Book Description

September 1, 2001 9 and up4 and up

Removable tattoos are great fun for parties and at holiday time. They are popular because they are clean and safe and -- best of all -- can be easily removed without any damage to the skin. Whatever your mood -- elegant or funky, whimsical or traditional -- these colorful tattoos are a wonderful way to express yourself.

The tattoos in this book all use carefully tested materials to create colorful and distinctive images. Kids can tattoo themselves or each other. Each technique is discussed in detail and carefully illustrated, making it possible for even a beginner to follow.

Temporary Tattoos includes comprehensive skin-care advice as well as make-up and design information for different skin types.

In a series of colorful and inviting double-page spreads, you'll find:

  • sixty different tattoo designs on a variety of themes: nature, signs and symbols, calligraphy, international motifs and Halloween
  • three main techniques -- brush, stamp and stencil -- each with clear directions
  • attractive patterns that are easy to trace
  • detailed photographs to help you create your tattoos step-by-step

Since the dawn of civilization, the idea of body decoration has stimulated the imagination and given rise to many different designs. Temporary Tattoos will appeal to anyone aged 10 to 30. Here is an ideal way to complete your outfit for a big night on the town or just to express the way you feel and who you are. Best of all, they are safe and you can easily change them as the occasion or your mood changes.



Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up-This book offers an alternative to permanent body decoration. The authors discuss skin tones and skin care; list products that may be used in the application of temporary tattoos; and provide ideas for making stamps, stencils, and designs, along with precautions to avoid skin damage. The majority of the book is comprised of detailed instructions for the various designs, which include motifs for Halloween, from nature and the zodiac, and from Asian sources. There are suggestions for colors and techniques for different skin shades. Each design is illustrated with color photographs of young people wearing the work in progress and the finished product. Every project is identified with a degree of difficulty from easy to challenging. A fascinating book that will fly off the shelves in any library serving teens.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed, February 22, 2003
This review is from: Temporary Tattoos (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking that these designs would be easy to do,but you have to purchase other items to complete the designs, so add this into the price if you are going to buy this book, i wouldn't recommend it, unless you have the money for the items that are in the second page of this book, to complete some of the designs in the book you need waterproof body liners, A commercial stampand three inking pads, white mendi stick, liquid water colours made for the skin, a paintbrush or eyeliner brush, makeup sponges, and a lot of other tools of the trade to many to mention, so I was dissapointed with this book as I thought they would be easy to do, they look easy in the photo on amazon.co.uk but they are not as you need all sorts of stuff too much stuff to mention as you need a foam back board and other stuff also, I have learned one valuable lesson from buying this book I will never buy a book whhich hasn't been reviewed.

Thanks for reading my review
