TEMPTU Tattoos

TEMPTU has these do it yourself temporary tattoos that I think will look awesome with those Tribal and Warrior inspired costumes, they even have a kit called "Tribal Chic" which you can get at Sephora here. Temptu body art was used at the Victoria Secrets fashion show and  I am also loving the ideas of adding some sparkle to the tattoos with crystals for the ladies, the designs can even be used by the guys:

STEP 1: GET SET TO PREP

Each tattoo sheet can be used as-is to create a single large design or cut into smaller pieces and applied individually for more subtle adornment.  For this more customized look we cut up the tattoos for easier application.

STEP 2: TATTOO YOU

Once you’ve decided where to place your tattoo, moisten and clean that area with one of our included application pads.  Then press your tattoo onto place, face down.  Moisten it, push down until set, and peel off backing paper.  Set with our included powder.  You’re now ready to get blingerific!

STEP 3: FROST YOUR TRIBAL
Have a helper apply individual Rhinestone Body Jewels to your Tribal Chic tattoo in desired areas.

If you are looking for some more Divalicious temporary tattoos you may like the House of Dereon collection that comes in Bedtime, Rocker and Motorcycle inspired by Beyonce and designed by Tina Knowles.

Body Art!

This advertisement in a local News Paper recently caught my eye and I filed it away as something to look into that might be useful to all those looking for Body Art for Carnival.



The kisok is located at MovieTowne and yesterday I had a nice little chat with the guy who runs the Bodyart by airtoo business in Trinidad; his name is Robert Reid and he also has a myspace which you can link to here.

In addition to doing both temporary and glitter (sounds fabulous doesn't it) tattoos, they also sell all the equipment for those wanting to invest in doing this as a business as well as they do functions and events; I am thinking TRIBE can hire them do do tattoos for us masqueraders since they only take minutes to apply.The flames in the photo below look hot for Fireman; I can see the guys rocking something like that minus the skull.

These tattoos are waterproof, lasts from three to five days , are done using stencils (Robert assured me they have a wide range of over 300 stencils) and the cost ranges from $30.00 to $65.00TT. In addition if you need a link to an airbrush artist he can also supply you with someone who can do airbrushing which is different to these tattoos.

And one especially for HOTTIE!


I am liking the glitter tattoos, sounds like something that can replace the body jewelry that I normally buy to decorate my navel. If this tattoo lasts for five days it is a better deal than the stick on navel jewels that always fall off by the end of the day.
