How To: Fake Tattoos

by Adele

Following my post on Tattoos, (which is the 4th most popular post read this month), I received a lot of emails asking me more about the temporary tattoos I used in my post, as well as several requests for a "How To" post, so here goes...

About Fake Tattoos...
I get my temporary body art from a website called Fake Tattoos. The company originates from Scandinavia & are the number one website in Europe. They sell their tattoos worldwide, working with several designers to give exclusivity on design.

Safety...
As with anything I put on my skin, I want to know that it's totally safe to use, so have comfort in the fact that all temporary tattoos from Fake Tattoos are FDA tested & 100% non toxic.

Application...
Apply tattoo to clean dry skin, by removing the plastic cover & pressing the tattoo, design facing down, firmly on chosen area of skin


 ...using a wet towel or flannel, hold over the tattoo for at least 30 seconds


...gently peel away to reveal your temporary tattoo & rinse with water


Et voila!


Longevity...
The tattoos are designed to last 3-10 days depending on skin type. I would also add that it depends upon placement of the tattoo. For example, the Forever Young tattoo I applied to my arm lasted 10 days, however the Angels Wings on the back of my neck only lasted 4 days.

Let's see how long these tattoos last...I'll keep you posted.

For more information on temporary body art visit Fake Tattoos or you can follow their Facebook page.

Do you fancy trying?

Have a fab Thursday Lovelies

I'm more of a real tattoo person, but these are such an amazing idea!
