“Wow” and “how long has it taken” are among the comments passed as Ms Reilly sprawls out on the library floor and puts pencil to paper.
But the woman she has created will soon be wearing more than underwear. Soon she will don an array of tattoos, including Mexican cartel insignia, Polynesian facial tattoos and Chinese mafia tattoos.
