Review on 🎨 Silhouette Temporary Tattoo Paper (2 Pack): Create Fun and Temporary Body Art by Brandy Powell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great way to make your own or try real ink

I can't even remember why I bought these four years ago but I forgot about them. I have some new tattoo ideas that I wanted to test out for size and placement so I took these out of the box. Easy to use. I don't understand the problem to be honest, but I've been using temporary tattoos for a number of years. This is a two step process to get the tattoo sheet ready to use. Print on a "rigid" sheet with an inkjet printer, then peel off the adhesive sheet, align it on the printed side, and stick it on the printed side. It's like you put a transparent layer on it. I don't have a cutting machine so I just used scissors and cut as close to the design as possible. Anything that isn't printed has a clear, very thin, cloth-like "shine". Not super glossy, but barely visible at the edges. I took photos to show this edge up close. I've been asked several times if I'm going to get a new tattoo, because you can't see it at first glance! In my photos, one has my dog's paw print (he recently passed away) and the other has some symbols. Tips: 1. Try to fill in as much of the 8.5x11 paper as you can, or find the smallest sheet your printer will accept and cut it out. Looking back, I should have put more pieces on my first sheet. 2. Don't leave a lot of blank space on the tattoo as it will be a little visible and look less convincing. The characters were designed like this strip, but I realized that any clean areas wouldn't look as good, so I cut them out and attached one at a time. 3. Increase the saturation of color images because they are transparent, your skin tone serves as the background color, and increasing the color intensity makes them stand out better. I'll add a color image later. 4.Clean the skin with medical alcohol and then dry it completely for better and longer-lasting adhesion. They don't stay on dirty or moisturized skin. Also, trying to apply them to areas of the body with a lot of hair is useless. Try a hair remover or a razor if you can, or opt for a less hairy body paste lol. I've had a paw print on the inside of my forearm for two days and it hasn't come off yet! I love these and plan to buy more.

Pros
