How to get a temporary tattoo at home?

Temporary tattooing is a great solution for those who want to apply a beautiful body drawing without resorting to the services of a professional tattoo artist. This option is also suitable for users who want to pre-evaluate the appearance and location of a real tattoo.

The advantage of any method of temporary tattooing is the absence of a complex technique. All you need to do is prepare a specific set of tools and follow simple instructions.

In addition to materials for creating a temporary tattoo, you can prepare skin care cosmetics and disinfectants.

You can get a temporary tattoo at home using a high-tech portable printer. Its main features are simple operation and no preparatory actions. The average print speed of such devices is 3-6 seconds, depending on the manufacturer.

To make such a tattoo with your own hands, you need to purchase a printer and install a special application on your mobile phone. Next, you should load any photo into the utility, and bring the device to your skin. Such drawings are stored for at least 2 weeks.

To increase the duration of the tattoo "life", it can be additionally treated with perfume with a high alcohol content.

To make yourself a spectacular and colorful tattoo at home, you can use the so-called watercolor technique. To do this, you need to take parchment paper and apply the desired pattern on it. Then the resulting sketch should be dipped in clean water, and trace the edges of the pattern with a permanent marker.

Next, the paper must be pressed tightly against the skin, and held for about 10-15 seconds.

You can make a temporary tattoo with a regular pen with or without a puncture. The first option is more reliable and more durable. If done without a puncture, the effect lasts no more than 3-6 days. To do this, follow a series of steps.

• Wipe thoroughly and dry the skin.
• Redraw the desired pattern on tracing paper using a pencil.
• Using a gel pen, gently shade the drawing.
• Apply tracing paper to the skin, then press with a slightly damp washcloth. Keep for 3-4 minutes.
• Dry the pattern for 25-30 minutes. Fix the result with hairspray.

In order for the tattoo to last much longer, it is necessary to make small punctures in the upper layer of the skin. For this, it is recommended to use a thin medical syringe.

There are a lot of different ideas with which you can get a fake tattoo at home. Most of the existing techniques are quite easy to perform, so they can be used by both adults and children.

One of the popular methods for applying a temporary tattoo for several days is using a cosmetic eyeliner. The first thing to do for this technique is to come up with a design for the drawing, and try to draw it on plain paper.

Further steps to create a washable tattoo.

• Draw the selected picture by hand. If the preliminary sketch does not suit the quality or appearance, you can wash it off and try to apply it first. It is recommended to select those parts of the skin on which there is no hair.
• Apply hairspray to the resulting pattern. Such a life hack allows you to increase the duration of the tattoo on the body. Do not cover the skin abundantly with it - 2-3 sprays are enough.
• Wait 30 to 50 minutes for the tattoo to dry. Before going to bed, it is recommended to wash off the tattoo with soap and water. This will avoid staining your bedding.
• To make the temporary tattoo last longer, you must use a water-based cosmetic pencil. Oily products deteriorate and flake off the skin faster. And also it is not at all necessary to buy black - you can experiment with shades based on your own preferences.

An equally popular method for making a temporary tattoo is the use of ordinary stencil paper. The most important thing here is to choose the right stencil base, which will not be distinguished by torn edges or uneven lines. Then, using permanent markers, outline the main drawing.

You can use natural paints or washable markers instead of regular markers. To make the pattern as clear as possible, you need to hold it tightly, and do not tear off the stencil sticker from your hand.For greater convenience, for a while, it can be neatly glued with ordinary tape.

If you need to create a tattoo for a month or more, you can use an airbrush - a special device based on the application of special paints with a high degree of safety. A similar device can be purchased in specialized stores at a fairly favorable price.

The dye can be applied both to the skin itself and to a regular stencil. In the second case, you can achieve clearer and more even lines. To make the picture richer, you can use 2-3 layers of paint.

In addition to the above types of tattoo creation, you can use the simplest method - just stick a regular sticker, which is pre-soaked in soap and water. After that, you should vigorously wipe the area with the pattern - the white background will wash off quickly, and the paints will remain on the skin.

Natural henna is considered the safest method of temporary tattooing at home. Unlike a number of other methods, this technique allows you to achieve a high-quality pattern that does not wash off for 3-4 weeks.

The first thing to do is to prepare the coloring composition.

• Sift the henna powder with a fine sieve to remove various dirt, dust or any other harmful particles.
• Pour a small amount of lemon juice into the powder. It is better to follow a 1: 3 proportional ratio.
• Stir the liquid thoroughly until a paste forms. Then wrap it in a piece of cloth or paper and put it in an airtight container. It is necessary to store the substance for 12 hours in a dark place out of direct sunlight.

Add a little more lemon juice in case the consistency is not thick enough or uneven. You cannot use water, otherwise you will have to repeat the above steps from the beginning.

To increase plasticity, add 1 tsp. Sahara. In order to improve the aroma properties, mix any essential oil with the mixture. In order to get a black color from a brown shade, basma must be added to henna.

Subsequently, the pattern is applied to the hand or any other part of the body with neat and even movements. For better legibility, a paper stencil can be used.

Although henna painting is best done using specialized tubes, many people apply patterns by hand. It all depends on the preferences of the person and his abilities.

To fix the pattern, it is enough to remove unnecessary elements with a cotton swab. The first few days, the drawing will be quite bright and eye-catching. After 3-4 days, the applied henna becomes darker. Subsequently, the shades will lose their saturation. To wash off the coloring matter, just use a cosmetic scrub.

A transfer tattoo is a fairly simple method of applying a specific pattern to any part of the body. The disadvantage of this method is the rapid disappearance of the pattern, while there is also a pleasant advantage - the simplest possible execution technique.

Getting a transfer tattoo is pretty simple.

• Find a specific pattern and print it on a printer. You can use plain A4 paper.
• Cut the printed drawing to the required format and size. For ease of application, you should step back 2-3 cm from the contour.
• Spray the paper thoroughly with cologne or eau de toilette with a high alcohol content.
• Immerse the transfer in clean water for 3-4 seconds.
• Press the picture onto the desired area of ​​the body and hold for 5-15 minutes. For greater efficiency, you can additionally spray the drawing with perfume.

One of the more original temporary tattoos is the glitter pattern. With it, you can quickly stand out from other people. This method is distinguished by beautiful visual characteristics, despite the rather short duration of the tattoo on the skin - no more than 3-4 days.

Here are the basic techniques for creating a dramatic tattoo.

• Addition of the main picture. Small sequins are attached to an already applied pattern, which is why the pattern is effectively complemented. It is better to use tweezers to glue decorative items.
• Using special tattoo kits that can be purchased from a specialist store. The advantage of such sets is the use of a film on which sparkles or rhinestones are applied. The drawing is made out using a paper stencil.
• Create a shiny pattern. This technique requires good hand motor skills and good imagination. For starters, you can use simple patterns that do not differ in complex lines or shapes.

Regardless of the method chosen, the glitter is always attached using a special glue on a natural basis, which is not capable of causing irritation or any other skin diseases. With a simple method, you can create unique and beautiful patterns.

The above techniques can be effectively combined with each other. Aside from child's play, crystal tattoos are a great way to complement a bridal outfit, evening dress, or simply enhance a festive look.
