Oh what haven't I done to this poor thing...
The final image is
3 images layered make up the background
The hair was selected and turned pink and Eden was selected and pasted onto the background.
I doodled hearts on my leg in felt pen and took a photo that became her tattoo.
Dragonised.
Sharpened
SFW
And after a very long week and a steep learning curve here she is. Thanks to Eden for Modelling for me.

Very edgy and dramatic. It has a certain charm - definitely hair is the centerpiece, and the tattoo is a good choice, adds that little bit extra visual interest, draws you right to the hair (as if the color wasn't draw enough!).
Oh sheesh. Very underrated in my opinion. Portraits come in different styles, and this one is unusual but none the less wonderful. Looking at your editing steps you should be VERY PROUD of this amazing piece of art... you took so many elements and combined them in ways that enhanced them all, instead of one detracting from the other (overpowering background, or so forth). And I really love that you did the heart on your leg.. it sounds like it was an accident that it became part of this image? but I think it worked better than probably a heart on paper might.
I think you took the grunging too far on this image. You have lost all detail in the eye and made the skin texture look really bad. I would love to see this shot unedited, or edited in a softer way. The hair color and composition are really nice.
