Print Your Own Temporary Tattoos
Do you remember the temporary tattoos that came out of the gum packs? It was thanks to them that those of us who spent our childhood in the 90s got acquainted with the temporary tattoo, which was not very aesthetic.
Although if you don’t like bubble gum, you could always find someone in seaside towns who would draw a smiling dolphin or a tribal butterfly on your arm. Unfortunately, this path, which you took thinking that you would be the coolest among your elementary school friends, would have resulted in you being alone with your tattoo of a fading Tasmanian monster that decayed and turned into a terrible dirty color for two weeks.
If you still think of these childhood traumas between the ages of 6-12 when you think of temporary tattoos, it’s time to give yourself an update. Because temporary tattoos have changed a lot since then. With the 90s generation, they also matured. So much so that everyone from Beyonce to Cara Delevingne loves them. Even Dior adorned her models with temporary tattoos at the Spring 2018 fashion show. Well, if they’re good enough for Dior, you might as well give them a shot, we guess.
How to apply a temporary tattoo?
After choosing a design you like, all you have to do is take the drawing printed on a transparent sheet and paste it wherever you want, then press it with a wet sponge and wait for a while. Are you dissatisfied with the result or bored after a while? There is no need for painful and expensive laser operations to remove your tattoo. You can get rid of it by wiping it with a little baby oil in 6-12 days. This means that you don’t even have to think twice to get your summer love’s name written on your body.
Even better, temporary tattoos don’t carry the risks of permanent ones. Temporary tattoos, which are produced entirely from non-toxic materials, are completely harmless besides the risks of permanent tattoo needles such as disease transmission and allergies. Some brands even use herbal ink. The fact that they are painless creates the opportunity to use them even on sensitive points where permanent tattoos are not preferred.
What are the trends in the temporary tattoo world? There is none here! Temporary tattoo artists, who make innovations every day, from scented to silvery, watercolor-looking floral designs that you can’t distinguish from the real thing, and ink-like designs, seem to never think of hindering their creativity. Let’s take a look at a few trends we found most interesting…
Scented temporary tattoos

Nail tattoos
According to Instagram, we have a new trend like the cherubimic: nail tattoos. In fact, unlike nail art designs that have been with us for a long time, nail tattoos are made using permanent tattoo methods. But in the end, we think they deserve to be on this list, since your tattoo will leave you as your nails grow and cut.
