temporary tattoos

is it possible to make temporary tattoos at home?

Yes! There's special tatoo paper. Wal-Mart has it with the iron-on/sticker/window cling/magnetic paper. I can't remember off the top of my head which brand I used...but I'm guessing it was the Avery brand.

Yeah...I do it all the time. It's pretty much just like doing the iron-on transfers (if you're including words I think you need to flip the image), so not too complicated.

so you CAN make tattoo's out of clip art? how long do they stay on? what type of printer do you use?

Right! I just use my regular ol' ink jet printer from Wal-Mart that I use for school--nothing fancy (I think it was literally the cheapest one they had). I know I've had them on for like 10-12 hrs before--they still look great when I go to take them off and could definitely have stayed longer, I just don't feel like being tatooed permanently :) Hope this helps...if you have any more questions just ask
