Tattoo transfers are temporary designs that can be applied to the skin, mimicking the look of real tattoos without the permanence. They are often made from special paper that holds ink, which is transferred onto the skin using water or heat. These transfers are popular for events, parties, or for those who want to try out a design before committing to a permanent tattoo. The application process is simple and quick. First, the skin is cleaned and dried, then the transfer is placed face down on the skin. After applying water or heat, the design adheres to the skin, allowing for a fun and temporary way to express oneself.
