Why Choose Temporary Tattoos?
Tattooing is more popular in the Developed world now than at any time for hundreds of years - perhaps even as many as two thousand years, because women are also sporting tattoos nowadays.
It has become very fashionable for women to have a lower back tattoo or 'tramp stamp' and for young men to have a kind of martial arts tattoo on their upper arm or lower leg.
There are worries with permanent tattooing though. Or at least there can be. Aids and hepatitis may become transferred by using infected needles. This is not common because tattooing studios are aware of the need to use a new needle on every client, but mistakes occur and some studio owners are deceitful. The most common difficulty, however, is infection.
Infection from tattooing is not common, but neither is it unheard of. This is usually the fault of the client and not the tattooer, but it can become dangerous whatever the cause. Permanent tattoos can be got rid of but it is a lot of hard effort and is expensive as well and the results are not always all that pretty.
This is why temporary tattoos are so popular. If you take care of a temporary tattoo it can last a week or more, but it is simple to remove if you would like to do so. Temporary tattoos or transfers used to be given away with chewing gum for children, but nowadays they are of much better quality and durability.
If you are sure that you want a permanent tattoo, why not get an identical temporary one first and try it out? If you are fed up with the tattoo after a week or you do not like the feedback of your friends and family, you can remove it and try a different design until you find one that suits you better.
Once you find one that you like, you can have it tattooed on permanently. This procedure of choosing a design could save you thousands of dollars in having an undesirable tattoo gotten rid of. Temporary tattoos are easy to apply, but sometimes it is easier if you get a friend to help.
The majority of temporary transfers are put on with water. First you should clean the region of hair and grease. Then soak the transfer in (warm) tap water as instructed on the label, position it on the required location and apply steady even pressure for the time suggested, which is usually a couple of minutes.
If you would like to try to conserve the transfer for a longer time, you can spray 'Second Skin' or something similar over the transfer once it is dry. Hairspray might also work, but some brands will crack, giving the design a crazed look like an old oil painting.
Temporary tattoos are a fun way to brighten up your wardrobe and there are so many different designs that you can always find a design to suit the event, your disposition and the clothing you want to wear.
