How to get a temporary tattoo at home

Every person, especially in adolescence, wants to somehow stand out from others and get a tattoo.

But permanent tattoos that will remain for life are scary to stuff. For this, there are temporary tattoos that can be washed off with water and soap if something doesn't work out or you don't like it.

There are several ways to apply the image to the skin: with a marker, helium pen, cosmetic pencil. To make the tattoo look beautiful, you need to draw it well, so I advise you to practice before the procedure or ask a more skillful artist to draw the selected image.

So, let's consider several types of temporary tattoos.

The first type of application will last for several days. Choose the picture you want to transfer. Next, determine the place on the skin. Redraw the image to the selected place on the body with a pen.

It is best to use a black helium pen, as its design looks better than a regular ballpoint pen. To secure the tattoo, apply hairspray on top. In this case, the drawing will last for several days.

The second type of application will keep the tattoo for a whole week. To do this, spread the toothpaste on the area on the skin where the tattoo will be placed. Then transfer the selected drawing with a cosmetic pencil. Powder the image on top with a cotton pad and face powder. And the thicker the layer, the stronger the tattoo will be. Secure with hairspray or water repellent cream.

The third view will save the image for a month. All the same procedure: we smear the skin with toothpaste, transfer the drawing with a marker, cover the top with powder in several layers. We fix it with shoe polish. It will be enough to pshiknut a couple of times to save the tattoo for a month.

The fourth type differs in the way the image is applied. The drawing is transferred from paper to skin. So, in order:

  1. Select the image, print it on a laser printer and cut it out, leaving 0,5 cm at the edges.
  2. Thoroughly moisten a sheet of paper with a picture with perfume. Immediately after that, we lower it completely into the water for a few seconds.
  3. Apply the tattoo sheet to the skin and hold for about 10 minutes. During this time, you can still peep with perfume from above. They must be high in alcohol, otherwise the tattoo will not work. Then carefully peel off the paper.

If you want to get yourself a temporary tattoo, I suggest you start with the first method. Since if the drawing is unsuccessful, it can be easily washed off with plain water and soap. The second method requires acetone and micellar water. And a tattoo made with shoe polish will not wash off in any way, you will have to wait until it comes off on its own. You choose which method to use.
