I know you can get kind of a tattoo transfer paper that works, but other people I know of have just had someone draw it on them using pens.

Ok so what kind of pen will work?
Would body paint be ok?

yeah, i recommend pens. and paint also. just make sure you carry around a little bit of paint and a brsh if you choose to use it.
and use an inky pen, goes onto skin easier

Body paint should be fine, I'd say practise it a few times before you actually cosplay her, & maybe use a mirror for tricky angles?
