Trying to find that right tattoo that you are really gonna like can be very hard at times, especially if you really don't know exactly what you want. You really have to make sure on the design you choose, because once you get the real thing there is no turning back unless of course you get it covered up or removed. So many of the temporary tattoos on the market today are very cheesy and look so fake to the eye, but with the water slide tattoos they look very appealing and can last anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks. This way you can actually see how the design you picked out will look, the colors are vibrant, and the quality is really good.

This temporary water slide tattoo is a special tattoo paper designed for you to be able to create any kind of tattoo you see on line, your own custom art, art work, pictures, logos etc. This special paper works with ink jet or laser printers only. To print and get one of these water slide tattoos you have to buy laser/ ink-jet tattoo paper and also the adhesive to go with it. This will run you around 20 dollars or so, which is so much cheaper than the real deal if you aren't really sure what you want yet.

To print one of these tattoos simply choose your design follow the instructions for regular printing. Make sure that you allow the printer sheets of the removable tattoo to dry completely before you touch it. When you go to place the tattoo paper into your printer make sure there is no other paper in there. Try not to bend your tattoo paper when placing it in. After a few minutes when the paper is dried remove the first side of the adhesive sheet and very carefully apply it to the printed side of the tattoo set. Make sure you get all of the air bubbles out to assure better results. Then take a pair of scissors and cut out your tattoo very carefully. Try to get as close with the scissors as you can to the tattoo. Now apply the tattoo to a dry area on your body make sure that area is free of all oils, perfumes etc. Press down firmly for at least 40 seconds or so allowing the tattoo to stick to your skin. Then grab a wash cloth or a sponge slightly dampen it place onto tattoo for another 40 seconds. Once you can see the tattoo clear remove the liner to show your new tattoo. This temporary tattoo will definitely give you a great and very accurate look of what your design will like it. Most people will not even know you are wearing this fake tattoo at all, that's how real they look. They will not harm you in any way also great for kids, teenagers, or even parties.
