How to Draw Your Own Temporary Tattoo


    For the people of the world who want a cool tattoo, minus the pain, the cost, and the (wrong) end result.

    Steps
    Pick out an image you want. Note: Make sure this is an image you can draw. If you want a really complex design, you are better off seeing a professional.
    Study it carefully. Make sure it is exactly what you want.
    Pick the colour you want for it.
    Cleanse the area thouroughly.

    Wipe a WARMING cleanser around the area.
    Pick the colour Sharpie you want for it. Pat the tattoo with a tissue after every other stroke so the ink doesn't spread. Have a make up remover on hand, just in case.
    Take a good look at the tattoo. If it's exactly how you want it, go on. If it isn't, then start over.

    Wet a tissue (not the same one you used before) with a COOLING toner to close your pores with the ink in them (this sounds bad, but it will keep the ink in for longer). Pat the area with it.
    Keep running your hand up and down the area until the ink is not spreading, your hands are clean, and the area is dry. If it spreads, use a makeup remover to clean it up.
    Keep doing this as the tattoo starts to fade to keep the tattoo for as long as possible.

    FOR LESS ARTSTIC PEOPLE LIKE ME.
    Or for something way more easier use a thin paper.
    1.Draw your image on the paper.

    WIITH SOME KIND OF MAKER (HEAVY INK)
    2.Place the image on your skin 3.Rub alcohol on the image . 4.Continue to rub until you can see you image. (This will be used as a stencil) 5.Now outline , go back with details, and explore ( hairspray will keep it on longer )

    Tips
    Use a Sharpie a couple shades darker than the colour that you want it to end up with. Japanese characters are very popular tattoos, and there are some that are incredibly easy to draw.
    Make sure that the tattoo is in an area where YOU can draw it. If you want it on, let's say, your lower back, get someone you really, really, really trust to do it for you.

    Fine point Sharpies usually work best, but the ones with the fat tips are good for coloring in large areas.
    When you are testing it for smearing, test the OUTSIDE of the drawing and spread it with outward motions. If you test the middle and it smears you can't remove it with the makeup remover.

    Warnings
    This method has been tried and does not always work correctly.
    Some people are allergic to permanent marker. If you are not sure, make a short mark on the back of your hand (or somewhere less obvious) and check for a rash later.Source URL: http://mastertriball.blogspot.com/2008/12/how-to-draw-your-own-temporary-tattoo.html
