Choose a graphic, art piece or wording that you want to use for your tattoo. Keep in mind the size, coloring and area of the body where your temporary tattoo will be placed.
Lay your "tattoo" art down on a light box and then trace that art onto tracing paper. An indelible ink pen works best for this project.
Rub a generous amount of clear gel deodorant on the area of your body where you want your temporary tattoo to be placed. Place the colored side of the tracing paper on your skin over the clear gel deodorant and then hold the drawing to your skin for at least 30 seconds.
Peel off the tracing paper from your skin. Peel carefully and make sure that the art has been transferred from the paper to your skin.
Use a black sharpie to outline your "tattoo" and then use colored sharpie pens to color in the art work as desired.
Use a cotton swab to apply alcohol carefully over the tattoo. This will create a faded, realistic look to your temporary tattoo. Use a makeup brush to apply baby powder all over your tattoo.
