Fashionable And Fun- How To Use Metallic Temporary Tattoos Properly

By Beryl Dalton


One of the easiest ways to play with your appearance is with make-up. While cosmetics can be fun to experiment with, you may decide that you want a more exaggerated look especially when you want to stand out in a crowd. Many people think that metallic temporary tattoos are just for young people or for when you want an extreme look but this is not the case. Here is what you need to know to add these fun accessories to any look.

One thing to think about first is your skin tone. Some metals look better on certain skin tones than they do on others. Some will also be more obvious on certain skin tones as well. For example, if you have lighter skin, a tattoo that is silver or a very light gold will be more subtle than one that is copper or dark gold.

Your look is going to also dictate the size of the tattoo that you are putting on. The thickness of the design and the size of it will influence how subtle it is. If you have an outfit that is very colorful or dramatic, you may want to add a tattoo that is more subtle. This will keep your look from being too outlandish or cartoon-like. Likewise, if your outfit is more monochromatic or it is more plain, you can add something which is much more visible and dramatic without unbalancing the way you look.

Although there are different types of temporary tattoos, most of the metallic ones on the market will either be put on with shimmery paint or will be a design on a transfer paper back. Henna can also produce temporary body art but it is much harder to make henna designs with metallic accents. If you want to add stickers or metallic elements however, you can do so quite easily.

Preparing your skin properly is a critical step when you are adding a temporary tattoo to your look. The first step is to clean the area where you want to put the tattoo. As part of the cleaning process, you will want to lightly rub the area in order to remove dead skin cells. Lotions will cause problems with the application of the piece so it is best to simply dry your skin.

Tattoos will usually come with application instructions. Take special note of how to prepare the backing paper and what part to apply to your skin. This can help ensure success when applying your piece and make it look as good as possible.

The internet is a great source for tattoos. Look on websites that specialize in these items. Another good source to look for is any site that has fun cosmetic products. They may have affordable designs that you will love to play around with.

If you have a flare for fashion, you will likely wish to consider temporary skin art. Keeping your overall look in mind when choosing where you will place these pieces will help you achieve a look that is fun and beautiful without being too overdone.
