For anyone who might be doing a Naruto cosplay I have just posted the offical temporary tattoo images on my site.

www.bakachan.com Its very easy to find temporary tattoo paper for inkjet printers here in Japan, is it the same in the US??

Since they are the official ones, dont go making them just to sell on ebay or you might get in trouble with the company who makes them, and if anyone does Ill have to take them down. So please dont.

Can always just draw them on with sharpie pens.

This is true! Sharpies are ok. I think a lot of ppl use eye liner too, I use diluted body acrylic. But I prefer to make the tattoos, because then the images is the same as the manga and I dont have to worry about screwing up. Its difficult to draw on onesself afterall.

An idea is to take a print out and make a stencil and then tape it onto the person. Then you just take a good cake makeup mixed with liqui-set and paint it on. It would probably dry quickly enough that you could leave the paper on until it dried and then just peel it off. Or take it off when it's still wet and risk smudging.

Ahh Tia, you are a smart cookie! I didnt even think of that! I could use those images as the stencil too, thats good stuff! I have tattoo pens but I always just did it free hand, (b4 I found the tattoo paper though) Writing kanji on your forehead in a mirror BACKWARDS is not fun. And now the kanji AI always looks weird to me cause I only ever write it backwards. *grin*

Heh. I'm just obsessed with makeup. I did something similar with one of those wizard boxes in high school theatre.
