How to Draw a Temporary Tattoo

A temporary tattoo is a great way to have the look of a tattoo but without the pain and permanency of a real tattoo. If you're thinking about getting a temporary tattoo, you may be wondering how to draw one.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Figure out what kind of medium you want to use for your temporary tattoo. Most people drawing temporary tattoos use fine-point Sharpies, but you can use also use henna.

2. Consider getting a stencil. You can purchase stencils as a part of a temporary tattoo kit or an airbrushing kit.

3. Clean the area you want the tattoo first. Simple soap and water will work. This will help keep it from spreading and from fading too soon.

4. Make sure the ink is dry after every stroke before going on to the next one. This will prevent you from smearing the tattoo. Pat your temporary tattoo with a tissue or a soft cloth after each stroke.

5. Use makeup remover or baby oil to remove the temporary tattoo if you mess up. You can also do this if the tattoo starts to spread. If you've made a little mistake that needs correcting, try dipping a cotton swab into makeup cleanser and fix the tattoo.

6. Stroke a toner over the tattoo after it's dried to make it last longer.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember, temporary tattoos fade so choose colors darker than what you want.
• Do not ask a tattoo artist to go light when giving you a tattoo. This won't give you a temporary tattoo but a poor-looking permanent tattoo.
