There are a range of products used to create temporary tattoos.
I have used skin illustrator to create simple tattoos, howver fot his project I wanted to use transfer paper to give myelf a guideline. However, I liked the look of the purple transfer ink and decided to add colours into this instead.
USING TRANSFER PAPER
Method:
-
​Draw design onto carbon paper
-
Prepare skin, clean with IPS
-
Take design, carbon side down
-
Use wet sponge to press down on design
-
Gently peel back
-
Apply required details
-
Fix with hairspray or sealer
On the left, I added silver Aqua colour in small amoutns. However I discovered that it would be better to use a solid metallic silver rather than this water based colour, as it appears grainy.
On the right, I added UV paints to give the impression of light coming through the skin. I think this worked quite well but instead I will explore with a silicone prosthetic and create depth in the skin rather than creating an illusion, as different camera angles when filming may ruin this effect.
