Materials:

-Set of markers(alcohol based,permanent; I use Sharpie and BIC(*will go into detail in step 4))

-Tattoo Pencil(can use Fine Tip Sharpie as alternative)

-Alcohol(50% or higher)

-Alcohol based deodorant(SpeedStick)*optional(make sure it's clean!>.<)

-Q-tips

-Tracing Paper

-Scissors

-Baby Powder(loose colorless powder; basically, a little makeup powder)

-A towel(tissue paper, or any soft absorbent cloth or paper is fine)


Step 1:

-First get a drawing what you want as a tattoo.

-Trace the art on a sheet of tracing paper(use the tattoo pencil or Fine Tip Sharpie when tracing)

-When you're done tracing, use the scissors to cut out the drawing

-Just cut off a little bit(leave about 1/2 inch around the drawing itself)

You now have your tattoo stencil.


Step 2:(If using deodorant)

-Take the deodorant and slide a little on the area you want the tattoo to go

-Don't put a lot, just a thin layer that coated evenly
*if there is too much, just use a towel and wipe off the deodorant and start the coating again (if there is too much, the Fine Tip Sharpie will loose it's ink)*

-Don't let the deodorant dry


Step 2:(If using alcohol)

-Take your alcohol and apply to the selected area

-Apply enough so that the skin will still be moist (don't let the alcohol dry on you)


Step 3:

-Take your tattoo stencil(the drawing on tracing paper), place it on the coated area, and press gently but firmly *do not move the stencil around or it'll be screwed up*. The stencil should transfer.

-Gently peel back the stencil

-Use your towel to dab away/ gently wipe away any excess alcohol or deodorant

-Take your Fine Tip Sharpie and trace the stencil (on your skin)


Step 4:('coloring', the best part)

-Right now pour some alcohol(I recommend you pour it into the alcohol cap)

-Get some Q-tips ready

-Get your markers in the colors you want to use for your tattoo

-Take your markers and line the inside of the tattoo(don't color the entire tattoo; a little goes a long way)

-After you have lined your tattoo, get a Q-tip a dip it into the alcohol

-Use the Q-tip to blend in the colors, just gently blend them(if you rub too hard and the color comes out a little, then just put a little more)

*I use both Sharpie and BIC; Sharpie because it blends really well and the colors are more realistic; BIC brand can be used as ANOTHER alternative to the tattoo pencil and Fine Tip, and this is for more heavy coloring*


Step 5:

-After Step 4, take your Baby Powder(loose powder) and sprinkle some onto your tattoo
-Use your fingers(or brush) and rub the powder on the tattoo *This makes it look like it's under the skin*
-The last step is to show it off!


*I didn't get it perfectly the first time I made my tattoo (Ichigo Tattoo), but with practice I got better; So if it didn't come out the way you wanted, then just practice*
*If it's going to be your first time, then try with something small. Then later move on to bigger stencils*
*the tattoo should last up to 5 days depending on how hard you scrub when you shower*

-Ask questions if you don't get something
-Take a picture of your 'ink' and send it to me, I'll add them to my gallery(you will receive credit)

Don't do it too often

Have fun~*
