Here we’ll talk about how you can make temporary tattoos for yourself and your friends.  Tattoos are certainly a life choice, being a permanent design on your skin.  Even with the easy availability of laser surgeries that can remove a tattoo, it’s still a big commitment, and not something that should be entered into without a great deal of thought.  Many people try temporary tattoos first, to see if they like it, and to have the experience of wearing it every day.  This might be a good option for you.  Other people like to wear them occasionally, for a party or a night at the club for example, and many actors have them in films.  Whatever your reasons, a temporary tattoo can give you the sense of the real thing.

To make a temporary tattoo, the first thing to know is that you have a lot of options.  That intense creativity that people have when they’re kids has demonstrated many different possibilities for making colorful designs on your body.  Because of the popularity in tattooing in recent years, the technologies have gotten better for making the real thing, but the methods of making temporary ones have also become something of an art form.  You can use permanent marker, nail polish, or eye liner to make your tattoo.  All of these methods can produce rather stunning results, and with a little practice drawing on skin, it shouldn’t take too long before you’re happy with your own results.

The first step is to choose the design you like, and here the limit is only in your imagination.  Once you’re settled on something you want, make a stencil of it.  Draw the design on a piece of tracing paper, and color it with tattoo ink.  This can be purchased in most craft stores.  Put a layer of stick deodorant onto the skin, covering the area where you want the tattoo to go.  Then take the tracing paper, ink side down, and apply to the skin.  Remove very carefully so that the ink stays on the skin, and make sure that it’s what you want.  If it’s not quite right, you can remove with alcohol and start again.  Now you can draw over the design with the markers, blending the colors with a q-tip touched with rubbing alcohol.  Let it dry, and remove the deodorant with a wet cloth, then cover the tattoo with hair spray to make it last.  That’s all there is to it!
