Applying a fake tattoo

In an earlier blog we told you about the different ways to make a fake tattoo. Today we will take you through the ways to apply a fake tattoo. 

Skin-friendly

When making a fake tattoo, it is important to ensure that you do not damage the skin and that you follow hygienic practices to prevent infections. Use skin-friendly material and remove the tattoo carefully when you are done with it.

The fake tattoos from tattforaweek.nl are made from skin-friendly (non-toxic) material, which is dermatologically tested. The fake tattoos are therefore suitable for every skin type.

There are different ways to apply a fake tattoo, depending on the type of fake tattoo you use.
