    Howa lads, as some of you know iv been thinking of getting a tattoo latly and have been playing around with a few ideas. I was wondring if I print off a design I like, what is what is the easyest way to draw it onto my arm to see what it looks like. I suck at art so couldnt free hand and have tryed going over the design with a marker to see if it would go through the paper onto my arm but never does.

    I hope Im making sense and someone can help me out.

    Chears

    maybe get a sheet or two of acetate (the stuff overheads are drawn on) trace the design with marker onto it,cut it out and stick it onto your arm?

    it could give you an idea of what it would look like that way!

    Have a friend do a quickie in photoshop?

    Or download Gimp and give it a go yourself, its not exactly difficult to crop the design you like to fit your arm:D

    Saw that the other day, looks like a deadly idea, try that!

    -you print off your design at home and you have a temp tattoo, sounds perfect.

    Would cost ya less than 3 euro to have it shipped within 5 days too, and the sheets are 3.40 a pop, so less than a tenner in total for two sheets delivered to your door.

    Imagine the possibilities if it worked o_0
