Do you need temporary tattoos for a party or an event? You can find many cheap options online or make your own at home.
One online store is Momentary Ink. They have many designs and prices. You can also send them your picture, and they will make a tattoo for you. But this costs more money.
Stencil Method
You can make a stencil home with paper or vinyl and a knife. Or you can buy a stencil that is already made.
First, print your tattoo design on tracing paper or wax paper. Then, trace it on your stencil. Make sure your design is big enough to see through the stencil. If your design has words, connect the letters and shapes with lines. It will help you cut them out.
Next, cut out your design with a knife. Be careful not to cut yourself.
Water Slide
Another easy way to make temporary tattoos is with water slide paper. You can buy this paper online or in some stores.
Water slides are fun rides that use water to make you go fast. They have curves and turns for more fun.
The longest water slide in the world is in New Jersey. It is 1,975 feet long (about one-third of a mile). It takes more than one minute to go down.
A water slide can be an excellent way to have fun in the sun. But it can also be dangerous if not made well or used correctly.
Tape Method
If you don’t have a stencil, you can use tape to make a temporary tattoo. You need a tape that sticks to your skin.
First, put the tape on your skin where you want the tattoo. Then, peel it off slowly. It will make a mark on your skin.
You should do this more than once to get a clear mark. Also, this method may hurt your skin or make it red. So, don’t do this if your tattoos are extensive or your skin is sensitive.
You can also use oil to remove temporary tattoos. Some oils that work are baby oil, coconut oil or olive oil.
Put some oil on a cotton swab and rub it on your tattoo. Then, wash it off with warm water and soap. Dry your skin and put some lotion on it.
Adhesive Method
Cheap temporary tattoos look like real tattoos and are easy to take off. You can buy them from some art stores.
They are made with special paper that sticks to your skin when wet. To use them, you must wet your skin with water or alcohol and put the paper on it.
Wait for about 30 seconds, and then look at your skin. You should see a picture of it. Move the paper around until it sticks well.
Now, print and stick the adhesive paper together. To do this, put the sticky side of one piece of paper on the shiny side of another piece of paper and smooth it out. Then, use a tool like a bone folder or a Popsicle stick to press on the adhesive paper hard.
