Temporary Tattoos

While some people invest a considerable amount of time getting a tattoo, others may not want to commit a permanent tattoo on a long-term basis or sit still long enough to have a tattoo imprinted on their body. If you are looking for a great way to accentuate your look with a tattoo and make a bold statement without a long-term commitment of a tattoo, choose a temporary tattoo design that speaks to your unique individuality. You can even change your temporary tattoo to suit your mood or to accommodate a special event that you are planning to attend.

How long does a temporary tattoo last?

When you put a temporary tattoo on your body, you understandably only want to see the temporary tattoo for a few days or less in many cases. Many temporary tattoo types are made from ink that is intended to look authentic and realistic for a short period of time, and the tattoo artwork may be entirely washed away from your body the next time you shower. In many cases, a temporary tattoo may be washed away in a day or less, and there is no concern about a permanent tattoo imprinted on your body with a temporary tattoo. However, the tattoo timeline varies based on the type of temporary tattoo selected. If you only want your tattoo to last for a day or less, read the fine print before application.

What kind of ink is used with a temporary tattoo?

If you are selecting a temporary tattoo, you may wonder what the tattoo application process is and what type of ink they are made out of. There are several tattoo options that are designed to be washed off with water or oil. Some are airbrush tattoo designs that require specialized equipment, paint and stencils. Other tattoos are applied with water and a small amount of pressure. Temporary tattoo options that cover your arm like a sleeve are made out of a stretchy tattoo material that sticks in place but that also can easily be removed.

Are there temporary tattoo styles for adults and kids?

While a tattoo is most commonly an adult type of artwork, kids often love to wear a temporary tattoo as well. You can find a temporary tattoo that features your favorite cartoon characters. Other tattoo options are exciting designs and lovable animals. These tattoo options are suitable for kids and adults. However, be aware that some temporary tattoo options and airbrush stencils may be more well-suited for adults because of the mature nature of the tattoo.

Can a temporary tattoo be used to dress up a costume?

Some people will wear a temporary tattoo for fun or for a special occasion, but a tattoo may also be worn as part of a costume. For example, a temporary tattoo can be placed on your face instead of applying elaborate makeup. This type of tattoo can give you professional-looking results with less time and money involved. Likewise, a temporary tattoo can be placed on any area of the body for different effects. A tattoo that shows off a faux wound may be great for a zombie look. A glitter tattoo may work well for a fairy. You can easily accentuate your look for Halloween, a theme party or another fun event with a temporary tattoo.
