Designing Temporary Tattoo’s

Hi There! I got tatted recently. Just kidding. I bought some Decal Paper and designed some temporary tattoo’s out of some of my favourite drawings.
It’s not the sort of paper you had as a kid that required you to sponge water onto the backing- but it’s a start.
On the left I illustrated all the things you’ll need to make your own and look like a total loser. I’m not sure why someone would want a temporary tattoo at 24… but if you’re looking to be ironic without scarring your body forever then I guess this is for you.

All you need really is the paper, an INKJET printer and a steady hand. The nutella tattoo decal is probably my favourite. I can already think of a million ways to use this transfer paper. In about 3 hours every mug and glass surface will bare a trendy decal that I’ll probably curse myself for later. I’ll update you on those photos when I finish being so obsessed with this. Anyone know how I can get into making the tattoo’s with more permanent feel ? These ones are little more like transparent thin stickers that are pretty tough to get off but still not the same as the ones I had when I was younger.

Hope you enjoyed your productive Wednesday while I sat here and figured out how I to make temporary tattoos (my life is sad).
