Time out for tattoo talk


You’ve been working on a cool design and saving up for your first tattoo. Now it’s time to find a reputable studio and artist who will transfer your artwork from paper to skin. Tattoos are designs on the skin made with needles and colored ink. Getting “inked” is a major decision. Keep in mind that a tattoo is effectively permanent, and although it is possible to remove a tattoo, the process is expensive and painful.

“Go to an established tattoo shop, and ask questions when you go there,” says Mike Martin, vice president and health and education coordinator for the Alliance of Professional Tattooists. “With all your power, avoid going to somebody’s house for a tattoo.”

Fortunately, more and more states and counties are regulating tattoo studios and artists. But all too often, says Martin, tattoos are done in kitchens and garages, because tattoo equipment is inexpensive and easy to obtain. Getting a tattoo from unsterile equipment and inexperienced artists can put you, and the artist, at risk for life-threatening infectious diseases such as hepatitis or skin infections caused by certain bacteria. Martin advises tattoo seekers to do their homework. Find a legitimate facility and ask for a tour — the shop should be neat and clean. Don’t be shy about talking to the artists about safety procedures.

“Ask whether they have had training in bloodborne pathogen and safe tattooing techniques,” Martin advises. “And ask if they use disposable products such as disposable tubes and needles and if they have a working sterilizer on the premises to clean their equipment.”

Once you’ve received your “ink,” follow all of the aftercare instructions provided by the artist. Always make sure you wash your hands before and after you touch your new tattoo until it is completely healed.


All About Temporary Waterslide Tattoos


"Everything you could ever want to know about waterslide temporary tattoos."

Why do people use temporary tattoos? There are too many reasons to list, but here are some of the most common. Most people just like to wear a tattoo for fun or to play a joke on a friend. Others use temporary tattoos to experiment with styles and locations before getting real tattoos. Women wear them like jewelry to accessorize their clothes. Sometimes they are used to cover a scar or old real tattoo. Children wear them to feel “grown up”.

How they are made?

Waterslide temporary tattoos are a specialized version of "waterslide decals" that are printed on sheet-feed printing presses. They are printed on decal paper, which is a heavy paper coated with a water-soluble gel. After the image is printed, a medical grade adhesive, similar to that on adhesive bandages, is applied over the image so it will bond to the skin. A special clear plastic sheet is placed over the adhesive side of the tattoo to protect it during transport and storage, again similar to what you find on an adhesive bandage. There are many variations in the actual printing process that can affect the final quality and cost of a temporary tattoo.

Japanese Paper Tattoos are manufactured with a different process that produces a more realistic appearance and lasts two or three times as long as traditional tattoos. These are the only tattoos we rate as premium grade.

Cautions to be aware of: The FDA has issued warnings that many manufacturers are not using FDA approved non-toxic ingredients. There is a risk of skin irritation with those products.

What makes quality tattoos different than budget tattoos?

Very few "manufacturers" actually print or control the printing process of the tattoos they market. When temporary tattoos first appeared in the U.S. in the eighties, the emphasis was on quality art and production that resulted in a realistic look for the tattoo. As interest in temporary tattoos grew, new suppliers entered the market, and cost became a major factor. This resulted in tattoos targeted to price points rather than quality. Many temporary tattoos in the market today are of poor quality and use bad artwork. Some are little more than stickers that stick to flesh. Others will only last a few hours before cracking or flaking off. In some cases they are not printed using FDA approved products. We strive to carry only above average and premium quality tattoos.

How long will a temporary tattoo last?

The average time for a temporary tattoo to look good is three to five days, but some people report as long as two weeks. Several factors contribute to how long the tattoo will last. Obviously, the quality of the tattoo is a major factor.

Assuming quality is equal, here are several things that affect the life of the tattoo. Natural body oils break the tattoo down over time, and rubbing from clothing wears on them from the surface. My wife can apply identical tattoos on her cleavage and ankle. The one on her cleavage starts breaking down in just a day or two, but the one on her ankle still looks good a week or so later. If you want your tattoo to last for the maximum time, you should make sure the area where you apply it is very clean and free of any oil. Clean with alcohol for best results. Avoid contamination with oils, perfumes, etc. Apply your tattoo in an area that won't be excessively rubbed by your clothing. Bathing can extend the life the life of the tattoo since that washes away oils. Wash gently with non-oily soap and pat dry. Skin type varies from one individual to another. Try an experiment by applying two tattoos of the same quality to different areas to determine what you can expect in the usable life of a temporary tattoo. Read our detailed application & care page for more information on this subject.

How do you test tattoos for quality?

We use "real world" testing to determine the quality of temporary tattoos from various manufacturers. We apply the tattoos and evaluate how well they bond to the skin and how easily the backing paper releases. We evaluate the appearance of the tattoos on flesh. Then we wear the tattoos until they degrade. Finally, we evaluate how difficult or easy it is to remove them. Based on the results, compared to our reference for above average and premium quality tattoos, we rate the quality. We only consider tattoos that rate above average or premium for addition to the Funtoos line.

Gaining Very Useful Information About Personal Development


There are many people out there who can help with getting you to understand yourself better. There are many great professionals, friends, and teachers that can help you understand your thoughts and discuss your feelings.

Start an emergency fund. Without such a fund, you may have to rely on credit cards or high-interest loans to deal with sudden expenses or emergencies. However, you can protect yourself from this happening by depositing a few dollars into a savings account each week. You will be surprised at how quickly your emergency fund will increase. You can get your debt moving in the right direction (that is, downward) by making use of that fund instead of credit.

When most potential employers look at your education history, they look at the degree that you earned, not the school that you attended. A few exceptions do exist to this rule. If you are considering a career in politics, with a large law firm, or for an established hospital, then a well-known school might benefit you. However, the important thing is to get a good education and increase your opportunities.

Evaluate yourself and seek out that one aspect that you wish to change or improve. You may wish to improve several different things about yourself, but you are more likely to succeed if you stick to one self-improvement project at a time. In addition, this enables you to make slow and gradual changes to your actions, perceptions and behaviors, increasing the likelihood that these new concepts will eventually become second nature.

Making yourself number one, and not overextending yourself, is very important. This doesn't mean that you should only think of yourself, especially if it hurts others, but you often have to put yourself first or no one else will. If you remain true to yourself while honoring your personal code of ethics, you will be better prepared to develop yourself more fully.

Eliminate any disorganization in your life. Organizing things will give you the feeling that you've accomplished something, and increase your confidence levels as well. You are going to have the additional benefit of the stress relief that organization gives you. When things have a place and are organized, you will feel calmer in your surroundings.

When trying to battle depression, focus on diet and boost your complex carb intake. If you are not getting enough carbs, you might have a low serotonin level. Increase your consumption of fresh fruits, raw vegetables, nuts, brown rice, assorted beans and whole grains to have a diet that is enriched in complex carbohydrates.

Self discipline is a requirement for successful personal development. You should strive to control your temptations and increase your self control. Conquer desires of the flesh, such as, overeating, lust, greed and drunkenness. If you can cut out the negative aspects of your personality you'll find your entire being becomes healthier and happier.

It is important that you get in touch with your real self and your desires. Be kind to yourself and be honest, you will better enjoy your life.



A Temporary Tattoo by Any Other Name


So, what exactly is a temporary tattoo? In our industry, we think that, to qualify as a a temporary tattoo, the tat has to last a minimum of one week — otherwise it's a transfer or a temp tat, which comes off with baby oil or soap and water.

If one is able to rub off a temporary tattoo, shouldn't that be called something else, like a "drawing" or "painting on the skin," the way airbrushing works? I know I'm being picky, but let's call a temporary tattoo a temporary tattoo — and everything else something else!

Could it be that all these other art forms (which amount to a variation on a temp tat) are merely jumping on the bandwagon, renaming themselves something they're not, just because real, honest-to-goodness temporary tattoos are so popular? In fact, when henna temporary tattoos became recognized as the temporary tattoo to end all temporary tattoos, that term started being used as a de facto way to describe all the other ways one can adorn oneself with a temp tat. So, aren't these other temporary tattoos being dishonest? I'd like to put Mr. Airbrush on trial and see if he holds up!

And I won't name names, but what about those lick-and-peel deals that dare to call themselves temp tats? I mean, come on. Anything that a 5-year-old would consider a temporary tattoo just isn't mature enough to be termed a true temporary tattoo. Call me a purist.

And now comes jagua , another bona fide temp tat, which passes the real temporary tattoo stress test with flying colors. Now that I think of it, I'm going to add that, not only does it need to last one week or more to qualify as a temporary tattoo, it should also be natural (I know, I know, I'm upping the ante). By "natural" I mean it should be made with a plant or fruit dye. Yes, it is body ink, which sounds manmade in a lab, but isn't; and ink, as long as it isn't inserted under the skin, is a temporary substance. As far as we know, henna and jagua are the only known natural sources of ink that stain the skin for a period of one to two weeks, and then disappear completely.

Now, you might ask, what about those "semi-permanent" tattoos that occasionally call themselves temporary tattoos (when they can get away with it)? I have a real problem with them too! Not only do you get to experience the pain of a permanent tattoo application when these supposed temp tats are applied — they are created with a bona fide tattoo gun — the evidence that they actually do disappear after a few years is iffy at best. Let's refer to a permanent tattoo as a permanent tattoo — it's certainly not temporary! — and call it a day. If you're up for the also-painful experience of laser tattoo removal, this could conceivably have your "semi-permanent" (a/k/a "not-so-temporary" tattoo) fall into the category of a real temp tat; but let's face it, that's a stretch.

Super Hot Word and Literary Tattoo Design Locations





One of the biggest trends in tattoo designs is going to be word, literary and written tattoos of popular and cool quotes or sayings. There are many different names for these styles of tattoos but essential they all feature one major growing trend in tattoo designs and that is the trend of the written word.

Word Tattoo History
Of course word tattoos have always been around. A tattoo that features some lettering artwork is often less expensive and pretty easily done and therefore it has always been a pretty popular option. However, words were typically used as an embellishment to the main course so to speak. In other words (pun intended) the graphic artwork of the tattoo design always took the center stage in the past. The only real exception to this rule was a memorial or gang related design. Other than those two usually the words were simply to convey the meaning of the picture or the design of the tattoo and the words were never really thought of as the design itself.

As in everything in the world design trends change all the time. So it is with word and literary tattoo designs they have gone through a massive change. No longer are words just seen at the bottom of a large graphical tattoo design but now they are the main feature. These tattoos often feature very large sections of writing and large fonts with huge cursive lines and beautiful embellishments. These are incredible beautiful font tattoos that often feature a famous quote, a famous poem or a song lyric.

Popular Locations For Women
This trend has been picked up by men and women alike. Just as many women are getting their tattoo quotes as men. Some of the more popular locations for women to get such designs are a bit different than men.

Ankle Tattoo Designs – Since the ankle is relatively small it does not provide a bunch of space for a large format tattoo. Thus it often becomes on of the top chosen places for a small written word. These are often cute delicate tattoos with lots of embellished fonts that can wrap around the ankle.

Wrist Tattoo Designs – Wrist tattoos are a lot like ankle tattoos in terms of features and benefits of the location. Just like ankle tattoos the wrist is small, often a great place for a single word that curves around the wrist. Also hands and wrist are a feature that often get noticed so a well planned and well placed wrist tattoo will get a lot of attention.

Hip Tattoos – Hip tattoos are well (excuse the pun) but hip. Anything but on the hip is popular and sexy. This most definitely includes a fancy written tattoo design. If you choose a larger quote or poem and can find the right font to convey the meaning of the poem or saying then you have one great hip tattoo design.

Rib Cage Tattoos – Of course rib cage tattoos can be in a variety of locations but the side of the rib cage is one of the hottest locations right now in design trends. Traditionally people were a bit reluctant to get this area tattoo as it can be a bit painful since the skin and bone are close together. However, more and more people are getting rib cage tattoo design these days and many of them feature a quote, saying or word tattoo.

Popular Locations For Men

Shoulder Tattoos – The shoulder has been a popular location for getting a tattoo design for men for a long time. It is not very painful as there is a lot of tissue between the skin and the muscle and it is rather small. This makes a great location for a small saying or quote tattoo design.

Upper Back Tattoo Designs – The upper back is another great choice and location for a large word tattoo design. Since the back is large it provides a big canvas for the tattoo artist to work on. The larger the size the more detail they can add into the tattoo design.

Side Tattoo – The rib cage and side is a very popular area these days to get a tattoo design inked. It offers a pretty large area to work on so the design can be a lore more intricate and full of detail. Some of the most popular choices for this area for guys are quotes, song lyrics and of course ambigram tattoo designs.

Forearm Tattoo – If you have been consider a location that is different, unique and ultra cool you might want to consider getting your literary tattoo design done on your forearm. This size and shape of most forearms are basically rectangular which lends itself to large word designs that are big and bold.

These are just some of the more popular locations that you can get a saying or word tattoo done on your body. It is not an entire list of locations but it shows some of the most popular options. If you are still considering getting a word, saying or quote tattoo make sure you spend the time and research carefully. You want to find the right quote and equally as important you want to find the right font to ink the design.

Why Do We Really Get Tattoos?



It is the first morning of our vacation. I wake up bright and early and trot down to the ocean where I make a shocking and bone-chilling discovery: I am the only personage on the beach whose epidermis is unadorned with tattoos. Everyone is inked up except moi. According to the FDA, more than 45 million Americans are now tatted up. This past weekend, they all hit the Florida beaches and pointed jeering tattooed fingers at yours truly. To these folks I am a combo of loser and nemesis, a rebellious nonparticipant in their sick and twisted cult.

I see myself rather differently. From my untattooed point of view, I am the last heroic holdout. I’m like Charlton Heston in The Omega Man, that movie where he plays the one remaining normal person on Earth, and everyone else has gone all ghoulish and ghastly.


The trend for tattoos is not exactly breaking news. But in the last few months, it seems to me that tats have gone from fad to raging unstoppable pandemic. David Beckham, for example, used to have a bit here and a bit there, but now the majority of his upper body is inked. Those of us who follow the annual March Madness NCAA basketball tournament—my husband is a devotee—will have noted this year’s staggering proliferation of tats.

But the new extreme inking is by no means confined to the sporting set. Everywhere I look in Florida, I clock old geezers with hammocks and the word “Margaritaville” emblazoned across their burly sun-blasted torsos. Chicks, too: Today I saw a superannuated South Beach swinger boasting a tarantula on her right shoulder. Every time she hoisted her sippy cup to her lips the spider jiggled. And it’s no longer just a class thingy: I even saw tats at the legendarily WASP-y Bath and Tennis Club in Palm Beach. OK, so they were on the leg of the car-park valet, but just you wait. Next year, the old broads in the canasta salon will be sporting radical ink. Mark my words.

In the past there was one reason, and one reason only, to ink up: A tattoo confirmed your status as a scary outsider rebel carny outlaw sociopath. “Don’t mess with me because I am insane,” was the intended message. And it worked. Remember Robert Mitchum in Night of The Hunter? When he cuts Shelley Winters’ throat we are hardly surprised: We knew trouble was on the horizon as soon as we saw the words LOVE and HATE inked across his knuckles. Tattoos meant mayhem.

Cut to today: Having a tattoo has lost its original meaning. Having a tattoo now has no meaning. Having a tattoo means that you have a tattoo.

While there is no longer any compelling reason to get a tattoo, there are several reasons not to:

Tempus fugit. Sitting around for hours while some dude enlivens your back with lotus blossoms, ghouls, and moonbeams is a colossal waste of time. You could be learning to tap dance or play the accordion.

Money fugit, too. Most tat artists charge about $150 per hour. A full sleeve can take 40 hours. Bingo! $6,000, plus another $6,000 for laser removal when you hit late middle age and it’s gone all crepey and is no longer recognizable as a dragon but looks more like a squashed squirrel. You went from being the girl with the dragon tattoo to the old hag with the squashed-squirrel tattoo, and it only cost you $12K and hours of agony.

Wilkommen, bienvenue Hep C. There seems to be no limit to the horrid medical conditions which are associated with tats. Aside from all the usual blood-born suspects, new research suggests that certain inks do horrid things to your lymph nodes.

Tips for Word and Phrase Tattoos



The popularity of word and phrase tattoos continues to rise. Unlike large portrait or common design ideas, simple script tattoos can be placed in visible areas for daily reminders of sentiment, inspiration and strength. While there are no hard and fast rules to these simple forms of body inscriptions, the following tips for word and phrase tattoos with ensure you're inking a statement worthy of repeating, over and over again.

1. Spelling
Before tattooing any tattoo or word phrase, make sure the spelling is correct. Capitalize any words that need to be capitalized and ensure the words are otherwise perfect. There will be no changes later so think twice and ink once. This is especially important as well for other language tattoos. If you are tattooing something in a foreign language or a symbol, make sure it is accurate and depicted properly. Cross-check your resources first.

2. Placement
Because the body shifts and changes shape with weight changes and aging, it's important to place your word or phrase tattoo somewhere safe that is less likely to experience variations in weight fluctuations or the effects of gravity. The inner wrists and ankles are safe bets for word tattoos and also allow your to read them on a daily basis, which is sort of the point.

3. Size Matters
Aim to make your tattoo visible and readable from at least ten inches away. You want the letters to be large enough so that as your skin changes, sags or shifts, your tattoo is still visible, easy to read,and still resembling a word rather than a blob of ink. If you need to go larger in scale then be prepared to either shorten your phrase or change the placement. Nothing is worse than a tattoo that can't be understood so make your words count and make them large enough.

4. Have Meaning
Verse, phrase and quote tattoos should bear some significance and meaning in your life. Consider quotes from your favorite books or movies, perhaps a part of a poem or anything else that will serve a greater meaning than just a popular phrase that you may grow tired of later. Don't pick anything trendy or speak in slang. Try to make your quote or phrase tattoo as personal as possible. If you need to wait till that phrase comes to you, then by all means wait. Bear in mind you may not be looking for a phrase at all, but perhaps maybe a simple word tattoos such as believe, hope or love.

5. Find an Artist
Lettering tattoos are very different from portrait and picture design pieces. It helps to take your time to find an artist that really specializes in the form of art. Skill level is important with all tattoos, but lettering and font tattoos beg for attention to detail. References and local recommendations in your area will provide the first step in finding a talented tattoo artist that can make your words eternal.

Tattoo Ideas: Words & Shelley Jackson's SKIN Project



Although certainly not a new concept, the use of typography (lettering) in tattoo designs has exploded in popularity over the past decade or so. Shelley Jackson's "Skin" Project, Ineradicable Stain, is a movement that has been in progress since 2003. Jackson, a previously published author, decided for her next book to put out a call for volunteers who would tattoo the manuscript on their skin, one word per participant. The novel will not be published anywhere in book form, but will be known only to the volunteers who will each receive one copy upon completion. The term completion, however, is up for interpretation. When Jackson first launched her website and proposed the idea, she stated that if not enough volunteers came forward to complete the first (and only) edition, then the incomplete version would be considered definitive. The words are assigned to volunteers at random, depending on the order in which potential participants sign a release form. The assigned word may be any size but must be tattooed in black ink in a classic book font. The word may be placed anywhere on the human body as long as the volunteer did not receive a word which names a body part. In this case, he or she can tattoo the word anywhere EXCEPT on that body part. (For example, the word "hand" can not be tattooed directly on one's hand.)

She also explains on her website that the participants are not carriers of the text, but are the words themselves, the embodiment of a concept. Any procedure that would later seek to cover up or remove the ink would be considered to alter the work and change the meaning, but only the actual death of words would remove them from the text. Jackson went so far as to say she would make an attempt to attend the funerals of her words. Sounds self-righteous? Perhaps it is, and maybe it seems as though Jackson is removing the autocracy and agency from her participants -- but that hasn't stopped 2,095 volunteers from coming forward.

Here are some examples from Shelley Jackson's SKIN project, along with a few others who are using the art of writing to convey a message best expressed in words rather than images.

Get Motivated And Become The Person You Have Always Wanted To Be



There can be many obstacles to the real happiness that comes from personal development, but there are many wonderful tips that can help you overcome any obstacles in your path. Take a good look at the tips in this article and find the ones that will help you progress and achieve success.

You can help yourself battle depression by making sure your diet is filled with enough complex carbohydrates. Studies show by not getting enough complex carbohydrates, you may lose serotonin which can cause depression. Make sure your diet is filled with fruits, vegetables and foods made with soy to avoid this.

When it comes to personal development, be sure that you hold your values in high esteem not only to yourself but also to anybody that might challenge them. This is important because in order to come across as a strong person you need to stand up for what you believe in because that is what makes you who you are.

Do something everyday that gives you pleasure. You can get caught up in your day-to-day responsibilities and go days without doing something that you truly enjoy. Start now, by making a list of the things that you really like to do and commit to finding time in doing them. You will be much better able to handle the rest of your life, if you know that you will also be enjoying yourself, part of the time.

Develop a daily routine. Those who are organized and live life with a loosely structured daily routine are better able to be successful. By getting into the habit of doing certain things, you are able to make decisions that pertain to your life and help yourself be more effective personally and professionally.

Gaining insight into who you are is extremely important. By knowing exactly who you are, your likes and dislikes, and what you truly believe in will take you far in terms of personal development. You will be able to express more confidence and not stand for things that you know are wrong for your life.

Learn how to be proactive instead of reactive. The great leaders in the world, see a challenge ahead of them and prepare to meet it, or even beat it, well before it occurs. Most people don't live this way. Most react to problems as they come up and then find themselves so buried in immediate needs that they can't focus on the future. Learn to be proactive and you will free your time for personal development.

Take control of your body. When you want something, ask yourself if this is something that could make you happier or something that your body needs. For instance, smokers often experience the need to smoke a cigarette and yet they do not feel any better when they are done. These desires are controlled by the body: learn how to recognize them.

Putting these tips to use will take you closer to the real happiness that you deserve. Your personal development will be enhanced if you choose even one of them to make your own. There is no need to let any of the obstacles in your way, prevent you from achieving success.

Testing a Tattly: Temporary Tattoos Created by Professional Designers

Why do so many people inject ink into their skin at considerable cost and with much discomfort? Why would any rational being want to indelibly mar their otherwise pristine bodies? And why, knowing the inevitable ravages of age, would they want to inflict self-imposed discolored blemishes anywhere on their extremities?

If not for my wimpy squeamishness, I could see getting a tattoo image that represents something near and dear. I cannot say what the allure is, but the tattoo as a personal statement appeals to me on some deep level. Akin to soldiers wearing medals and fruit-salad over their hearts, tattoos symbolize accomplishment -- if only endurance of the vibrating needle. Still, I am terrified by needles of any kind (even sewing), and pain is not a favorite either. So unless forced by evil powers to do so, I am not likely to have a permanent tattoo. But a temporary one? Well, that's a thought.

And now thanks to Tattly, a new line of temporary designer tattoos, I see the possibility of body decoration in my future.

Tattly is a venture by Tina Roth Eisenberg, the designer and design blogger known as Swiss Miss. A native of Switzerland, her site and Twitter feed are followed by thousands of young designers, and her curated "Creative Mornings" talks by known and up-and-coming industry professionals are extremely well attended. With such a targeted audience, she is in the perfect entrepreneurial trajectory for making and selling design-things, of which temporary tattoos are high on her latest list.


What triggered this venture occurred when her five-year old-daughter, Ella. would come home with temporary tattoos. They would "send a shiver down my spine," Eisenberg told me. "Cheaply designed, clip-art graphics, bad typography, you get the idea. I found myself complaining about them, over and over and realized that I can either continue complaining about it or change it."

As a consequence, she reached out to designers she admires, presented them with the idea of designing for "skin" and, within a day, had dozens of submissions in her email inbox. "My idea was welcomed with a lot of excitement," she reported, "I knew I was on to something." From idea to launch of site, it only took two months. Now she's making a profit.

Although Eisenberg acknowledges there is silly element to this, it is also fulfilling a curious, indeed primal, need both to make and wear. Even I have been wearing one for a few weeks that says "MAMA" set in a swirling swash type (designed by my wife, Louise Fili).

Each week, Eisenberg issues four new designs. "We have lots of designs in the pipeline as is and don't really accept submissions," she noted. "We might change that. People really, really want to send in submissions."

When I made a passing comment that Tattly was a novelty item -- a designer's version of the pet rock -- Eisenberg was quick to to take umbrage: "I think of it more like an accessory. Accessories change, adapt to the times and fashion trends. So do we." Okay, granted that Tattly is an accessory, would people wear temporary tats?

"Why do people wear bracelets or fancy hats? It's a form of self-expression," Eisenberg explained. "Plus, temporary tattoos let commitment-phobes toy with the idea of having a tattoo. Some of our folks just want to freak their parents out. I personally just want to feed my inner child."

Is this a sideline or an entrepreneurial stepping stone? "It's just the way I function," Eisenberg concludes, hinting that she needs to get back to work. "I see something that I want to fix and I do it. I am a maker at heart. I coudn't find the right office environment so I created it. I couldn't find the right to-do app, so I made my own. I wanted a more accessible conference-like event, so I created one. My daughter wore ugly temporary tattoos, so I started Tattly. I am just a very pragmatic person."

Tatty is a pragmatic way for neophytes to test the tattoo scene. Problem is, so far mine has been difficult to wash off.

How To Effectively Develop A Good State Of Mind 


Pursuing your personal development may be a great experience that helps you feel more in control of your own life. You will need to know some ways to stay energized if you want to successfully achieve your goals. Some of the advice you'll find below might be just what you need to kick off your personal development routine.

Think of yourself as a person instead of a body. You don't need to wear the newest fashions or be the hottest. What really matters in life is your true personality. Instead of making cosmetic changes, put more effort into improving your inner self.

Do not push yourself over your physical limitations when trying to achieve a goal. Although striving may be what fuels your accomplishments, you need to know when you are exceeding your own boundaries. It's still important to care for your body while focusing on goal achievement in other areas. Ignoring the needs of your body is guaranteed to set you back when you are trying to improve.

Read books that promote your sense of well-being. Whether it is a religious book or a favorite novel, find a book that inspires you. Having something that you can easily turn to when times get tough and you need encouragement gives you a better mind set, and helps you handle your life better.

Understanding that you are worthy of the best will help you to reach your personal development goals. Know that you owe it to yourself to do your best. Think of your personal development as a lifestyle change and continue making new goals for yourself.

Take the time to find out what parts of your life are truly important, and concentrate on doing your best in those areas. You will find an increased inner peace if you do not dwell on the past or negative encounters, and choose instead to think and act on positive experiences.

Seeing a counselor or therapist can be beneficial. They are trained to help you with issues, and also are experienced. Their job is to listen to you and your concerns and help you gain a new outlook on your situation. Discussing your problems in a safe environment with a licensed professional, can really make all the difference and leave you feeling much better.

Don't use shopping as a comfort technique. Shopping your stress away, or "retail therapy" as some people say, is really more of a stress inducer, because it distracts you from the stress for a while but it all comes back with big bills and interest charges when the bills come in.

Start giving other people compliments. Instead, show kindness and compassion for others and you will see how much better you will feel about yourself.

You can stay focused and filled with energy as you work toward your personal development goals by following a few or all of these tips. It may be hard and take a great deal of effort, but you can work on your self-growth knowing you have gotten some excellent advice to help you.

How To Meet Your Personal Development Goals


Self help tactics come in a myriad of forms. Sometimes they require tremendous effort and energy just to stay focused. Sometimes, however, all we need to do is implement small and more gradual changes, changes that require much less energy but that in the long run accomplish the same purpose.

Value what is important to you. We have been raised to make compromises, but why should you conform if it makes you unhappy? Break your old habits and follow what really matters to you. If something is really dear to you, organize your lifestyle around it and make compromises in favor of what matters to you.

Using everyday things in your environment as positive tools will energize you toward your personal development goals. Listening to your favorite song may add ten minutes to your workout time or put you in the mood to spend an extra half hour plugging away at a project. There are a million little things in our lives that influence us in such a good way that they can mean the difference between achieving or not so utilize each of them to your advantage at every opportunity.

Do what you can to stop nagging people if that is a habit that you have. This does nothing but annoy everyone and it makes you appear both unprofessional and someone nobody wants to be around. If you need something done or something is not done correctly, speak nicely to the person and express what needs to happen. They'll appreciate the kindness and will most likely try to fulfill your request because you did not irritate them by nagging.

You should become worthy of the goals and accomplishments you would like to achieve. This means that becoming a stronger, better person will make you feel even better about achieving new levels of greatness. If you feel you truly deserve a goal, you will push yourself even harder to achieve it.

What are you good at doing? Maximizing your potential is pertinent to living a healthy and full life. It is imperative that you don't let cobwebs grow on your talents and let opportunities pass you by. Take a stand and get involved in activities and causes that fit your niche.

Feeling sad is not any way for a person to live but you do not need to turn to drugs to lift your spirits. Stop and have a dinner or lunch that includes turkey or salmon or any other food that contains high level of protein and tryptophan. These are naturally going to help you turn that frown upside-down.

To achieve your goals you need to recognize what motivates you. Although advise from others can be helpful, do not be surprised if what works for them does not work for you. Once you realize what motivates you, you will be able to set up an award system for yourself that will help keep you focused on your goal.

If we truly desire to change, we must depend on ourselves to effect that change. Indeed, we have to make deliberate and calculated efforts to insure it. Anything less only assures our failure. The steps delineated above pave the way towards change. It is up to us to follow that pavement.

 

Tattoo Removal - Options and Alternatives to Tattoo Removal


There are a lot of reasons for possibly wanting a tattoo removed – the positive element of tattoo removal is that you are no longer burdened with a tattoo you seriously regret. If a tattoo is holding you back from getting a job you want or keeps you from attaining goals you have set for yourself, a little pain and scarring may be worth it to you. If you have a gang-related tattoo and are no longer associating yourself with that gang or any gang (good for you!), it would be in your best interests to have it removed. If you have a tattoo that symbolizes hate or prejudice, I hope that you will decide that it is time to let it go. If you are wearing a tattoo of a past love and now you have a new special person in your life, it would be unkind to your new love NOT to get rid of the old tattoo.
If you have a tattoo that you wish to have partially or completely removed, you should first consider your options and decide which method might be best for you.

Laser Removal
Today, lasers are the most common method of tattoo removal. They work by targeting the ink with pulses of highly concentrated light that break the ink into tiny fragments, which are then cleared away the your own immune system. However, this isn’t all done with just one treatment. The more treatments you have, the more the laser can penetrate to destroy the ink. But, the more treatments you have, the more damage you do to your skin, causing painful blisters and scabs that can eventually lead to scarring. Experts in removal therapy say that technology has advanced to the point where scarring is minimal, sometimes non-existant, but this can vary depending on the situation.
On top of being physically painful (it has been described as feeling like being splattered with hot grease), laser removal can be painful to your wallet as well. Depending on your tattoo, you may need anywhere from 1-10 sessions, each costing in the range of $250-$850 per session. A large, professional tattoo in color could cost thousands of dollars to remove, and the effectiveness of the removal still isn’t guaranteed.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy, or IPL, is a dermal enhancer currently being used in some spas. Instead of laser light, it uses high intensity light in pretty much the same manner. A gel is applied to the skin and then a wand is used to emit pulses of light onto the skin area being treated. This method is said to be less painful and more effective than traditional laser therapy, but there are many tattoo removal experts who do not recommend IPL. Even if it does work a little better, the bad news is that it also carries a heftier price tag – one clinic offering a price of $10 per pulse. Depending on how many pulses per session your tattoo requires, this could add up to a significant amount of money.
Other Medical Methods
There are other methods of tattoo removal, but most of them are so painful and ineffective that laser removal replaced them as soon as it became available. These other methods include dermabrasion, which would actually “sand” away the top layer of skin through abrasive friction. Another method is excision, where the tattoo would be cut away and the skin sewn back together. These methods have proved to cause much damage to the skin and result in severe scarring, and are only used today in extreme cases where laser surgery is not an option.

Do-It-Yourself Cream Removals
I have not personally tested any of the at-home cream removal methods I have seen advertised – even the ones that appear right here on this website. Honestly, I would not expect a whole lot from them. However, the Tattoo Removal Institute  (which I am suspicious of being connected with Tat B Gone, but I can’t prove it yet) states that they have tested a few of these products, and found a couple of them to live up to their claims. According to their research, both TatBGone and  Tattoo-OFF did show significant fading of the tattoos without any pain or damage to the skin. I am still very skeptical, but if you really need a tattoo removed and don’t have the money for surgery, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try one or both of these products. It’s not chump change, though – a 2 month supply of Tat B Gone is $125, and it takes several months to get the desired results, according to the Tattoo Removal Institute. A 2 month supply of Tattoo-OFF is $116.95. So, it isn’t inexpensive by any means, but certainly a lot more affordable than laser surgery. But before you shell out any money for these products, you might want to read some of the comments that have been sent in by people who have tried them.

Important Self Help Advice That You Can Follow


The greatest way to help you develop personally is to educate yourself on the subject. Read on for some great tips on developing yourself to become a better person.

Silence your worries. Worrying is simply focusing on something that hasn't happened and letting your fears take over. Instead of worrying, consider the worst case scenario, and start taking concrete steps to address that worst case. This provides you with the relief of having a game plan, so you can can feel less anxious and focus on other important matters in your life.

Consider your personal character attributes when determining what you want to change. Your aesthetics can be changed quicker than your personality can! You don't need to wear the newest fashions or be the hottest. However, the personality you cultivate will be the one thing you are ultimately judged on. Try to improve yourself from the inside rather than the outside.

Exercise is for all people, not just someone looking to lose weight. The physical reasons for exercising are numerous. When you exercise, your body makes a variety of chemicals that assist in relaxing you.

Do you drink a lot? Are you a smoker? What activities do you engage in that have negative effects on your body? Your body should be treated with the utmost respect. Eradicating negative behaviors is key to leading a better lifestyle. Look at how you are living your life, and check if you are participating in any negative habits that should be eliminated.

You need to have an emergency fund. Even the slightest unforeseen event can send a person's finances spiraling into free fall. Even if you can only save $10 per week, do so. It will come in really handy when something goes wrong. This fund will help you stay out of debt if you have to face an emergency.

An important part of personal development is bettering your health. You need to not only eat right and exercise, but maintain the motivation to do these things day after day. If you make your health the priority, you will likely feel your best, which makes contributing to the different aspects of life easier.

You may reap great benefits by conferring with a therapist or a minister. These people are experienced and will know what to do in your situation. They will help you figure out what things are bothering you and what you can do to sort them out. When you can talk out your issues with a licensed professional, you will find your life will be much happier.

Go out of your way to give other people compliments. Fighting this trend and complimenting others changes your mindset and makes you a kinder person.

As previously mentioned, furthering your personal development involves increasing your knowledge. It is also important to apply this knowledge. There are perhaps limitless ways in which one can grow as a person. The more you're able to apply the advice in this article, the more confident you'll feel as a person.

 

Removable Tattoos an Attractive Option


Thinking about removing that tattoo of your ex-girlfriend’s name from your arm?

While lovers come and go, tattoos are intended to be permanent. But as more consumers get tattoos, there are also more people eager to get rid of them.

Roughly one in four adult Americans has at least one tattoo — and 17 percent are considering getting rid of theirs, according to a survey published in the September issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

Now, one company has found a way to make tattoo inks that, while still permanent, are also easily removed. The company, Freedom-2 LLC, will make the special ink available next year.

This new type of ink is injected into the skin in the same way as conventional tattoo inks. However, it is only permanent in the skin until the owner changes his or her mind. With a single pass of a laser, tattoos composed of this special ink can be safely and fully removed.

The new technology is the result of a combined effort by a team of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Duke University.

 

Removal of Conventional Tattoos Time-Consuming and Costly

Conventional tattoos are typically removed with laser technology. However, laser treatments are costly and time-consuming, and complete removal is sometimes not possible.

“Conventional tattoo removal takes multiple visits,” said Dr. Charles Taylor, director of Khosrow Momtaz Phototherapy Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. “Professional tattoo artists use heavy metals in their tattoo inks. For example, blacks have iron, blues have cobalt. Heavy metals are fairly resistant to current laser technology.”

And certain characteristics of the tattoo can also affect how difficult removal will be. Dr. Sandy Tsao, associate program director for procedural dermatology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, said the type of ink that is used, along with the age of the tattoo and the skill level of the artist involved, can play an important role.

 

“These three factors determine how many treatments the patient will require and the eventual cost,” Tsao said. “On average, a professional tattoo requires about eight to ten sessions, spaced six to eight weeks apart. The average cost per treatment ranges from $250 to $400.”

This means the tattoo that might have cost you a couple of hundred bucks to get will require a few thousand dollars to remove.

Aside from the time and money required for conventional tattoo removal, there are a number of well-known risks associated with the laser tattoo removal procedure itself.

“The treatments can be painful, and they generally require a topical anesthetic,” said Tsao.

During the period immediately following laser tattoo removal, some of the expected side effects include scabbing and crusting, which can last between a week and ten days, Tsao said.

“The biggest risk is having a permanent loss of your normal pigmentation, almost similar to having a negative impression of the tattoo image on the skin,” she said. “Tattoo removal can also lead to scar formation, sometimes.

“There is an increased possibility of scarring if the tattoo is located on the ankle or the upper back because these are scar-prone areas.”

 

‘Smart Pigment’ Allows for Targeted Destruction

Unlike the conventional counterparts, the company says that its new ink is specifically designed to be removed by a laser.

Fast And Easy Ways To Improve Yourself




Whenever times get tough, it's tempting to revert to old behaviors and coping skills that do not necessarily do us any favors. Personal development is an ongoing process of learning new ways to cope and bring strength and peace to your life. The following tips can help you get started on your way.

Identify the attitudes that you have about who you are. Bad habits stem from bad values which stems from bad attitudes. If you can identify the negative attitudes you have and work to change them you will improve the kind of person you are. With this improvement, you will develop more on a personal level.

One of the most important things about personal development is to set achievable goals for yourself. Setting goals that are unreachable will only make you feel discouraged and inclined to quit trying to reach them altogether! Take an inventory of what you would like to accomplish in your life, set a few goals, and watch your dreams become reality.

Do not be afraid to try new things. If you want to try something, you probably know deep inside that you will like it or not. When someone is pressuring you into trying something, you should think about what you really want to do.

Avoid negative news sources to improve your personal development progress. A consistent positive attitude is vital for maintaining motivation and reaching your development goals. If a news source that you view regularly tends to spoil your mood, do your best to cut it out of your life. Check such news sources only when you absolutely must.

With regards to personal development in the professional field, be sure that you check your emotions at the door. Often times decisions based on emotions can cause you to think or choose contrary to what your knowledge or logic would determine. It is also unprofessional to show too much emotion.

Having self-defense skills taught through martial arts will help your personal development. Martial arts teaches you to remain calm and face what you fear. It will also give you the confidence that you can tackle things you never thought possible. That confidence alone will help you become the best person you can be.

Take time out of your busy day to listen to what your mind and your body are trying to tell you. If you stop for a little while each day, you are going to find that there are many things that your body is telling you that you were not hearing before, and you can make changes to improve the situation.

When you've made a mistake, think of what you might tell your child or your best friend if they had done the same thing. Many times people can be tougher on themselves than anyone else when it isn't necessary. Be as gentle with yourself as you are with others when they make mistakes, and you'll feel better about yourself.

Happiness and peace are a state of mind that everyone would like to inhabit, but coping mechanisms from long ago may not be getting you the state of mind you are seeking. Developing yourself through avenues such as your senses and your intuition allows for a deeper sense of self and the peaceful state of mind you seek.



Word Tattoo Ideas for Girls




What comes into your mind when you think of tattoos? A cool design, some nice strokes, and some bold colors? But there is a new trend catching up these days..., the tattoo lettering trend! There are many guys and girls that are getting words inked on themselves instead of a full on symbol or design! I, personally, feel that word tattoos have a more clear and intense significance in them. I mean, a tattoo design is attractive too, but then inking words that are imprinted in your mind and soul, sort of gives the whole tattoo a different look and feel.

Another amazing thing about word tattoos is that they attract more people towards them as everyone wants to read the entire set of tattooed words to know what it means, which in turn makes people take a peek into your inner values and beliefs. On the other hand, in case of tattoo designs people may just look at the beauty of it and complement you for the same. We also know that it is human to judge others based on their appearance. Your tattoo speaks a lot about yourself. So, inking words or quotes that you stand by and which have helped form a basis of your personality would be a good idea! This article will help you get some good word tattoo ideas for girls as it proceeds further.

Many word tattoos for girls that I have come across are mainly reminders..., reminders that help them recall again and again, that they are born with a distinct personality, and in no circumstances whatsoever, should they let it change! So, what word tattoo are you inking?

Celebrity Tattoos and the Stories Behind Them



Celebrity tattoos. They’ve become so commonplace that it's almost rare to see a celebrity who doesn't have one peeking out from their sleeve or their gown.

But have you ever stopped to wonder about your favorite star's tats? What they mean, why they're there, or how they've affected lives and careers? Sometimes, the stories surrounding these markings are more interesting than the designs themselves.
We researched a slew of our favorite celebrities to bring you the tales behind their tattoos. Have a look below.



Rihanna



Every time we turn around, it seems Rihanna has a new tattoo. One of her most visible is located underneath her right clavicle, reading "Never a failure. Always a lesson." As Rihanna explained during an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," it's printed backwards so she can read it whenever she looks into a mirror. "It's basically saying that it's OK to make a mistake," she added. "Just don't make them twice."






Angelina Jolie
Jolie sports a variety of tattoos all over her body, but perhaps her most famous markings are on her left shoulder. What was once a loving tribute to her second husband Billy Bob Thornton (complete with a dragon) was removed to make room for a list of geographic coordinates. These coordinates, of which there are seven, correspond with the birthplaces of each of her children (Cambodia for Maddox, Vietnam for Pax, Ethiopia for Zahara, Namibia for Shiloh and France for twins Vivienne and Knox) along with the birthplace of her partner (Pitt was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma).







Katy Perry


In addition to the singer’s many tattoos, which include a strawberry on her ankle and the word “Jesus” on her wrist, Katy Perry bears the phrase “Anuugacchati Pravaha” on her inner bicep. The words, which she and ex-husband Russell Brand both inked on themselves during happier times, roughly translate to “go with the flow” from Sanskrit. “That's our motto,” Katy once said in an interview with the QMI agency. “We decided to get it after all the whole engagement in India, which was really beautiful and wonderful. He'd never had a tattoo and I kind of pressured him into doing it.”





Victoria Beckham


Spice Girl and fashionista Victoria Beckham got "Ani ledodi vedodi li haro'eh ba'shoshanim" tattooed on her neck to commemorate her sixth wedding anniversary with soccer star David Beckham (who inked the very same phrase on his forearm). The Hebrew quote, taken from the Old Testament, translates to "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine, who grazes among lilies."






David Beckham


David Beckham has more tattoos than we can count, but one particular design caused a stir in March of 2012. A provocative forearm tattoo of Victoria Beckham adorned with the vow "Til death us do part" (originally David's way of showcasing his marital commitment) popped up in promotional posters for Sainsbury's Active Kids initiative, which is aimed at preschool-aged children. David is currently an ambassador for the program, but some folks were none too pleased when his image — complete with a visible tattoo of his scantily-clad wife — was distributed to 47,000 schools and community groups throughout the United Kingdom.

Tattoo Quotes



Why Are Tattoo Quotes So Popular?

 
Do you remember when you first read a quote that truly inspired you? Imagine the feeling every day for the rest of your life. This is what a tattoo quote can potentially give you! Once you found a quote that truly inspires you it can be turned into a tattoo that has real meaning behind it. Sure traditional tattoo designs are great but a quote tattoo that motivates you or just makes you feel better when you need it can really blow them out of the water.  Or you could have the best of both worlds, couple a quote with a traditional graphic design and you’ll have a tattoo everyone can appreciate! Let’s go over what makes tattoo quotes special.

One of the best things about quotes is that there are thousands of quotes that span over many topics, like religion, war, anti-war, politics, government, motivating, philosophy, and many more. With so many topics and authors you’re sure to find one that’ll take your breath away.

Tattoo quotes can be good choices for both women, and men. What I’ve noticed is women really love feel good quotes or quotes about love and enjoying life. But men really prefer masculine in nature quotes or quotes from men he looks up to. Of course there are exceptions a man can like feel good quotes and a woman could like a masculine type quote.

An example of a quote that a woman may like is something like “Live, Laugh, Love” and something a man may like is something like “Veni, Vidi, Vici” a Latin quote by Julius Caesar it translates into “I came, I saw, I conquered” but again a man may like the “Live, Laugh, Love” quote and a woman might like “Veni, Vidi, Vici” quote!
 

Somethings To Consider

 
So what do you have to have in mind while choosing font, size, and location of your tattoo quote? Well some planning is probably necessary to get that quote beautifully done; you’ll need to find a quote you like enough to get tattooed of course. Preferably a quote that isn’t too long considering the limited amount of space you have on your body. Once you’ve got the quote you’re getting tattooed in mind, double or even triple check that the quotes spelling, grammar, and author are correct before taking it to your favorite artist! Nothing is more embarrassing than finding out your tattoo has a misspelling or a major grammar mistake in it after it’s already been permanently inked into your body, your only options if you unfortunately reach this point is to, live with the tattoo, get it covered up with another one, or to have it expensively removed so please make sure you bring your artist a one hundred percent correct quote.

Font is also a very important decision you’ll have to make. I know it might be tempting to choose a font that’s really cool looking but you have to think about readability before you finalize your decision, the most important thing is that you and other people are able to read the quote without much trouble. Overdo the font and it’ll be hard to for others to read the quote without having to stare at it for a while and that’s not good! Size and spacing of the letters is also important. Having the letters to close to each other may cause the letters to touch if your skin should shrink or enlarge making them look more like a blob of random ink rather than two separate letters.

Size of the letters should correspond with the location you have chosen for the tattoo, make sure it fits and is big enough to read.
 

Taking Care of Your Newly Done Tattoo

 
Tattoo aftercare is also very important when you first get your tattoo, it should be treated as an open wound that can get infected if not cleaned properly for at least two weeks. Usually the artist will explain how to clean the area where the tattoo is.

 How To Make Tattoo Changes




“Why?” is what you ask yourself, even as you stand in front of the mirror admonishing what you once admired. It is a tricky position to be in, when you have been living day in and day out with a tattoo, and now it begins to show how powerless a blob of ink is, as compared to Mother Nature. It is faded and doesn’t look a thing like the wonderful design that you had started out with. You would like to get it retouched. Wait a minute! Is there such an option as to get a tattoo redone or changed? Not many people would know about it, but the fact remains that a tattoo can be corrected and retouched or even redone, provided one goes to an experienced and reputed tattoo studio or artiste. Following are some ways in which one can make changes in a tattoo.
 
Changing Tattoos 
Here’s what you must do to make changes in your tattoo:
 
Touch It Up 
Touching up of tattoos is not new and many tattoo enthusiasts – new and seasoned – get their tattoos touched up regularly so that they look fresh much like actresses and models keep going to the hairdresser to ‘do up’ their hairstyle from time to time. A touch-up is something that can sometimes help a faded tattoo. Because different tattoo inks break down at different rates, not all colors fade at the same speed. If the rest of a tattoo is still fairly fresh and only the bright colors like red needs to be darker in small areas, then you can take help of a tattoo artist to put new red over the old faded one.
 
Fix It Well 
Though it is hard to believe that, there are some tattooists out there making tattoos, with questionable competence but truthfully, there are such tattoo artistes. The lines drawn by such artistes in the outline may cross where they're not supposed to, or may not meet, or the blending of colours may be uneven. Straight lines may not be straight and curved lines will not have a perfect curve. Most people on the street cannot draw a perfect star to save their lives, but it is understandable to expect minimum standards from a tattoo artistes. In addition, although we may not be able to draw ourselves, we know immediately when a sketch doesn't look right. In the case of tattoo fixes, it is best if you do not return to the same tattooist. A competent tattoo artiste should be able to tell you exactly what he/she would be able to do when he/she sees a tattoo fix candidate. Experienced tattooists can do a lot with shading and solid lines to improve a badly executed tattoo.
 
Redo 
For people who've exposed their tattoos to the sun or who simply have had their tattoos for decades, there comes a time when a redo might be the most attractive alternative. Once skin has been tattooed, however, it is never the same. To tattoo over it again will likely be more difficult, and it is also likely to produce a different result, even if that difference is barely discernible. The effect of a complete redo for a tattoo is not only that the vibrancy of a new tattoo is achieved, but occasionally the tattoo also takes on a unique sense of depth and shading that only comes from the presence of all the different pigment molecules in close proximity to one another, old and new.

Five Temporary Tatto Sleeve Prank Ideas


Few things in life are better than the well earned surprise and laughter you receive from a thought out, and harmless prank. There are the traditional things like a whoopee cushion or the buzzer that shocks someone hand when you are shaking, but when compared to the rise you can get with a temporary tattoo sleeve, these things seem rather juvenile and overused. Cheap and authentic, temporary tattoo sleeves are a great way to shock and surprise the people in your life.

1. The Parents:
Startling our parents with antics, practical jokes and farce is almost a requirement of childhood, but as we grow older our pranks must be refined. Gone are the days when the fake bloody nose or gross garden creature will get a rise from the parents; now that we are grown we must seek more sophisticated venues. The temporary tattoo sleeve is the perfect prank for a matured child to pull on their parents. This type of pranks works best after there has been an absence and you are seeing them for the first time in months. Returning home during Christmas or summer break is the perfect time to sport the temporary tattoo sleeve. Just slip it on before you see them and suppress the laughter as you watch their face. The moment will be priceless. Try some skull tattoo designs for a big impact.

2. The Boss:
In this particular instance you must make sure that you have the right kind of boss who will appreciate a good joke. There is no need to risk a firing just for a laugh. That aside, try returning from vacation with a temporary tattoo sleeve to match your kakis and polo shirt and see what he has to say. As he begins explaining the policy on tattoos and how you have the right to get whatever you want done to your body, simply slip the sleeve off, smile and walk away. You can be certain of earning yourself at least five minutes of gossip at the water cooler.

3. The Parents (take two):
Most parents want their daughters to get a good clean cut, hard-working, honest man…free of sleeve tattooing. Well gals if you want to give mom and dad a start, bring your new man home decked out in a temporary tattoo sleeve. Your parent’s reactions are sure to be comical. They want to support you, but a guy covered in tattoos….that’s pushing it. Once everyone is feeling nice and awkward you can have him slip off the sleeve and everyone will have a good laugh about it. Also this can be a bit of an ice breaker as well. We recommend checking out the tribal tattoo designs for this prank.

4. The Partner:
This prank has to be done just right because most of us see our partners on a daily basis, so ideally you should wait for a time when one of you will be away for the weekend. Upon returning show off your new arm art work and explain how you just felt moved to do something drastic to your appearance. Once the surprise has settled in nicely, ask you partner if they’d like to join you in becoming tattooed and present him or her with a matching tattoo sleeve.

5. The Patient or Customer:
If you are a doctor or work with the same customers on a regular basis then why not have a bit of fun and pull on a tattoo sleeve  before you begin working with them. Say you are a dentist, you can spend the day examining people with your tattoo sleeve on and just watch there facial expression as you work away with your supposedly tattooed arm and hand in their mouth. This can be fun with any type of client who knows you on a more personal level. Just be sure that in the end they know that the sleeve is temporary; you wouldn’t want to loose their business.
