Temporary tattoos do have benefits, if you are trying to decide on a permanent tattoo.

1. A temporary tattoo gives you a great chance to try a tattoo without commitment.

2. Temporary tattoos come in a wide range of design choices from angels to zebras. And if you hate the tattoo, you can get rid of it easily.

3. A bright and colorful temporary tattoo patch from a major manufacturer should be safe, with none of the long-term toxicological cares that permanent tattoos can bring.

4. When considering a tattoo, temporary patches let you experiment with placement on your body.

5. Temporary tattoos can be customized for you.

Warning – try to use professionally made temporary tattoos instead of printing them yourself. Inkjet ink was meant for paper, not your skin. Contact your ink manufacturer if you are printing temporary tattoos at home to make sure the ink is safe for prolonged contact with your children's skin and yours.
