rubber stamp tattoo?
I was thinking about some temporary skin decoration - mainly for Teslacon.
I decided to try a filigree rubber stamp at Hobby Lobby, and a copper ink pad.
Did a test stamping last night...it needs a good few minutes to set up - don't touch until then or it will smudge.
But, if it does smudge, it comes of with just water and you can re-do.
Once set, it stays nice and crisp without any effort, as long as kept dry, but washes off clean with water.
So, that will work for me. Photo behind the cut of the test-stamp on my arm, after it had been on overnight.
Has anyone else done this? Suggestions of brands/types of ink pads? Any that are more or less permanent on skin?
I went for ones labeled non-toxic. But I figure I'm not the first person to rubber-stamp onto skin; it's pretty much the same as getting stamped at a nightclub.
The ink pad I used was Archival Brilliance "cosmic copper". I also got a Stampabilities pigment ink pad in gold,
but on me it doesn't show up well - would look better on someone with darker skin (in other words, anyone but me).
Since I have fairly short hair, my thought was to stamp at the base of the neck in back. Haven't tried that yet to see how it actually looks.
