Pretty sure The pieces are run through a machine that has Metal stencil like pieces shaped specifically for each color/logo/shape/area of figure. The paint itself is either heated or chemically reacts to the plastic, slightly bonding it to the surface. (Some times when you remove paint for a custom, you can still see the old paint app raised in the surface of the plastic. It all looks to be sprayed to me too, so if you are going to paint a 3 color logo on a thigh, it would have 3-4 stencils that are lined up by the machine, then each corresponding color is sprayed over the stencil. Like E21 Honkytonk man probably had 1 stencil per leg piece and the back logo was probably a molded stencil that fits snugly, then they sprayed white and removed it and moved on. THey could also do this same process without molded stencils if they use a Rubber stamping machine. Which works like screen printing, just on a 3 dimensional surface. I don't believe they use paint honestly. They use ink im almost positive and it gets mixed with a hardner and uv or infared lights harden it almost instantly or at least thats how it was with the bottles at the factory I worked for and previously mentioned. It could be. I know that a lot of toys that are manufactured in china use a type of paint that is toxic while wet, and un-toxic when it dries. You can't use it in the US but it is OK if you make it in china first... This is why as customizes, we have a very hard time getting paint to stick like the factory, what they use has acid in it that melts and bonds itself to the plastic.At any rate There is some how a bonding process which is explained by the raised paint areas once removed. They changed something around E21 as every figure I've gotten after since that set, they paint seems to rub off very easily, especially eyebrows. Tommy Dreamer beat the People's eyebrows off my E22 Rock in the course of a feud.

For tattoos: They start with an image (example #1) and the machine (example #2) picks up that image and then presses it onto the specific piece. (example #3)

Probly a stamp like machine that stamps down the image/color/tattoo on the figure and then it keeps moving down the assembly line till the figure is done and packaged and placed into the box ?? Possibly

I remember watching a how they do it video on WWE.com that feature Alex Riley touring Mattel. It's a guy that does initially paint the first prototypes if I'm correct. IDK I could be making crapup, but I swear that's what was said in the video. lol
