Answer
Henna is great fun and since it is not permanent you can change your design every so often.
It is not so hard to do, but does take practice.
You can draw the design on with a kids marker, then go over it with henna.
You can also use this great transfer paperhttp://www.hennacaravan.com/shop/prep.html
then you just go over it with the henna.
Be sure to only use safe and natural henna

Stay away from anything that is black .
Henna needs to stay on the skin for several hours to work, and it works best if you can avoid water for 24 hours too.
have fun and it should last 5 days or so on the neck. You can go over it every so often if you like to keep it going.

are there any artists who would like to help me draw up a tattoo? ?

Ashlee

email me and let me know, my tattoo is going to be about half my back, and dedicated to suicide prevention, i dont want anything brutal, like someone killing themselves.. id rather have something positive, and pritty, please help me out. im lookin to get it done in a couple months, and it means alot to me. thanks so much.

Answer
I have been thinking long and hard about what tattoo I would get. For many years in fact. I could ask people all day long, and at the end of the day NO ONE can design it but you. I would suggest you go to yahoo search or google search and type in (under images) individual descriptors like:

angel tattoo
sunrise tattoo
guiding light tattoo
hand tattoo(maybe of two hands joining to lift someone up)
hope tattoo
tree of life tattoo.....
what ever means a lot to you, butterflies, hearts, flowers.... and then make copies of what you liked from each one, then take that to a tattoo artist and tell him or her what you like in each photo, and then they can help you translate it into a tattoo. Not all artwork can easily be transferred into a tattoo without some tweaking. It's better if you let the artist who is doing the tattoo help you conceptualize something that you are 100% happy with. Good luck.

How to shift Temporary tattoo from sheet on to a paper rather than skin?

butterfly tattoo transfers image

samreen m

I have this temporary tattoo sheet, but i want to paste (apply) tattoo on paper instead of skin. Is there any way to do so?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Sheet-Multi-Color-Butterfly-Sexy-Fashion-Body-Art-Temporary-Tattoo-Sticker-/140897495350?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20ce252936

Answer
I have done this a few times. You will need a thick cotton paper that can handle getting wet. Watercolor paper works well as does paper made for printmaking (etching paper, not rice/mulberry paper) . Apply the tattoo to the paper where you want it. Use a paintbrush or sponge to wet the paper backing on the tattoo. Once it is soaked thought, slide the backing away. While the paper you transferred the tattoo to is till wet you can use the brush to smooth out any wrinkles or edges that are not flat.

What is the reason for getting a butterfly crown tattoo?

MJDM

Answer
It meant something to the person who got it.

butterfly tattoo designs far and away the most popular tattoo design request. Its ranking shows the influence that women have in tattoo culture, as butterfly designs are an overwhelmingly feminine tattoo choice. The butterfly, because of its short life, its physical beauty, and its fluttering from flower to flower seeking nectar, has among many ancient peoples been regarded as an emblem of the impermanent, unstable characteristics of the lower human soul. The caterpillar lives its period, making for itself a chrysalis, which after a stage of dormancy is broken by the emerging butterfly. This suggests the idea of the less becoming the greater, of an earthy entity becoming aerial. These thoughts led the ancient Greeks to use the butterfly as a symbol of the human soul (psyche); and in their mythology Psyche was in consequence represented in art with butterfly wings.

And

Crown Tattoos have long been used as a symbol of royal power and authority. Like the sceptre, the crown is a visible badge of office, granting the wearer, it's possessor, the absolute right to rule. That authority to rule was often held to be divinely inspired. In the Christian tradition the garland of thorns placed on Christ's head during the ordeal of his crucifixion is know as the "Crown of Thorns". The centerpiece of any coronation of a new monarch is always the moment when the new King, Queen, or Emperor has the state crown placed upon their head. At that moment the power to rule is transferred to the new monarch.

As a symbol, the crown also symbolizes leadership, and the rightful authority which comes from being elected by a group to serve as their leader.

Many groups have used the crown to symbolize the power and authority to lead or command. When it is combined with a cross, one of the meanings of the crown is "victory," and the cross symbolizes Christianity. Many Royal crowns in Europe incorporated the Christian Cross into their design, reinforcing the Monarch's claim that their right to the throne was a divine right and that the Monarch was guided by the hand of God.

As a tattoo symbol, the crown doesn't just mean the right of one person to command another. It symbolizes and individual's sovereignty over their own life, feelings, thoughts, and actions. The crown symbolizes self-control, and is a reminder to use power and authority wisely and justly.

How much does a small tattoo with color cost?

i want to get a small butterfly tattoo i drew and i want to make it colorful ...its to remember my grandmother who passed away. i would like to know the average cost please and thank you

Answer
It usually is an hourly fee. Most tattooists will charge a minimum fee. Mine charges $50/hr, but the minimum fee is $70. A small tattoo could take a while if it's highly detailed. When you choose your artist, they will give you a quote on the work and make sure cost is agreed on. You're not going to get surprised when you hit the register. Also, it's polite and only fair to tip. Not required, but needles, transfer sheets, ink all cost money. Some artists also pay rent to the shop, so kicking them something extra is always nice.

Remember good tattoos aren't cheap & cheap tattoos aren't good. Especially if you're honoring an important person in your life. :)
