How can I get remove the tattoos that came with my fairytopia barbie doll?

Question

I have one of the older Fairytopia dolls. She has red hair but I took it down and dressed her in other clothes. She's really pretty but her tattoos bug me or whatever they are. There's designs on her chest and arms. Is there any way that I can get these off? Maybe with alcohol or something? Advice please?? Here's a link of the doll.

Hi! Removing the factory paint of Barbies (facepaint, tatoos, etc) is very easy! All you have to do is gently rub it with nail polish remover, preferably a non acetone based one (be careful not to let the paint stain her body). I heard "Once Removed" is very good. Acetone will do the same thing, but could also 'harm' the vinyl. Or you could replace the doll's body for another one, without the tatoos (for that, here's a good tutorial: http://home.comcast.net/~tefaz/cdarchive... Good luck! =)
