How To Add Metallic Temporary Tattoos To Any Look

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.

Just remember that some colors will look better on some people than others. You may want to take your hair color, eye color and skin color into account when choosing which tattoo you put on your skin. If you want a subtle look or you have lighter skin, you might want to think about using ones that are silver or a light gold in color. Some darker hues such as a darker gold or a copper can still look beautiful on light skin but will be more dramatic.

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.

Metallic tattoos can be applied in a few different ways. One way is for an artist to paint it on with ink. Another is to use a decal that adheres to the skin. For metallic tattoos, you may find that it is easier to use the decal style, especially if you are applying it by yourself.

If you find a piece that you really enjoy, you may want to make sure that your design will last as long as possible. You can prolong your look by making your skin ready to accept your design. Remove any dead skin cells that will flake off. Losing skin can cause parts of your design to wear off much more quickly than you would want.

One essential part of using temporary designs properly is the way you treat the backing paper. Many designs are printed on transfer paper. When it is saturated with water or oil, the design will slide off of the paper and onto the skin. Make sure you look at instructions before applying anything. That way you will have a better chance of applying the full design properly.

Picking good quality pieces is also key to having them look good. If you are dealing with websites, you may want to look at user reviews. Look at cost comparison as well as information on how long the pieces last on your skin. You can decide how long you want them to stay in place and choose pieces which will conform to those time lines.

By taking the right steps in choosing and applying your tattoos you will end up with designs that look good. They will also last longer than you may realize. It is much easier than you realize to add a little shimmer and shine to your appearance.
