Temporary tattooing is a safe and risk-free way to experiment and express your personal style. The temporary tattoo stains the surface of your skin and wears off over a period of days, as you naturally shed dead skin cells. Henna is commonly used for temporary tattoos and comes in black, brown and red. If you would like to try other colours, or don't want to use henna, you can try other substances that also stain the skin, such as products with food colouring.

Add 1/4 cup cornflour and 1/4 cup hot tap water to small bowl. Mix until the cornflour completely dissolves.

Empty both packets of unsweetened flavoured drink mix into the disposable plastic bowl. Pour 1 cup of hot tap water over the drink mix and stir until it dissolves.

Pour the cornstarch mixture into the drink mix. Stir until the mixture thickens. You now have a paint that you can use to tattoo your skin.

Wash the tattoo area with soap and use a loofah or exfoliating pad to remove dead skin cells. The dye will adhere to your skin better.

Paint the tattoo onto your skin with the paint brushes. Let the paint sit for at least one hour. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a towel.

TIP

You can use multiple colours by mixing different colours in separate bowls. Do not use bowls that you use for cooking or serving because the dye in the drink mix may permanently stain the bowl.
