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.

There are several different types of tattoos that can be applied on a temporary basis. Many people like the look of henna, which is a paste that is applied to the skin. The top cells are stained and the piece develops over time into a rich brown color. If you want a metallic look, you will need to either apply a decal to the skin or use metallic inks to paint on the surface of your skin.

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.

If you are using a paper-backed piece, you need to saturate the paper so that the design lets go and sticks to your skin. It can be easier to place if you cut away the excess paper around the pattern. Then, you can hold the design against your body in the area where you want it to sit.

You can find these pieces in many different places. One of the best places to look is online. There are websites that are dedicated to temporary tattoos. They will likely have a wide selection of metallic options. You may be able to find sheets that have multiple designs on them. These can be a great value.

Adding temporary designs to your skin can be a fun way to experiment with fashion. Just remember to balance your clothing with your accent piece and you too can have a fun and functional look no matter what you are doing.
