ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a device and method for applying temporary tattoos. The device is a pocket or patch enclosing a dye. The outer layers of the pocket are impermeable to the dye. The pocket has a removable bottom layer. When the bottom layer is removed, the now exposed inner layer of the pocket, which has dye-permeable and dye-impermeable portions, is adhered to an appropriate location of a user's skin. The user's skin is then exposed to the dye and a tattoo will form in a pattern corresponding to portions of the inner layer (or layers) permeable to the dye. Using the method, a user may cut out and remove a pattern from a dye-impermeable layer of material. The layer is adhered to an appropriate location of a user's skin. The user applies the dye over the layer. The user then securely adheres a dye-impermeable backing layer to the layer of material, thereby preventing leakage of the dye between the layer of material and the backing layer.
