Painless tattoos Design the inkjet way


Considering the amount of airtime, not to mention ink and skin, devoted to the art of tattooing--from Miami Ink to LA Ink, to Tattoo Wars-- it's no surprise to come across this Inkjet Tattoo Paper. Nothing like starting them young. Though even geriatrics can get to look like tough, old meanies without having to squeal like a girl under a needle that's jabbing you like a Singer machine gone berserk. After all, this is water-based and non-toxic (try selling that to the Goths), and washes off with some soap and water.

Comes cheap, too, if you consider that it's only US$5 per single A4-sized Inkjet Tattoo Paper, compared to the real McCoy. All you need for some body art is a design or digital image on your PC, printing this out onto the Tattoo Paper, and applying the adhesive side to your skin with a wet sponge.

Of course, if you want to keep the tattoo on a bit longer, you might have to forego showering for a couple of weeks. Though make sure it's your body of work, and not the BO, that's knocking your admirers off their feet.
