Sharpie Tattoos that Last a MONTH? (Fail)

**THIS DOES NOT WORK. AS OF NOV 18 (3 DAYS LATER), IT IS ALMOST UNNOTICEABLE. I don't know why I thought it would work, and I definitely laugh at how gullible I am, but this does not work. If you want to still do it, though, be my guest ;) **

Hello minions,

This past week my friend showed me a vine video which displayed "how to make a temporary tattoo that lasts a month" and when I saw that the person used a sharpie, I got skeptic. I use sharpies over and over again to make tattoos that last about a week, so can baby powder and hairspray really make that big of a time difference?

Well, I guess we'll find out.

After about an hour of searching Pinterest and the web for ideas, I decided that I would do something that hits home for me--French. Yeah, I know, not everyone will be able to understand what it says, but the meaning to the person is what matters.

Here we go!

What you need: a sharpie (or sharpies), baby powder, and hairspray.

1) Pick your poison (tattoo, that is); what I chose is the word "rêve" (sexy, isn't it?), which means "dream" in French. It's the imperative, though, so it's more like hey, you--dream! We'll discuss the reasoning to its importance later ;)

2) Apply baby powder over the tatt, and rub it in.

3) Apply hairspray over the baby powder. I waited until the hairspray dried (about 3 mins) to wash it off; you'll know it's dry when your skin feels tighter.

4) WASH THAT STUFF OFF! Since I don't believe it'll stay on, I cleaned it really gently, but after that it's going to be put to the test >:D

I'm still pretty skeptic about it lasting for a month, but I'll keep you updated as I continue throughout the 30 days! I'll most likely add update photos the same day as the next blog post (which is every Thursday or Friday).

This also gave me the PERFECT reason to do a mini photo shoot with my new glasses! I've been wearing the same pair since about fifth grade, and after sitting on them (it was not intentional, at least I don't think so...) I decided to just get a new pair. It also shows you what the tattoo looks like from afar (because I can't just take a photo of my glasses, can I?)

  

So, that is pretty much my new project! Other than learning Swedish, that is, but that post will be further down the road.

Happy tatt-ing!
