Tattoos, while a norm in some cultures, is controversial in most. People rarely ever commit to having a tattoo printed on any part of their body, especially as the permanent types are difficult, painful to apply, and expensive to delete. This is why some people would rather use temporary tattoos or fake tattoos to look cool for a while. Those who are looking for a permanent tattoo could also test temporary tattoo designs to determine the suitable look before committing to a permanent tattoo.

What is a temporary tattoo?

A temporary tattoo or removable tattoo is any sort of print that can be displayed or printed on the skin and removed at a later time, either through naturally fading out or at will. These tattoos vary by size, method of application, and design. They also vary in terms of how long they last on the skin. Long-lasting temporary tattoos are usually more expensive than the ones that last only for a couple of days, as the ink must be more robust to withstand sweat and even multiple showers but fall within the safe bounds of toxicity set by government health regulations.

Who should get a temporary tattoo? And where to apply it?

Temporary tattoos can either be applied using tattoo markers or tattoo paper. Customized temporary tattoos are usually applied using a tattoo pen and involve more time and money than paper tattoos. This type of tattoo is a good choice for those who crave more personalization. For example, they may want to have the name of their special loved one printed on their skin. On the other hand, tattoo stickers are ready-made patterns or drawings. The receiver picks their design of choice and then sticks the tattoo film onto their desired body part. After a few moments, the sticker is peeled away, leaving the temporary tattoo behind. The arm or back is one of the most preferred areas for people to place their tattoos, with temporary neck tattoos near the top of the choices as well. Some popular patterns are temporary butterfly tattoos, snakes, eagles, or other powerful or interesting animals.
