Best temporary tattoos according to redditors

I cosplayed as Law last year as well, but this year I finally managed to get a good shot of this outfit! The hilt of my sword suffered a bit throughout the con, but the added breeze was a nice touch with the feathers, and my posing is getting better (I usually really suck at it, much to the disappointment of everyone who asked to take my picture, I’m sure). Follow me on Instagram at @black_leg_robby if you feel so inclined, and throw me an upvote on GoGo Cosplay's Anime Expo 2019 Showcase if you feel it's worthy enough (there is some really good cosplay on there)!

​

EDIT: I've been getting a lot of questions about the shirt, so I'll answer that here along with some other questions about the outfit:

• I got the shirt from Zazzle right here in navy blue, and at the time I chose the American Apparel Fine Jersey Long Sleeve T-Shirt, which doesn't seem to be an option anymore, but I'm sure the Basic Long Sleeve T-Shirt is more or less the same. I then altered it a little bit to better fit my physique.
  
• For the hat, I used the one released by Cospa as a base, and then I sewed the bill more upward, filled in the spots to better work with the seam splits while also adding new spots to accommodate said sewing, added padding to fill it out, and fluffed up the bill to make it look more like the manga.
  
• The tattoos are temporary tattoos that I printed myself using Sunnyscopa Laser Temporary Tattoo Decal Paper. Note that it requires the use of a laser printer and will not work on inkjet printers, so you must have access to a laser printer in order to use it. If you don't have a laser printer, you can easily go to the nearest Fedex Office and have them print it for you. They do make an inkjet version, but I've found that it doesn't work nearly as well (rubs off easier and the ink bleeds).
  
• For the jeans, I first created a few different stencils for the spots, and then used brown DecoFabric markers to draw them in.
  
• I got the earrings from here, and they work really well.
  
• I purchased the sword from Coswinner.com. It's a little pricey, but it's the appropriate length and is made of wood, allowing me to take it safely into the convention center. Only problem I have with it is that the damn ribbon on the hilt easily slides out of place and is difficult to put back properly. Other than that, it works well and looks great!
  
  Also, sometimes Law does smile! I do understand where people are coming from though, haha. I'm pretty sure I do have some pics of me scowling, but I definitely need to work more on that aspect of Law's character.

It's funny because practice sheets exist

I don't know anything about tattoos, but maybe it's a good idea to send him some practice skin, this is <$12 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Sheets-Tattoo-Practice-XLarge-Count/dp/B001CJSKUK

I hope he's doing alright otherwise

I mean, these exist - [Fake Skin for Tattooing Practice] (http://www.amazon.com/PFT-Sheets-Tattoo-Practice-XLarge/dp/B001CJSKUK)

Could use those as a base and do what you're describing with latex on top of that/rigid colloidal and blood. I do not know how they'll take to the details, they're made for practicing tattooing so that is their intended purpose to act like synthetic skin. It might work as a base, and it's cheap, and it's in sheets! Maybe!

Fake sleeves exist

Dermablend is largely considered the gold standard in coverage, but for something in high-friction areas like your arm you might be better off trying something like these "temporary tattoo" sheets designed to cover tattoos.

Pork bellies, baby! But nowadays they have [fake practice "skin"] (https://www.amazon.com/PFT-Sheets-Tattoo-Practice-XLarge/dp/B001CJSKUK). Then once they start on customers they should only by copying small simple flash designs until their line work and shading are solid.

edit: missing square braket

He is seriously wearing the fake tattoo arm sleeves, they are like pantyhose....

SOOO much cringe

You can get a temporary one on amazon to try it out.
https://www.amazon.com/ELLIE-TATTOO-cosplay-Temporary-waterproof/dp/B01N4NUOO1

That’s completely acceptable and I’d do the same. Recommend reusable face gems to them, they come as a single sticker that you just stick to your face and peel off all in one. It also takes a lot less time to apply one of these than to glue a bunch of glitter to your face. You can get them on amazon for pretty cheap, it’s around $10-$12 or so for a pack of 10–just look up “reusable face gems.” Something like this is what I’m talking about. The gems are embedded in the sticker part so they generally don’t fall off and won’t cause a mess in your RV.

Haha, the BF got me these because they do actually have nail decals in the package. It was a "hold over" gift because 1) he knows I love nails and 2) he couldn't wrap my actual present which was a couple's spa day! But there are a ton of other tattoos in there that are just fine for nails. This one was one tattoo that I cut in half :)

Get them some of these as a gift and help get them in touch with a professional that they can apprentice under.

The guy/gal has lots of promise.

I'm thinking about getting these :)

but on a serious note... I would love to... my wife would FREAK! and that's not what I need right now...

Not that they never did, but I know some people that became professional tattoo artists, and they never mentioned using a pig. Historically I know it's been done, but I'm not sure it happens much now, at least in the US. You're spot on about drawing a lot, and also sweeping floors (because you're an apprentice in a tattoo shop). For practice with a tattoo gun a lot of them use themselves, and their buddies who already have a lot of tattoos and won't mind a silly little token from their friend.

I would say it's more likely that in 2017 there are companies that sell some kind of "skin surrogate" to test on than using a pig (or part of a pig). Yup, one google search and here it is. I'm not sure if this is frowned upon in the real tattoo community (as opposed to the DIY tattoo community).

There are these tattoo pens that they sell on Amazon. In fact, just do a search for tattoo pens on amazon, and a few different brands will pull up.

Anyhow, these will last a little while, and you can have fun with it, see how it impacts your life, and a little down the road, you can get a permanent one if you want. Or stick with the temp pens, and change your design, every so often.

Not as good as pig skin but you can buy practice stuff online

Check into tattoo paper, you can print on it via inkjet or laser printer. You can also use tattoo sleeve

I bought all the tattoos on amazon. They came in a pack and are applied with water. Although they are difficult to get off they look fairly real in person. Here’s the link:

Tekashi 6ix 9ine temporary tattoo set

For maximum comedic effect, use a fake tattoo sleeve to cover your tattoos.

Or I suppose you could try a tubular compression bandage. They're cheap, they hold on well, and you can cut them to size.

Check into tattoo paper It is printer paper that you run through your inkjet or laser printer, that turns it into a tattoo.

Here you go :)

Thank you! They are just metallic temporary tattoos! Just something a bit fun for the summer! :) I got them on Amazon if you are interested!

They have them on Amazon for fairly cheap (https://www.amazon.com/SLS3-Temporary-Race-Number-Tattoos/dp/B07K8TGN4X) and the contrast on those is great. So refs love them!

If you are hesitant getting a sleeve, don't get a fucking sleeve. Its probably cheaper to get one of these instead: https://www.amazon.com/Efivs-Arts-Temporary-Tattoo-Sleeves/dp/B003RPYKLK

They make a practice skin to practice tattooing on. I do not know how different it is from real skin though. Seems like it'd be better than a pumpkin, that's for sure.

Ninja Edit: Found some here. Seems to be pretty cheap too.

Also found a video

One thing I should've mentioned... run this idea past your sister/MOH first, in case she's doing something already similar to this. Just say something like "I want to make a little something for everybody as a Thank You, what do you think of ____?"

And since your sister would "know" what your idea is for the rest of the girls, and because she is planning this, get her something extra or different as a Thank You :) Maybe like a necklace, fav perfume, wristlet, gift card to her fav store, OR an extra large bottle of wine haha. Besides the alcohol, Amazon (Prime, if you have) is awesome in terms of your timeline right now.

Not sure what your budget is, but here are some ideas:

Gift Bags

Totes

Temp Tattoos

Hair ties


Have fun!

Il y à ça, je ne sais pas si ça existe sans les tatouages.

:D :D

I'm so happy to hear that!! Glad my intuition was right, because I was somewhat worried that it would struck you as "see? I -do- have to hide it to be accepted/good enough".

But instead you did hear it as something that can support you, as I meant it.

As I mentioned, they come in all kinds of colors and sizes, so you can even use it as fashion accessory that compliments your clothing! :)

Edit: and depending on your personal preference, you can go beyond a single color and go all the way up to full tattoo style art:

;-D

I keep using Amazon, but others like eBay etc. will have similar product ranges. Your local sport shop might also be a good chance if you want to get a feel for the material first.

I really like wearing make up. I enjoy putting it on, I enjoy picking out new colors, and I enjoy wearing some art on my face. I wear make up at Burning Man. If you like wearing make up, and you want to wear it at Burning Man, go for it! Part of the event revolves around self expression, so do what you love!

Burning Man does present some make up challenges, but it's certainly not impossible. These are a few things that have and have not worked for me in the past:

-Get your eyebrows dyed at a salon. Seriously! Mine grow in blonde, so instead of messing with a brow pencil every day only to have your goggles rub it off, I bring my pencil into a salon and tell them to dye my brows that color. This will save you a lot of time and frustration.

-Skip the foundation. I don't personally wear powders, foundations, blushes, or concealers often, but I definitely would not wear them at Burning Man. If you wear it, you're going to sweat it off, or you're going to have to be that person who pulls out a mirror and fixes it every few hours.

-Waterproof mascara and eye liner. I saw a few people mention that the dust will turn your mascara grey, but I haven't experienced this for myself. I'm pretty diligent about wearing goggles in dust storms, and when it's not dusty, sunglasses.

-Lip stain. I'm not really a brand person when it comes to make up, but I'm definitely an amazon review person. This product had good reviews, so I ordered it for Burning Man, I got it in the mail last night, tried to today, loved it.

-Skin Care. Don't forget to take your make up off before you go to sleep. I made this mistake one night two years ago, woke up with pimples.

-Temporary tattoos. I have sensitive skin so I don't wear these on my face, but a lot of my makeup-wearing camp mates swear by them. You can use these in place of eye shadow, they last for days, and they only take a few minutes to apply. These can be simple or extravagant. I personally like these metallic body tattoos.

Hope this helps! )'(

welp, a fantasy is just that... a fantasy. it's fun to think about but actually doing it (for her) might be too scary. I wouldn't stress too much about any of this.

don't buy them yet, but they make sleeves that look like you have an arm(s) full of tattoo's. 😜

Have a bit of fun together and paint eachother with edible body paints :D

I like surprises just not a garbage bag full of angry bees please.

Practice skin. If you want to go above and beyond, and are a hopeless romantic, contact a local butcher and get her the hide of a freshly slaughtered pig. Pig skin is the closest substitute for human skin, and if she wants to be a tattoo artist it's the best medium to practice on. Maybe some incense and flowers as a stocking stuffer, because your place might smell like dead pig for a while.
