This is a concentrated alcohol-based body paint.  Tattoos created
with this paint will last several days, or they can be removed
immediately with rubbing alcohol or oil.

Use a synthetic brush to apply the paint straight from the bottle.  Or dilute with 99% isopropyl alchol to apply with an airbrush. 

To make your tattoos last longer, clean the skin with alcohol before applying the tattoo paint. Then set the paint (after it has dried) by dusting with a translucent powder or baby powder. 

For a metallic effect, you can rub colored mica powders into the tattoo paint (after it has dried).  The mica powders will mainly stick to the tattoo paint.  If it sticks to the surrounding skin, you can gently wipe the skin with a wet papertowel (not a babywipe).
Laminated Mica-Tats Sign (8 1/2" x 11") - $3.99

Body Glue & Removers
Mica Shimmer Powders
Self-Adhesive Stencils
Brushes & Applicators
Mica-Tats are very similar to Glitter Tattoos, except that you apply Mica Shimmer Powders in place of cosmetic glitter.  Mica-Tats will last for several days because they are applied with the same water-resistent Body Glue that is used to apply Glitter Tattoos. 

You can use any color Mica Shimmer Powders for your tattoos, and you can even do part of the design with glitter and part of the design with Mica Shimmer Powders.  Our 24kt Gold Mica Shimmer Powder looks amazing on dark skin...like genuine gold leafing.

Our Pure Black Mica Powder can be used to create a matte (non-sparkly) black tattoo that both guys and girls love.  If you already have a glitter tattoo kit, simply add a container of our Pure Black Mica Powder and some of our Lollipop Swabs to your kit and you're ready to go. 

Mica-Tats Instructions:
Step 1: Clean the skin with alcohol
Step 2: Apply a Self-Adhesive Stencil to the skin
Step 3: Apply a thin coat of Body Glue to the design
Step 4: Let the Body Glue dry until clear and tacky
Step 5: Use a Lollipop Swab (or your finger) to rub Mica Powder into the Body Glue. 
Step 6: Sweep away excess Mica Powder, remove the stencil, and clean up any stray Mica Powder.

*Tips*

Very little Mica Powder is needed.  Only apply enough to have solid coverage, without needing to sweep away much excess.

If the edges of your tattoos look ragged when you remove the stencil, you have used too much Body Glue.  A thin coat of Body Glue works better than a thick layer.

For added sparkle, poof a little bit of holographic glitter onto the glue before applying the Mica Shimmer Powder.
