GlossaryTemporary Tattoo

decorative skin image that lasts a few days to weeks

A temporary tattoo, also known as a fake tattoo or temporary body art, is a decorative image applied to the skin that lasts for a short period, typically ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks. These tattoos are usually created using a special type of ink or dye that adheres to the skin's surface and can be easily removed with soap and water or naturally fades over time. Temporary tattoos are often used for aesthetic purposes, events, or as a trial before committing to a permanent tattoo.
