Temporary Tattoos

looky

I had this written on a scrap of paper that has probably been in the bottom of this cardboard box for 3 years.
It’s instructions on how to make temporary tattoos from a photocopy.

From the July 13th, 2000 edition of Rhymes With Orange by Hillary B Price.

You’ll Need:

  1. A Xerox copy or laser print of your design
  2. Some Oil of Wintergreen from your local hippy-dippy natural foods store

Directions

  1. Daub the oil generously on the area you want tattooed

  2. Press the design facedown onto your skin and hold firmly

  3. Peel back and voilà! You’re there! You’ve done it! Yeah!

Tips & Cleanup

  1. If your design has words, write them in reverse!
    (Unless the word is “MOM”)
  2. Soap won’t take the tattoo off, but more Oil of Wintergreen will!
    (But don’t spill the bottle, or your whole place will smell like Ben-Gay!)
