How to cosplay: Abarai Renji (Bleach)

So you saw the walking tattoo in Bleach with the fiery attitude and you want to cosplay him. Here is my version:

The costume part:
Following the post 'making the shinigami uniform' make all the pieces. Secondly remember the headband (or the funky sunglasses he wears).

For the tattoos:

The tattoos in the neck and forehead works better with eyeliner, but you can use body paint, especially if you are going bare-chest. 

Now the hair: So either you get a wig and style it, or like me, cut your hair and spray it with flower spray, then paint the detail on the face with red body paint (or in my case I used fabric paint)

For the weapon, This Zabimaru was made of wood, painted with acrylic, and wrapped bias binding around the handle.  

 That concludes the cosplay set-up.

For the cosplay:
Remember: You are a red head, with a lot of deep feelings, yet tempered.
