Ways For Wearing Fake Tattoo Sleeves

By Kerri Stout


A permanent tattoo requires a long term commitment. Fake tattoo sleeves, however, are made of stretchable fresh toned fabric covered in tattoos and they offer a flexibility not afforded by permanent ink. Tat devotees may frown on them but there are many valid reasons for not getting real ink.

Some people love tattoos but they have very valid reasons for not being able to have a real one. Allergies to the ink is just one of these. Others may not be able to imagine having to look at the same one all their lives, even when they are old and wrinkled. Someone may want to try out the idea for a while before going the permanent route.

Some people work in a conservative environment where tattoos are not acceptable. This does not prevent them from indulging their rebellious side on weekends. They slip on a sleeve, go out for some fun and then roll it up and put it away in a drawer until the following weekend.

Many individuals buy these items for wearing to parties. There are thousands of designs to choose from, including tigers, dragons, skulls, tribal prints and more. If the party is a costume party, all the better. Biker, pirate, rock star and prisoner costumes look more authentic when accompanied by some tattoos and these items provide an uncomplicated way to achieve this.

Producers of stage productions may also benefit from using these products. They can be purchased in packs of ten at a reasonable price. A special event like a rock concert is a perfect occasion for bringing out the tattoos to compliment an edgy outfit. Some people even buy items like this to use for gags or practical jokes.

Thousands of online stores are selling these items. Some do not look that realistic whereas others are of good enough quality to appear remarkably realistic. The top products have really good designs, keep their shape and stay in place on the arm. Wearing one with a t-shirt and covering the edge at the wrist with a watch or bracelet makes it appear as real as possible.

A sleeve is very easy to slip on and due to the stretchable nature of the fabric, one size generally fits all. The fabric used is usually a combination of nylon and spandex, similar to that used for ladies stockings. Some require hand washing and others can be machine washed.

The prices of these items vary depending on quality. Choice usually depend on the purpose for which the item is being purchased. For a more realistic look and better quality of design, you will have to spend a bit more.

If buying from one of the many online stores offering these products, it is important to find out the policies of the company with regard to shipping and returns. Some offer free shipping under certain conditions and their are even those offering money back guarantees. These items give people a chance to wear tattoos temporarily without any of the pain, permanence or risks.
