ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for selective marking using natural or artificial light (10) includes a semi-rigid, flexible design (12) with thread holes (14) in the periphery. A beveled edge (16) is provided around the design edge so that top (18) angles away from bottom (20) along the beveled edge (16). Additionally, a gripping edge (22) is provided so that when the semi-rigid, flexible design (12) is attached to a user's clothing and the semi-rigid, flexible design (12) is brought in contact in the location desired on the user's skin, the semi-rigid, flexible design (12) does not slip or move from its original position. In a preferred embodiment, a universal retainer (24) is provided with interior space (26) and retaining edge (28) for removably receiving a variety of different semi-rigid, flexible designs (12). When exposed to natural or artificial light, a tatoo-like design is created. In another embodiment, a non-threaded, permanent retainer (36) is provided with flexible retaining posts (38). Flexible retaining posts (38) are designed to correspond with thread holes (14) and to pass through the user's clothing and then into thread holes (14) and be retained by the bottom (20) so that the semi-rigid, flexible design (12) is held in place without need of sewing.
