For those who want a beautiful tattoo but without the pain, cost and wrong end result.
Steps
Step 1. Choose an image you like
Note: Make sure it's an image you can draw. If you want a very complex design, perhaps you should go to a professional.
Step 2. Study it carefully
Make sure it's exactly what you want.
Step 3. Choose the color you want for the tattoo
Step 4. Thoroughly clean the area where you are going to get the tattoo
Step 5. Rub a "warming" cleaner around the area
Step 6. Take the permanent marker (preferably Sharpie) of the color you want
Write and pat with a tissue after each stroke, so the ink does not expand. Keep a face makeup remover on hand, in case you need it.
Step 7. Take a long look at the tattoo
If that's exactly what you want, go ahead. If it isn't, start over.
Step 8. Dampen a paper towel (not the same one you used before) with a refreshing toner to close the ink-soaked pores (looks ugly, but makes the ink last longer)
Tap the area with the tissue. Test first to check that the toner does not remove the ink.
Step 9. Continue scrubbing the area until your hands are clean, the area is dry, and the ink stays in place
If the ink smears, use a makeup remover to clean.
Step 10. Keep doing this when the tattoo starts to fade, that way it will last longer
Step 11. If you are one of the least art-inclined people, try this
- Draw the image on the paper with heavy ink.
- Place the image on the skin.
- Rub alcohol on the image.
- Keep scrubbing until you can see the image. (It is used as a mold)
- Now trace the outline and then return to the details. The hairspray will make it last longer.
Advice
- Make sure the tattoo is in an area where you can draw it. If you want it, for example, on your back, ask someone you trust a lot to do it for you.
- When testing to see if it smudges, test the outside of the design and expand it with outward strokes. If you test the inside of the design and it smudges, you won't be able to clean it with makeup remover.
- Fine-tipped Sharpies are best, but coarse-tipped ones are also fine for coloring large areas.
- Use a Sharpie a couple of shades darker than you want in the final result.
- If you are a drawing professional, you can try copying your favorite image.
- Japanese characters are very popular in tattoos, and there are some that are very easy to draw.
Warnings
- This method has been tested and does not always work correctly.
- Some people are allergic to permanent markers. If you're not sure if you are, make a small mark on the back of your hand (or somewhere more hidden) and check for any rashes.
