Tattoo – Illustration Friday


What a novel idea...actually getting my Illustration Friday done on Friday! Don't count on this happening much! Spring Break started today; so, I decided to take the day off from the "real world" and play! Next week I'm going to be busy working on my Summer lesson plans...so, I may not have time for "me."

With this said, back to my illustration. My daughter used to LOVE getting temporary tattoos out of those gumball machines at the grocery store. They usually were YingYang signs, Chinese Script sayings, and astrological signs. Once in awhile she would get one that I didn't quite understand how it made it into a machine geared toward children (hence the "bad girl" tattoo). This was my inspiration for this week's Illustration Friday.

Don't forget to check out my other creativity blog, just because³. Here you will find my creations for Inspire Me Thursday...once I get them done, of course.

Lovely illustration, I like the story behind it :D
If "Bad Girl" tattoos are available to children these days...imagine what the future holds...(scarey!) lol.

These are fab!

Did you know you can get tattoo transfer paper to go into ink jet printers - you could make some up and wear them!

(I hope this gets through I've just had an odd experience where it asked me for a word verification but didn't show any letters...)

These are great! each "tattoo" is so crisp and perfect! The peace sign brings back my teenage years, but my favorite in the sun and moon. I have a sunface tattoo on my lower back, and it brightens my day just knowing it's there.

Nice idea! My girls love temporary tattoos too. But saw it on Taiwanese news once that they could be harmful as they may contain chemical compound or toxin. Nevertheless, they are fun for kids.

Great idea. It brought back memories of my daughter doing the same when she was younger. I think she had that same pack :)
