Instructions

How to Wear Rhinestone Body Art

1. 

   Select the location for your rhinestone body art. This should be an area of your body that is sexy but not overtly sexual. Because rhinestone tattoos are gaudy by nature, they should not be placed on your cleavage or near your bottom. The shoulder blade area is a good area, as is the back of the neck or even the center of your back if your top dips low enough.

2. Pick an outfit that highlights your rhinestone body art. If you are going to wear sparkly stones on your body, you should plan to show them off. Pick an outfit and hairstyle that accommodate the location of your tattoo. For example, a shirt that dips low in the back and a cute up-do will highlight a rhinestone tattoo on your upper back.

3. Scrub your body thoroughly with the sugar or salt scrub. This will remove dead skin and skin products that can cause the rhinestone body art to flake off. Use a loofah to give yourself a thorough washing. Make sure that you pay extra attention to the area where you will be wearing the rhinestone body art.

4. Dry your skin completely. If your hair is dripping or your skin is at all moist, the rhinestone tattoo will not stick to your body.

5. Apply the rhinestone tattoo to the area that you have selected. Most rhinestone tattoos come on a sticky, clear background that must be entirely flat to make the tattoo look its best.

6. Turn the blow dryer on the decorated area for about 60 seconds. This will set the glue on the body art and prevent moist skin from causing the tattoo to peel.
