How To Make Your Own Temporary Tattoo: 3 Methods

1. Eyeliner Tattoo

Ladies and gentlemen, especially ladies, here’s the first groundbreaking discovery; eyeliner can be used to draw ‘lines’ on other parts of the body rather than just the eye. Incredible, right? Well, we all know that of course. But, for real, you can use an eyeliner to draw a temporary tattoo directly onto your body, wherever you want. If you’re interested in this method, here’s how you’ll do it;

Preparation

• Buy a new eyeliner; if you have an eyeliner that you use on your face, well, you cannot use it for drawing fake tattoos. Unless you plan on buying a new one for your eyes, make sure to use a clean eyeliner for this journey.
• Avoid buying liquid eyeliners; they will be hard to use for details since they’re harder to control and even harder to get remove from the skin.
• Make sure your target body area is clean and preferably hairless; if the area is hair-free, the eyeliner has a better chance of sticking and staying on the skin. It will also be easier to execute any design and details when the surface is smooth.

Execution

• Come up with a design or look for inspiration elsewhere; either way, have a design in mind that you’re going to use.
• Draw the design onto your skin directly, using the new eyeliner.
• Make sure to be patient and steady, so you avoid making mistakes.
• Once you’re satisfied with the design, use hairspray to coat the tattoo; a thin layer should be enough

The eyeliner tattoo should last between 3 and 5 days, in case you do not expose it to water for example. If you want to get rid of the ‘tattoo’, simply wash the area using lukewarm water and some soap. After you’re done, tap dry the area and moisturize it to help the skin retain moisture.
