Tattoos can be an important life decision. From delicate wrist designs, mom-daughter ink, and arm sleeve designs, it pays to research before committing.
Choose an alcohol-based ink for long-lasting results.
Apply your temporary tattoo directly onto your skin – remember that the adhesive will take approximately 30 seconds to set in.
Nature
No matter your motivation for a temporary tattoo, a few key considerations must be met before applying it to your skin. First and foremost is finding high-quality, non-toxic, safe ink for both body and mind. Water-based inks are widely used and ideal for creating intricate designs, but they tend to fade faster than other inks. Choose high-quality, non-toxic ink when making a tattoo selection. Spraying hairspray over it will extend its life further – especially useful if wearing your tattoo during outdoor events where sun exposure could shorten its life significantly.
Waves
Tattoos are permanent commitments, so if you are uncertain or unready to ink yourself permanently yet want something temporary, temporary tattoos offer an excellent alternative. Ranging from delicate wrist tats to full body designs made of water-slide paper and adhesive adhesive, there are sure to be designs available that mimic real Tattoos closely enough that you won’t miss the commitment as much! Henna (or mehendi in some cultures) is a natural dye made from the leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant. The active dye known as Lawsone binds with the keratin found in your hair, fingernails, and skin to form intricate designs on your hands and feet. To prolong your henna tattoo’s durability, lightly spray its design with hairspray. This helps prevent it from fading or smudging after sweating or showering and should also help you touch up its plan before the hairspray has dried – leaving an excellent tattoo look that lasts for at least several hours!
Cats
Cats are captivating creatures. Their relationship with humans is distinct, as they retain more wild DNA than dogs. Cats epitomize independence, magic, and mystery. This minimalist tattoo depicts a cat’s nose, mouth, and whiskers using simple black lines – perfect for girls who love cats and want to show their feline side! Henna Tattoos are a popular temporary inking method in the Middle East and India. Created using special powder, the designs usually last just several days – providing the ideal way to try out permanent inking before committing. Henna also makes excellent presents for anyone hesitant to ink themselves permanently!
Semicolon
The semicolon tattoo is a powerful symbol of perseverance and survival, often chosen as a design choice by those experiencing mental health challenges such as depression or suicidal thoughts. This design choice can often be combined with other designs for more personalized statements. Tattoos that feature birds are popular because they symbolize freedom. Additionally, specific birds such as doves and swallows have particular meanings – including doves representing peace, swallows representing flight, and phoenixes representing resurrection and rising from ashes – making these symbols an excellent addition to the semicolon symbolism. Tattoo designs such as an infinity symbol represent limitless possibilities and everlasting love, while adding the semicolon to this design adds further meaning and reminds us to adapt to life as life constantly changes. Semicolon Tattoos also serve as a great way to promote mental health awareness, often used together with numbers for suicide hotlines or support groups.
