Green Eyed Tiger Temporary Tattoo

Soft watercolor strokes shape the head of a tiger on this temporary tattoo, its blue-green eyes looking straight ahead. Below the white ruff of its chest, the paint loosens into brown splashes and long drips that run down the sheet, as if the portrait were still drying.

A watercolor portrait on the skin

Instead of hard black outlines, the design is built from brushy washes of brown, amber, cream and white, so it reads more like a painting than classic tattoo work. The eyes are the only cool color in the piece, which draws every glance to them. Being a single, upright portrait, it sits well on a forearm, a calf or a shoulder blade. Bolder flash designs and full scenes are gathered in our tiger temporary tattoo collection.

Sheet size and application

The sheet measures 14.8 x 21 cm. The tattoo is applied with a damp sponge pressed on the back of the paper. Its listed composition includes an acrylates copolymer, propylene glycol, linseed and soybean oils, mineral oil, iron oxides and titanium dioxide, with blue, yellow and red colorants.
