All the tattoos were done freehand....*cringe* as I still 5 years into this have trouble with symmetry. You would think being an engineer and after allllllllll the drafting classes I have had I'd be better at this...lolol smh. I found a tattoo pen at the craft store to do the initial outline, which is great because if I make a mistake easy off. I then do the whole thing in the tattoo paints dust with some powder and there ya go.

yippieeeeeeeee cheers

I am gonna try and pick up some tracing paper and try it as a transfer for the more difficult and detailed designs

These are awesome Changing. I kind of have a dumb questions cause I'm still new to all of this. What are tatoo paints? Do they differ from regular FP?

by ChangingFaceDesigns Fri Mar 25, 2011 10:13 am

The tattoo paints are activated with 99% alcohol and are designed to last several days. So far on their own they've lasted about 3-4 days before really wearing off. I figure I could probably prolong the look by using my Ben Nye Final Seal or hairspray

Wow!! Beautiful! Is the tattoo paint expensive?

by maggie Fri Mar 25, 2011 10:37 am

WOW Changing! I love them bounce

So I had no idea what they were, This is awesome!

by LillyW Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:08 pm

Wow! good job! I use the Temptu tempory tat paints. But these seem much brighter.

Hmmmmm. But, now that I have invest over $200 in the pallettes, I just don't want to try another brand ::::sigh:::::

Still, I really like the colors you got.

Those are great, Changing. I especially love that cross. What kind of tattoo pen did you get? I experimented with a watercolor pencil the other day and it worked pretty well for making a with tracing paper, then there's no alcohol involved in doing the transfer itself.

I just received the metallic Temptu palette Jacana posted in the swap area of the forum and the colors are gorgeous. It looks like she only dipped her brush in about 2 of the colors, otherwise, brand new. I am off work today, so I am going to try something with it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one doing these because the info about using these paints is practically non existent, even from the companies that make them. I

Many of the fixatives/sealers actually dissolve the alcohol based paints so test on something you don't care about first - what we tell people to prolong them is that it is based on position (not somewhere that gets rubbed by clothes or other parts of the body), avoiding soap/oil/lotion in the area, and powdering (with no color or baby powder) multiple times a day (morning/evening) including before and after getting it wet. Mom had one last 18+ days - it was looking a little worn at that point though so she took it off so someone didn't think it was freshly applied looking like that. I kept one 3 full weeks before forgetting and washing it off in the shower.

I've been told that layering another patch of "clear" (ie no pigment) ink overtop will last longer (because that has to wear off first), but I haven't tried it - mostly because my clear ends up having a pigment added to it to make something specific Smile

by Psalmbook Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:41 pm

Wow! Those look great! I love the cross!
I'm curious, how much do the cost & what exactly is the pen? I've wanted to do something like this for adult clients.

by fluttersby Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:44 pm

I read on another forum (I think it is a tattoo forum, they have a section for temp and airbrush tatts) that you can spray liquid bandage over them. It has to be one that does not have alcohol in it or it will reactivate the paints and make it bleed or run. The one they recommended was Nexcare and it is a spray. They all agreed that it was hard to find and the only place some of them found it was either online or at Sam's club, and at some pharmacies you it is behind the counter and you have to ask for it. I'm going to try it when I find some. I wonder what a thin layer of body glue would do?

by ChangingFaceDesigns Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:50 pm

Well I sprayed the rose with some CHI hair spray so we will see how it goes.

Flutter I can't wait to see what the metallics look like.

Lilly, the first time I used them they didn't appear bright at all. I thought at first that it might have been a waste of money, but I tried it a few more times and I found I was using too much alcohol to paint ratio. You truly need very little. So I finally figured out how to work it and the colors really do come out very nice. I really really like them now.

Can't wait to try out even more designs at the JAM tonight.

Think I might have to keep the one I got from Jacana in the swap shop just for me....and purchase another one to use in my working kit.

Lilly if you havea pic with the Temptu metallics would you please post it so I can see what they look like???

Thanks
Tamara

aah..who needs symmetry! those look great!...I especially like the rose!!

by fluttersby Fri Mar 25, 2011 4:34 pm

Yes, you do get brighter colors with less alcohol. You also use alot more paint, but the brighter colors are worth it. I've tried it both ways. A thinner, more transluscent layer sometimes looks more like a "real", but I've also noticed that alot of the newer "real" tattoos are getting alot brighter. I like the bright ones. I am still so much in the trial and error with these. Now that I have the "inked" palette, which I really dont like much, it has like 3 different greens in it to mimic old school biker and military tattoos and the colors are not bright, because I guess, like I said, most of the older tatts are not bright. The metallic ones look brighter in the palette, so I am hoping they look better, even if there aren't any real metallic tatoos, or at least I haven't seen any. Well, I am off to try out the new metallic paints.

Sorry, folks for having to cut out earlier on the discussion but I had to get to an event...didn't realize the time. smh @ me

Flutter the pen is from ac moore and it's called a tattoo marker pen, comes in different colors. I had a 50% coupon so I figured I'd give it a try. I would not use it to do an atual design, because 1) using too much it tends to bleed 2) not water resistant

I got it just to do an inital outline, so if I make a mistake or want to change something I can easily wipe it off.

I still have yet to try it out on tracing paper to do as a transfer, will definitely do so this weekend.

My daughter and her friends are all stoked about these, got more volunteers then I need....lololol Hmmmmmmm maybe I'll say in order to get a tattoo you must let me paint your face.....how does that sound??

Linda I got this palette from jacana in the swap shop.....(Thanks Jacana) but the Kryolan BIC palette sells on SF for $60.00 and I think the Temptu are $69.00, and the BIC acivator is like $6.00

I hope I answered everyones questions

You know what Michelle.........I like the way you think.......... who needs symmetry, I tried it ...it doesn't work for me......so not gonna worry about it anymore.

by michellesfantasyfaces Fri Mar 25, 2011 5:23 pm

just create an A-symmetric designs.always very beautiful! Smile

by fluttersby Fri Mar 25, 2011 5:55 pm

Changing, that sounds like a better pen than I got, even though it is sold as a tattoo transfer pen. I just took the lion painting off of my thigh and I cannot for the life of me get the purple outlines from the pen off. I hate it. I will not use it ever again. They were only $5 for 3 of them, but the shipping was $6. Oh well, trial and error. Yours sound better, if they come off with water.

by Amanda Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:12 pm

I have a gig in a month to do temporary tattoos, and was going to get some Colorini Inks that I have seen before... does anyone know how this type of tattoo paint compares?

by ChangingFaceDesigns Fri Mar 25, 2011 10:50 pm

Flutter do you have ac moore where you are? I really like this pen...so far.

That being said, I still hope to get over to the tattoo parlor this weekend and talk to the guy that did all my tats and see what he recommends.

stay tuned..........

Nice work! I get a lot of boys who want an alternative to glitter tattoos and are disappointed that their design painted with regular face paint won't last.

OK so the flower tattoo finally faded out today, buttttttt I think it was do to my spraying it with hairspray the other night. I did noticed shortly after spraying it that it did look a little faded to me. I thought at first it was just the film from the hair spray.

When I sprayed it the colors did not run or bleed at all, but it did cause the colors to wash out some. Didn't rub off on anything.

So I guess it is safe to say that without spraying it I could have gotten another day out of it.......making it a full 4 days of wear on the inside of my wrist.

Lessons learned hairspray bad................let's see how we do with the Ben Nye final seal.

Oh and I did one on my daughter a dragonfly at the base of her neck last night about 11:30 p.m. she was tired and went to bed. Well it did smear a bit because it was not completely dry and I forgot to set it with powder.

It wasn't that bad, so I was able to go over it and fix it.

by Lauri Strandell Sat Mar 26, 2011 4:36 pm

Tamara, thanks so so so much for the great info and I can't wait to go shopping! and so inexpensive! Please let us know after you talk to your taattoo guy....
What is the brand of your pen, maybe I can get it online?

Just went to sf and cant figure out the right product. can you post a photo of your kit?

by ChangingFaceDesigns Sat Mar 26, 2011 11:32 pm

Here are 2 new pics with the tattoo paints........lololol can u tell I love this stuff???!!!!

Both done freehand from my tattoo book. 1st one a butterfly and the next a little baby turtle I did on my daughter. Hers might look a little hazy in the pic...dumped a little too much powder on it. It did eventual brush off tho after I took the shot.

Changing, what kind of powder do you use to seal it? Do you just dump some on, or use a poofer or something? Anyone know if there are any videos out there demoing how to use this stuff?
