Temporary Tattoos for Lower Back

Why Lower Back Tattoos?

Why get a lower back tattoo? Because they're sexy as all get out. You can keep it covered at times when displaying your tats isn't in your best interest, and you can put on some low-rise pants and draw plenty of attention when you want it.

You can also enjoy your tat on a strictly temporary basis if you want to. Let's learn more about these tats:

Types of Temporary Tattoos

Water Transfers

Water transfers are the most convenient way to create temporary tattoos for lower back areas. They work just like a kiddie tattoo. All you need to do is wet the paper holding the design, then have a friend position the piece on your lower back, just above the panty line. Press the temporary tattoo gently, then slowly remove the paper, and voila! You have a sexy lower back tattoo, even if just until your next thorough shower.

Henna Tattoos

Henna tattoos were once a strictly Eastern tradition, but as tattoo body art has exploded in the West, henna has become much more common. So much so that you can attend henna parties where everyone takes turns being painted with this reddish brown plant dye.

The dye paste must be applied to the skin and kept moist for a minimum of four hours to sink into the skin and stain it. Naturally, getting a lower back tat requires some help to apply and re-moisten, hence the excuse to combine the process with a party of friends.

Henna will begin to fade in just a few weeks, but your back tat can be renewed by applying more henna to the original pattern if you want to keep it longer.

Body Paint

Body painting might not actually be a form of tattooing, but you can sure fake a good one if you have access to a talented artist.

Lower back temporary tats can be created using specialized body paints and non-toxic acrylics, to mention a few of the products used. Your back tat may be applied with a fine brush, or may be airbrushed in by your artist.

Again, it's a great way to don a fabulous lower back tattoo on a temporary basis. If you fall in love with it, you can have a friend snap a photo and get a real tattoo artist to create it again in permanent ink.
