Type of Temporary Tattoo

There are many types of temporary tattoos, all ranging in how realistic they appear, how temporary they are, how simple they are to apply, and how much they cost.  The main kinds are decal tattoos, airbrush tattoos, and henna tattoos.  They all have such different qualities; there is definitely a type of temporary tattoo that will meet your needs. 

If you are looking for a temporary tattoo that can be taken off at your leisure or will not last longer than a couple of days, the decal tattoo is probably what you are looking for.  It only takes a few seconds to apply, done only with a moist towel or cotton ball.  And with the decal tattoo, the options for designs are endless.  If you don’t see what you are looking for amongst the vast variety already made, you can customize your own. 

Airbrush tattoos are another popular type of temporary tattoo.  For the most realistic look you can get, try a black airbrush tattoo.  It will last just under one week, but it will look just like the real thing.  They come in a variety of colors and styles, including shimmer, glitter, glow in the dark, and hundreds of stencils for you to choose from. 

Henna tattoos are the type of temporary tattoo that have been around for the most years and also last the longest.  If you are looking for a temporary tattoo that will last longer, this may be the right choice for you, as the henna tattoo will last for up to three weeks, if the directions are followed correctly.  Many people will use henna as a “test run” for their permanent tattoo design, to make sure they like the image and the location.  If you are sick of the design after three weeks of henna, it may be wise to rethink your decision of getting a real tattoo.  Depending on the design, the application of the henna tattoo can be somewhat time consuming; however it does last significantly longer than any other type of temporary tattoo around.  The colors are rich, and the results have been satisfying, which is what has made henna tattoos so successful.
