The Best Fake Tattoos In The World
Just like Hollywood has really made a skill out of doing old age makeup, they've also finally gotten down the art of making the fake tattoo. Since actors need to change their appearances a lot from role to role, it's often a good idea to have fake tattoos instead of real ones.
Once limited to just the bad guys, the theatrical or makeup tattoo is now a staple of whatever character the screenwriter or director wishes. Sure you'll still see plenty of gang and prison tattoos, but the good guy can also literally wear his heart on his sleeve or extend his cool to some badass tribal tattoos.
Here are some pictures and recommended DVDs for those of you who love movie tattoos.

About Fake Tattoos
- Women are getting their tattoos removed.
This is just one more reason to think carefully before you get a tattoo for yourself. Maybe you should get a fake tattoo for sometime so that you can decide whether you really want to go for permanent tattoos.

Movie & Tattoo Fans, Shout Out!
Henna is a painted on method that is organic, it's never injected! (yikes, there's some bad body art info out there) Modern movie tattoos are now most often decals that will actually last for an entire week with minimal fix-its done by hand. What used to be an 8-hour, hand-painted makeup session is now often a 60-90 minute makeup session that's all stick-on.
I used to wonder that as well- whether they painted the tattoos on daily, that is. So are they more like stickers or an iron-on, type deal. Or is it like paint that is semi-permanent?
George Clooney's tattoo in from dusk till dawn is my favorite. When I summon up the courage, that's the one for me :)
Very cool. I wish I could get my real tattoos to look as bold as some of the fake ones!
It's all a matter of design....

Interesting. Do you know if they do henna injection for these tattoos to make them last a few months, or do they paint them on every single day of shooting?
