This article provides a step-by-step guide on creating fake tattoos that look incredibly realistic. It emphasizes the importance of attention to detail, proper skin preparation, and skillful application in creating a realistic fake tattoo. To achieve a realistic effect, one should choose the right design and use a fine-tip sharpie or gel pen instead of a sketch pen.
Creating a fake tattoo is an easy and waterproof way to explore creativity and change ink as often as desired. To make a fake tattoo look real, shave the area to avoid hairs under the tattoo. Coat the drawing with baby powder, RMCA powder, and Ben Nye Final Seal to make it last.
To apply a temporary tattoo, all you need is a razor, rubbing alcohol, cotton balls, baby powder, hairspray, and a temporary tattoo sticker. Three techniques for making temporary tattoos include using an eyeliner pencil, using a stencil, and printing one on paper.
Incorporating creativity and precision in application can help create high-quality, realistic fake tattoos. To ensure the best results, follow these steps and incorporate extra sealant for added durability. By following these steps, you can create a realistic and fun temporary tattoo that will fool even the most experienced individuals.

📹 How To Make Temporary Tattoo (WATERPROOF)
Hey guys, Today in this video we gonna teach you “how to make a temporary tattoo” at home using some easy stuffs, this tattoo …
Couple of clarifications (sometimes I assume things are self explanatory, sorry that I left these out of the article 😣): 1. If you don’t like the colour or the amount of blur in tattoo, you can absolutely adjust it to be your aesthetic – that’s the beauty of Photoshop!😁 It’ll be the same techniques just tweaked to your liking. 2. I always recommend looking at reference photos. Everyone’s tattoos hold up differently, some stay more of a dark navy blue, some fade to a pale blue grey, some blur into no detail at all, some retain a lot of detail, some lose big chunks of ink (like my rib tattoos 😥), some don’t lose patches. If everyone copied this article as gospel then fake tattoos would be looking real boring, I encourage you to find and copy tattoo references that you like😊 These techniques can still be applied and then tweaked. 3. The fourth tattoo that’s meant to be 40-50 years aged is gonna not look right on younger skin. Obviously many tattoos don’t get that bad, I wanted to show one of the more extreme examples I found to show different levels (refer to point 2). 4. This is the technique most commonly used in the industry. I’ve never seen someone free hand a tattoo on set🤔, not saying it never happens but it’s not the common way people do tattoos due to how long it takes to apply (compared to 10 secs for a tattoo like this), and the added difficulty with copying it exactly for continuity. I’m gonna try the tattoo on a hairy person when I’m back in Australia, and I’ll post a article of how these tattoos held up after four days on my arm on my Instagram stories ✌️
love this tutorial, definitely using this in the future and a little note from a tattoo lover- the biggest pet peeve I with on-screen tattoos is tiny pieces with amazing detail, real tattoos that are smaller cannot hold detail when aged so if its smaller than your hand, the detail will be simplified a great bit. Not a big deal just something I’ve noticed!
I love your articles! Thank you so much for always putting up such professional articles. I’m a make-up artist myself and i already did a few hand drawn smaller tattoos and for a film once we used temptu alcohol transfer tattoos which also look pretty awesome. I’m just always asking myself how they do it when theres actual arm hair or chest hair over a tattoo.. cause for the transfer paper u also need to shave the parts u wanna put the tattoo on, right? If it’s a lot of hair at least.. thank’s and hey from germany
