Washable Tattoos

Posted in Tattoo designs on June 27th, 2006

Wearing tattoos can be fashionable and trendy, but not all people like the idea of having their skin permanently marked by a tattoo, particularly when they know that the chosen design or symbol can generate unexpected results, including seclusion and banning from particular groups or activities.

When there is a situation, in which a tattoo is not convenient or desirable, washable tattoos are an affordable and temporary option. These types of tattoos are also convenient when you have in mind getting a tattoo, but you are not totally convinced of what you want or how the chosen design will look.

Washable tattoos are particularly useful when you are designing your own tattoo assisted by your computer, or when you have found an interesting design or picture on the Internet that you would like to try. Almost anywhere, there are available temporary tattoo paper kits sized 8.5″X11”, which include packs with 5 to 10 tattoo adhesive sheets for your printer.

Almost any printer driver allows you to select a transparency media with normal resolution and adjustment of the colors, often with pre-visualization, to find the right contrast and effect. These sheets act like washable tattoo transfer adhesive, easily removable with warm water or tearing off, although some persons can develop allergic reactions wearing or removing the tattoo.

In addition, pregnant women or those nursing a baby should not wear this or any other washable tattoo, such as Henna tattoos. Henna tattoos are the traditional tattooing art from India, where washable tattoos are called temporary tattoos, usually consisting of complex designs to decorate hands or feet of individuals participating in festivals and religious celebrations.

Contrary to printed sheet tattoos, Henna tattoos look realistic and do not deteriorate with use like occurs with the transfers, and close in quality to airbrush tattoos, all of them different forms of washable tattoos, that kids also wear, calling them “fake tattoos”. Airbrush Tattoos are the most realistic type of temporary tattoos, which are applied with a stencil placed onto the skin.

Lines and color are airbrushed onto the skin, a technique that remains intact for a whole week, after which the colors begin to fade. Whatever, your choice of washable tattoos, the number of designs to choose from is only limited by your own imagination. Wearing a washable tattoo allows you to “test the waters”.

This phrase is particularly true when it comes to trying a design that may cause you acceptance problems, like symbols associated to Satanism or determined gangs. Washable tattoos are also recommended when you want to wear the name of your girlfriend or boyfriend but you are unsure of an everlasting relationship.
