I’ve found some services (like StrayTats) on the internets which allow you to submit your own design and create a temporary tattoo for you. I like that idea a lot.
Any experience with these? Is the tattoo/sticker material breathable or will it itch?
Well, I’ve never had custom ones made because they’re a bit expensive imo, especially for the scene that I wanted (an alligator fighting a flaming mummy on the deck of U-boat that’s being dragged to the ocean floor by a giant squid). But I’ve used temp tattoos before and they’re not itchy at all and will wash off in a couple of days. They look pretty good but are shinier than real tattoos since it’s basically a decal on top of your skin.
Go all the way! Tattoos are like bumper stickers - if you’re going to slap one on, go right ahead! There’s a reason we have regret, why waste it? Temporary tattoos are for sissies!
I’m mostly being sarcastic, but sure! I’m a wonderful influence on children. Everyone needs the crazy uncle with a disreputable upbringing.
But seriously - with regards to temporary tattoos, my experience is secondhand but the closer you get to ones that look real, the more they tend to be skin-irritating if you’re prone to that kind of stuff. If it’s just for fun or you’re trying out a design to see how it looks on you - yeah, go wild.
Although I wonder now if there’d be a market for Photoshop-based pre-tattooing services. “Want to know how that design will look on you? Send us a photo and we’ll show you for a low price of $9.99…”
