How to Make a Temporary Tattoo

The sting of a tattoo needle isn't your only option for cool one-of-a-kind tattoos. Use your computer to create a masterpiece for your skin.

Step 1: Open a new document
Open your word-processing program and create a new document.

Step 2: Insert graphic
Insert a graphic into the blank document from a clip art file, scanned image, or the internet.

Tip
Choose an image with a high resolution to ensure that your tattoo isn’t blurry when printed.

Step 3: Resize image
Resize the image to fit the area of your body it will be applied to.

Step 4: Insert paper into printer
Insert a sheet temporary tattoo printer paper into your printer.

Tip
Put only one piece of paper in the printer at a time to keep the paper from jamming or smearing.

Step 5: Print and let dry
Print your image and let it dry for a few minutes.

Step 6: Follow directions
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for application and sport your new 'ink' with attitude.

Did You Know?
The tattoo machine was invented in 1891 by Samuel O’Reilly using an engraving machine built by Thomas Edison as his inspiration.

Make your own Temporary Tattoos

Now you can make your own Temporary Tattoos with or without a Printer

This is such a great idea for kids birthday parties, id tattoos so your kids wont get lost, pass ins for events, letting kids be creative and draw up their very own Temporary Tattoos on the spot or for competitions.

The idea is for lots and lots of FUN

The process is so simple. If you have an ink jet printer put he glossy side of the paper into the printer, print the images in reverse and then apply the Liquiskin TM skin adhesive over the sheet of images. ( The ink jet tattoo paper can also be printed by a Laser Printer) Use a ruler over the sheet to smooth out any bubbles

Next cut out tattoos and apply to the skin with sponge and water.

If you don't have a printer draw your images directly onto the A4 sheet of paper using pens or colored markers. Wait a few minutes for ink to dry. Be as creative as you want but make sure that the entire A4 sheet is full of images before you apply the Liquiskin TM Skin film adhesive over the top.

This concept is for fun and the tattoos have a slight shine to it. You can now literally make up your own Temporary Tattoos INSTANTLY.

Tattoos will last up to one week and can be removed instantly with perfume, alcohol,or baby oil.
