Henna Tattoos

Though there are several types of temporary tattoos, the most prominent one is the Henna kit. Henna stays on the skin for much longer than sticky tattoos. Henna has been in use for centuries to adorn a woman’s hands, feet, hair and nails. Henna tattoos are applied with a paste. To get the best tattoo, ensure that fresh henna is used and not stale. A henna tattoo last for about 1 to 2 weeks and the skin is stained with henna.

Airbrush Tattoos

These tattoos are applied with an airbrush at low pressure and are sprayed on the skin through a stencil. They dry almost instantly and are easy to place under clothing. These tattoos look like the real thing and do not cause any harm to the skin. The designs are stenciled on to the skin and the tattoo ink is airbrushed on to the design. Airbrush artists specialize in anything from small tattoos to professional makeup to abstract body paint and more.

Decal-type temporary tattoos

Decal-type tattoos are famous among children. Each tattoo comes with a cardboard backing and all one needs to do is to hold it and soak it with water. Press lightly and then gently peel the cardboard away. The decal remains with the skin. The best part of these tattoos is that they are easy and safe for kids of all ages. Their ingredients for face painting are approved by FDA to be used for cosmetic or decorative purposes.

Glitter Tattoos

Glitter Tattoos are done with special body glue and this glue is applied through an adhesive stencil. The glitter of different colors is brushed on top. These tattoos last for about a week.
