.
Currently, cultural models and patterns have been
transforming and adopting new ways of dressing or looking;
artistic body modifications such as tattoos and piercings
are part of these changes and therefore have aroused social
interest; over time they have ceased to be stigmatized and
their use has become standardized, framing a series of
cultural patterns that have also undergone modifications and
variations today, taking new forms in modern culture,
countercultures, pop culture and now cryptoculture.
In this way, the MetaDolls are that proposal that violates
the traditional models and patterns of the body and beauty.
At the same time, they are an exploration of new identities
and artistic expressions that are born from the need to
represent the human being. When the body changes, it
communicates differently, and this type of communication
also transforms the very language of culture.
