TEMPORARY TATTOOS!

These aren't the smeared and blurry Cracker Jack stick-ons from your childhood! Get professional quality and real-looking temporary skin art.

Fake tattoos used to be really cheesy designs rendered in unrealistic colors that went on with a hit-or-miss quality and then sort of looked crappy even if you'd done everything right. But not anymore. Today's temporary tattoos are used in television and movies where they have to look like the real deal, and sometimes they look so real they are used to apply fake wounds and skin effects too.

A temporary tattoo is a great way to have a little fun on a special day or for a holiday event, to show team or school spirit, or even to take the idea of a real tattoo for a test drive.

How Real-looking Can a Fake Tattoo Get?

The Tattoos of PRISON BREAK Set The New Standard

This is as "real-looking" as a fake tattoo can get. The full torso and sleeves created for actor Wentworth Miller, who plays Michael Scofield in the hit television show PRISON BREAK, have really raised the bar on fake tattoos.

Designed by tattooist Tom Berg and translated into makeup by makeup artist and theatrical tattoo specialist Christian Tinsley, this full upper body design is created by applying a series of decals and then touching up the effect with makeup to make the various panels appear seamless.

It's been reported that the entire tattoo shirt can take between four and five hours to apply if multiple artists are working on the process. Made from extremely thin plastic-like material, the appliques can then last over a week with care.

I have a real tattoo, but I have also seen some great fake tattoos out there, so if I wanted a new one, I think I would most probably go for a fake.

Magna says:

Do Your Own Temporary Tattoos

Using special makeup paints or with stick-on skin decals, you can make your own tattoos. Sometimes customizing a stick-on temporary tattoo will work. Other times, freehand skin art might be what is needed. Here are some kits to help you create your own temporary tattoos.

The ReBirth of the Modern Movie Tattoo

Most of the movie tattoos you can see done during the 60s, 70s and 80s are very simple and fairly dark in color. Even the work worn by Robert DeNiro in the remake of "Cape Fear" is somewhat cartoony. Most folks who wear quotes on their skin make them large enough to read, but not large enough for a camera to read, a fact that lends a very obvious fake air to the villain's skin art.

Temporary tattoos went from looking like clumsy stick-ons to "whoa, is that real?" with the 2002 movie "xXx" starring Vin Diesel. Not only were the tattoos worn by his character Xander Cage hip and street-smart, but it was the good guy wearing the ink. The temporary tattoos in this movie were also done by Christian Tinsley.

Tribal-style tattoos tend to be very popular in movies, as they are big, bold and one color, such as the dragon tattoos on Matthew McConaughey in "Regin of Fire" and a big tribal sleeve on George Clooney in "From Dusk Till Dawn."

Fake Tattoo Sleeves

arm warmers/sleeves and shirts that make you look tattooed

Here's a great temporary tattoo option: tattooed arm sleeves! These are either shirts with tattooed sleeves, or arm warmers that have been made of a sheer material to look like skin and then printed with tattoo designs.

Crystal Tattoos

Q: Can you tell me what a crystal tattoo is?

A: Since tattooing specifically refers to ink inserted into the skin layers, this isn't really a "tattoo." What is called a "crystal tattoo" should really be called a decal, for it is a stick-on design made up of rhinestones. Sometimes they are made up of individual adhesive-backed crystals and sometimes they are sparkly strips that peel up and apply in one piece.
