We all like to look unique and standout from the rest when attending special occasions such as a night out on the town, at a party with friends or even to surprise our kids at their birthday party.

Temporary body tattoos are non-toxic, affordable and will wash off easily making them suitable for kids as well.

How to create temporary body tattoos for parties and special occasions:

Purchase a suitable paper - Tattoo Paper comes as an A4 sheet which means you could print a few tattoos on one sheet and simply cut with scissors. There are several papers in the market, look out for a dermatologically approved paper and one which is easily removed by washing the skin with soap and water.

Prepare the tattoo design - In addition to printing images and photos on the tattoo paper, a block of text could be used as a temporary tattoo as well. If you decided to print an image onto the paper, download an image to your computer, ensure its quality is high and that you are allowed to use the image. Before printing the design on the tattoo paper, consider printing a test page first on a normal paper to ensure it will come out the way you wanted it to.

Print the design on the tattoo paper - Feed the tattoo paper into the printer and select the printer setting inkjet paper with 360 up to 720 dpi resolution. When the print work is ready, cut the image or text with scissors and round off the corners.

Apply the design on the skin - Peel off the tattoo design slowly from its release paper. Position your tattoo preferably on a hairless body part and tap it down with your finger to transfer the design onto your skin. When applying the design take care as skin cream, cosmetics and sun cream may adversely affect adherence of the tattoo on the skin.

When you are bored with the tattoo simply pull off the tattoo from your dry skin. If there are any residues left, they can be removed using water and soap - that easy.
