The way to make temporary tattoo ink is to grind up henna leaves and make it into a paste with essential oils such as lavender oil.

Or, you could skip this process and order custom temporary tattoos online.

The easiest way to do this is to upload whatever you may want made into a temporary tattoo by contacting a company that makes custom temporary. Instead of going thru the hassle of buying equipment, etc. you can just have some made for you. I added a link to an example of one.

you can use cigarette ash and water mixed into a thick liquid but in my experience it doesn't work very well. iv learned printer ink works very well. take the cartridge and stab the shine strip with a knife and then dip the needle in it

When making a homemade temporary tattoo, the following steps must be followed in order to assure the best possible results:

If choosing full color temporary rub-on tattoos printed with your own design:

  • Find a temporary rub-on tattoo printer that allows you to print just one or multiples, and gives you the choice of uploading your own design or choosing one of theirs.
  • Follow the specific tattoo printer's instructions for paying and shipment. Your temporary tattoos will be sent soon.

If choosing henna and/or jagua:

  • Choose and purchase your henna/jagua kit from a craft store or online. You'll have choices of a kit that simply gives you the ingredients and directions for applying the skin dye, or kits that have stencils or design ideas for you to follow.

If using henna:

  • Mix the dry pigment with the provided solution according to the kit's directions. You may have to wait a couple of hours for it to be ready. In most cases, you'll be squeezing the dye out through the opening of a cone, sort of like you do with frosting cakes and cookies. A paste will come out that remains on the skin for anywhere from a half hour to 24 hours, depending on your kit. When the paste wipes off, there is a deep stain in the skin. These natural dyes will fade slowly over time. Once on, they're on, but henna especially is subtle brownish red, so if you make a mistake while applying, it won't be as obvious.

If using jagua:

  • Open the lid of this natural body ink's pointed dispenser and apply to the skin.
  • Let it dry for two hours, then scrape it off. You'll see either nothing, or just very light gray. But within 24 hours your black tattoo will appear.

If choosing body paint:

  • Purchase "face paint," in craft stores, kids' hobby stores, or even some department stores. Make sure it's listed as face paint and safe for skin. Some paints may say non-toxic or washable, but they're not safe for skin.
  • Paint a design on with small paint brushes or small paint sponges, either free hand or using stencils from craft stores or free online stencils you can cut out. Have a brush or sponge for each color. Let each color dry before applying the next.
  • Once dry, your painted tattoo will stay on until it gets wet or is washed off.

If its a press on tattoo, dampen a paper towel, use it to get the spot you want the tattoo wet, place the tattoo face down on the spot, use the paper towel to hold it there for 30 seconds then take it off.

Use dry erase markers and draw them on. When you are ready to wash them off, you get a rag and put water on it and scrub the tattoo. I know because I have a temporary tattoo on right now!

Is it possible to get a tattoo done that's only temporary?

Yes. All the pain of a real tattoo with temporary ink.


How do you apply temporary tattoo?

The application of a temporary tattoo is quite easy. After choosing your tattoo, be sure to not only cleanse your skin with soap and water, but to make sure you dry it to the point of no moisture to prevent possible smearing. It is also wise to make sure that there is no moisture or oils hanging around on your skin. Then, you remove the film on the back of the tattoo and apply the tattoo face down on your desired location. With a damp cloth, apply pressure to the back of the tattoo for about 30 to 40 seconds. After about a minute, peel back the tattoo to find your design! Voila!

What materials are used to make temporary body tattoo stickers?

What does spray tan solution do to a temporary tattoo?

Depending on the oil and chemical content, they may also degrade the glue that holds the tattoo design on. To be safe, if you want your temporary tattoo to last, cover it with a bandage when getting spray tan solution applied. Then rub the spray tan around then edges of the tattoo with your fingers.
