Custom temporary tattoo

logically

Hi all,

Was thinking of offering a temporary tattoo service in Dublin. Basically, you would bring your custom tattoo design to me and I would then produce it as a temporary transfer which you could apply yourself to see what your design would look like before actually getting it done. Would this be worth offering as a service?

like something you get in bubblegum when you were a kid or airbrushed on?

logically

not airbrushed as it couldn't be self applied then.

it's closer to the bubblegum method but higher quality. the temporary tattoo is applied with use of spray bandage and then a damp cloth. basically, any design in colour or black and white can be produced on the tattoo paper which is then applied to the skin. more than 1 design could be put on the page so you get the opportunity to apply different designs and see what you like or have it in different sizes too.

it sounds like a good enough idea and I'd certainly avil of it....what kind of money would u be talkin about?

and what are the allergy factors?

logically

price would be under 10 euro for a sheet. The spray bandage you would have to get in the chemist. Should be around 5 or 6 euro for a bottle of that but I might look at providing it also.

Re: allergy factors. WIth the application of 2 coats of spray plaster before adhering the temporary tattoo I would hazard a guess that there is a tinier chance of having any allergic reaction in comparison with a fully inked tattoo....

wow that sounds very good. What sizes can you go up to?

You would probably be better off offering this as an option within a tattoo parlour, people wont neccesarilly go to a completly different shop to get something temporary and then to another shop to get the full one done

Id suggest to have a look at the Tattoo and Piercing places in Ireland sticky in this forum and give them a ring, have a chat with the tattoo parlours and try and get in there.

I'd think that's great idea, I'm sure Tattoo and Piercing places would like to offer this type service.

Up to A4 (21 x 29.7 cm approx) but for larger sizes the design could be printed across multiple sheets.

You'd make a fecking killing at festivals, just look how many people bought Henna's at Electric Picnic.

Actually I got a Henna two days before I went and got real tat of a similar image.

it sounds like a brill idea, i want one now!
i guess u'd have to make sure that the spray on plaster thing would be 100% see thru and not affect the colour of the image once it's on the skin. oh and think them spray plaster things are nearer the €10 mark but ther's probably loads on the market now...

I agree totally 100% with this idea. Excellent.
