<– – Temporary tattooed back mural freehand airbrushed by Joshua Andrews

Body art has been around since time immemorial and it is fair to assume that so have temporary tattoos as well, which took the form of crude finger-painting and pigment smearing.  However once the electric tattoo machine was invented in 1890, body art entered a whole new realm.

As tattoos have become more and more acceptable in the mainstream of societies across the world in the last few decades temporary tattoos have found a nice niche for itself, because unlike painful tattoos, temp tattoos are a fun, painless, fast and a safe way of getting the benefits of a real tattoo.

Right now, the standard amount of time that a well applied temporary tattoo should stay on someone’s skin for, assuming also that it is an ideal application, is for is five to ten days. If the paint stays on longer than ten days then I suspect something else than safe, cosmetic temp tattoo paint was used. If the paint comes off within a day or two without any destructive behavior to it then obviously the paint was a bad batch.
