These days tattoos there are different ways of tattooing both permanent & temporary. Temporary Body tattoos look just like real tattooing. Temporary Tattoo designs to try before choosing an actual nice tattoo, for fun, for promotions or for your fancy dress party.

Temporary tattoos have become quite famous in such a short time as they are affordable, pain less & above all they can be removed any time & that part of your body is again ready for a sizzling hot new Tattoo!!

Conventional Temporary tattoos, which were first made popular as inserts in regular bubble gums, were poor quality transfers, often resulted in hazy designs and could easily be washed or rubbed off from body.Modern temporary transfer body tattoos are made of non toxic & high quality ink and glue, and last much longer than conventional temporary tattoos. In this process, the body tattoo is applied to the outer surface of the skin and stays until such time as the image fades away itself (typically after 3-5 days) or is removed using alcohol or any such remover.While most temporary body tattoos are created commercially for promotions, advertising or as novelty items ( giveaways ) , the process of creating it has been adapted to the fine art of lithography as well.

Usually Temporary transfer body tattoos consist of five main elements: the front of the sheet of paper, the back of the sheet of paper, inks, glue and a protective plastic sheet over tattoo. The front of the sheet is covered with a special coating upon which the tattoo image is printed with special non toxic inks. A layer of special non toxic glue is then applied on top of the image. A thin, transparent plastic sheet is placed over the front of the sheet to protect the image and glue layer. The back of the sheet is left untreated and usually has a list of ingredients and/ or instructions to use printed on its backside.Water Transfer ( temporary ) tattoos are usually applied by removing the plastic sheet, placing the image face down against the skin and wetting the backing by putting water ( directly or indirectly ) thoroughly. The backing can then be carefully removed, leaving the image in place. For more information http://www.tattoomanufacturers.com

Craig Thornburrow asked:


If you are considering a tattoo for the first time you may have some questions about how to pick out a tattoo design. Finding the correct design for you is really important as tattoos are basically permanent unless you want to pay to have them removed. So for your first time here are some things that you should consider about what type of design you should have, where you can find ideas for designs, and if you can create your own.

When giving tips for choosing a design for a tattoo the best advice is “what do you really like?” You should pick a design that really expresses something you feel strongly about or something that when you look at it you smile. A good example of this is many that are in the military often get themselves tattooed with very American symbols such as the eagle or if they are marines the “devil dog” or bulldog mascot. On the other hand you may love butterflies and consider having a butterfly design done in a place where you can see it and it makes you smile.

You can find a design that you will like almost anywhere. You can search online and you will find some that will let you print out the designs for free and other will allow you to download them for a fee. The choices are unlimited online so that is a good place to start. Another place you can look for a good tattoo design is at the tattoo parlor where you are planning to have yours done at. They will have lots of books full of designs and each artist will have their own portfolio full of ideas.

If you have not found any tattoo ideas that peak your interest you can try to design your own original work. This is especially ease if you have an artistic ability. You can just draw it up and take it to the parlor where you will have it done and they put it into a special copier that will print out the design on tattoo paper, and you have your own unique tattoo. If you are not artistic you can cut picture out of a magazine and take it into the artist, not all pictures can be copied but a good artist should be able to make a nice rendition of it for you.

The next thing you should consider is how big you are going to want your chosen design and where you are going to have it placed. Many artists will recommend that for the first time you select a design that is smaller. This way you can test yourself and see if you can tolerate the pain, most people are fine but there are some that are extra sensitive and may decide not to proceed. The other question to consider is where you want the tattoo. Make sure that the place you work does not have any restrictions as to visible tattoos and many people think it will be neat to have the tattoo design put in a discrete area but just remember, in order to get it there, someone will be looking.

How to Apply Your Water Transfer Tattoos

These decorative water transfer tattoos for your body are temporary, to suit the occasion, you want to flaunt your tattoos on!



Determine a good spot (forearm or anywhere on body), somewhere that doesn’t bend a lot. To place the tattoo, please consider the tattoo’s size, design and purpose.

Clean your skin(where you want to place the tattoo) thoroughly with soap and water (or alcohol), and dry off. It is extremely important the application area be clean, non greasy & air dry !!

Skin patch where the tattoo is going to be placed must not be twisted or stretched. The more hairless the skin, the better. Shave/wax if necessary.

Apply water, with the help of a washcloth onto tattoo backing and make sure that the entire design is covered…wait for 30-40 seconds.

It is best to have your buddy apply the tattoo so it will be rightly positioned and also your skin is not twisted.

Lift corner slightly to see if tattoo is getting transferred.

Slide paper gently aside if it is transferred well. Start from a corner, peel half way, and then finish with the opposite corner.

Rinse gently with warm water to remove the extra glue.

Make sure not to twist or stretch your skin until the tattoo has set (at least ten minutes ).

You may choose to follow the design as it is, or create your own thing by applying many different tattoos together.

If you use any body lotions or creams, avoid applying them to the Tattoos, as it may come off accidentally.

Tattoos can last between 2 days and 3 weeks, usually 4-8 days. This will depend on factors such as skin type, destination, and proper care.



Handy Tips:



Smaller tattoos are usually easier to maintain because there’s lesser chance of it being damaged when you remove the tattoo backing paper!

If you’re very new to using body art, don’t be scared of failing because everything needs practice.

Let your tattoo air-dry before wearing anything on top of it, touching it, or bending.



To remove…use baby oil/lotion, rub alcohol or masking tape
