Things You'll Need:
- Temporary tattoo
- Scissors
- Wet washcloth
-
Step 1
Choose a pre-designed transfer tattoo from a sheet and use scissors to cut it out. Decide where on your body you will apply the tattoo. If it's a large or long tattoo, or you select an area you can't reach, enlist the help of a friend.
-
Step 2
Wash and dry the area you have selected for the tattoo. If there's enough hair to get in the way of the image, you may want to shave the area.
-
Step 3
Remove the plastic sheet that protects the image and place the transfer sheet against the skin with the image face down.
-
Step 4
Check that your temporary tattoo is where you want it. A strip of adhesive tape helps to keep it in place, but make sure the tape doesn't touch the design itself as the tattoo will stick to the tape
-
Step 5
Use a wet paper towel or washcloth to completely dampen the transfer sheet. Make sure the backing sheet is saturated, which may take a minute or so. Give the design time to set before you slide or peel the backing off.
-
Step 6
Let tattoo set for a minute before you blot off dampness.
