Strictly speaking, you cannot draw a tattoo with a pen. In professional terminology, a tattoo is only a drawing that is stuffed onto the skin with a needle and special equipment. However, among people who are not privy to all the intricacies of tattooing, a tattoo is often called any image on the skin. At home, drawing on the body can be applied using special gel pens or markers.
It is necessary
Gel pens or markers for body art, stencils, art sketches, hairspray, warm water
Instructions
Step 1
Choose pens for drawing. Of course, you can paint the skin with an ordinary ballpoint or gel pen, like in school at recess, provided that the person is not allergic to the paste. But it is unlikely that such unaesthetic pictures on the body are really needed by someone. However, this is a good way to practice drawing. There are special pens and markers for temporary drawings. They come in a wide variety of colors, glitter and glossy effect, fluorescent.
Step 2
You can buy them either in online stores or in art departments. Just do not try to ask for such pens in a tattoo supplies store - there you may be offended. The paste in these pens is hypoallergenic, so it is usually suitable for children, however, if you are drawing a drawing for a child, make sure that the pen is suitable for children's skin - this should be written on the package. Don't forget to check the pen on an inconspicuous area of your skin to see if there is an allergic reaction.
Step 3
Come up with a sketch of the drawing. You can get a ready-made stencil - there are thousands of them on the net. Print or draw the desired pattern and carefully cut along the contours. To prevent the stencil from sliding on the skin and not moving, fix it with patches. By the way, stencils are already attached to some sets of pens.
Step 4
If you are using a stencil, then carefully fill in the desired areas of the skin with pens or markers and wait a few minutes for the drawing to dry. You can do without ready-made drawings and create your own. If you've drawn an uneven line, wipe it off with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. But still try to draw carefully - so that there are no streaks and irritation on the skin from too frequent erasure.
Step 5
The drawing can be secured with hairspray, but again, check for allergies. In any case, such a pattern on the skin will not last long, and you can wash it off with warm water and soap.
