It seems like body art is everywhere these days. If you want to add patterns to your skin but don't want the lifetime commitment of a permanent tattoo, you may want to try some of the temporary options available. If you love the idea of adding some sparkle and shine to your look, metallic temporary tattoos may be just what you need to complete your outfit. Here are some tips you can use to add these items to your personal style.

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.

If you are just getting started with these items, you might want to try a smaller sized piece. They can be easier to apply and you can used to putting them on in a way that is wrinkle free. There are also pieces that are made up of individual segments. These can also be great starter designs for you to try. This is especially true if you are working alone to put them on or putting them in an area that is not as easy to reach.

Although there are different types of temporary tattoos, most of the metallic ones on the market will either be put on with shimmery paint or will be a design on a transfer paper back. Henna can also produce temporary body art but it is much harder to make henna designs with metallic accents. If you want to add stickers or metallic elements however, you can do so quite easily.

Preparing your skin properly is a critical step when you are adding a temporary tattoo to your look. The first step is to clean the area where you want to put the tattoo. As part of the cleaning process, you will want to lightly rub the area in order to remove dead skin cells. Lotions will cause problems with the application of the piece so it is best to simply dry your skin.

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.

The internet is a great source for tattoos. Look on websites that specialize in these items. Another good source to look for is any site that has fun cosmetic products. They may have affordable designs that you will love to play around with.

If you have a flare for fashion, you will likely wish to consider temporary skin art. Keeping your overall look in mind when choosing where you will place these pieces will help you achieve a look that is fun and beautiful without being too overdone.
