Want to try something different? Temporary tattoos are a fun way to show off your team spirit or your artistic leanings without the permanence and pain of real tattoos. Many times temporary tattoos do not come in the design you want. Luckily, now you can design your own temporary tattoos quickly and inexpensively.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Printer
  • Temporary tattoo paper
  1. Step 1

    Purchase a pack of temporary tattoo paper. These are not found in every store, so it is best to look in a stationary store or computer specialty store. In addition, check to make sure there is plenty of ink in your printer.

  2. Step 2

    Buy an image you want your tattoo to look like. Insert it into a Microsoft Word document. If you need something more personalized, you can design your own tattoo using the same program. Add text and pictures that you think will make a perfect tattoo.

  3. Step 3

    Print your tattoo on a normal sheet of paper. Place this sheet over a blank piece of temporary tattoo paper. Hold them up to the light. You should be able to see the outline of the temporary tattoo and tell whether or not it will not get cut off when you remove the tattoo. Make any adjustments necessary and repeat until it fits.

  4. Step 4

    Insert the tattoo paper and print off the desired number of temporary tattoos. If your tattoo is rich in color, it may come out wet. Set it aside and allow it to dry for several minutes. Follow the directions on the paper to apply the tattoo once it has completely dried.

  5. Step 5

    Follow the directions on the paper to apply the tattoo once it has completely dried.
