So, I thought I would share a tutorial with ya'll!
You will need:
- A towel (Surface protection!)
- Fine markers (Do not use permanent markers or biro. The ink bleeds into your skin.)
- Scrap paper
- Baby wipes/make up wipes/Some form of wet wipes!
- Powder brush
- Talcum powder
- Your favourite perfume/body spray (Hairspray works great too)
Step One
 |
| Choose your design! (Or design your own!) Step Two |
Choose the area for your tattoo
Step Three
Clean designated area with wet wipe
Step Four
Draw out your design. I tend to do this free-hand, although tracing paper could be used.
Step Five
Put some talcum powder on scrap paper.
Step Six
Run brush through powder and tap off the excess.
Step Seven
Brush talcum powder over your design until well blended. (Make sure the ink is dry first!)
Step Eight
FROM A DISTANCE spray your design with perfume. Make sure you don't do this too close or it will make the ink bleed. (Today's selected fragrance is Lady Gaga's "Fame." It is divine!)
Step Nine
Once perfume has dried completely, brush more talcum powder over. Make sure it is well blended.
Step Ten
Tattoo is complete! (Although my free-hand has not served me well on this one!)
Previous designs:
"Freedom" (right) on my sister's arm in Chinese and "Love" (Left) on mine. Not sure how accurate the translations were though!
And there you have it! Tattoos last for two to three days and will come off when scrubbed in warm soapy water. I was pleased that water did not wash off the design when washing hands/raining etc! Though it may depend on what ink you use if it stays on well enough.
DO NOT do this if you have very sensitive skin. The last thing you want is a reaction to inks or perfumes.
If anyone tries this, send me your temporary tattoo pictures!
Happy doodling!
