I am planning on making tribal tattoos on someone and was going to do it with liquid eyeliner. Anyone have any other suggestions besides sharpies and henna?
 
Besides sharpies? We had great luck with sharpies for prison film. The colors approximate tattoo colors very well and actually clean of nicely. It took much longer (than I) expected to apply. 3 hours for a shirtless tattoo scene.

They clean off nicely? Thats the reason I didnt want to use them because I was afraid of leaving marks on them for a week. Maybe I will go the sharpie route.
Eye liner works good and is waterproof but the brush is so damn small.
 
>I've seen it done with tattoo sleeves -- VERY realistic on-camera:

Hey, those are cool, it looks like they would save time too.

The sharpies do clean off. Try a test on your arm!
 
I dont have time to buy the sleeves so im going to bring markers and eye liner and make the best of it tomorrow.
Thanks!!
 
I wound up using a cut out i made of a tribal tattoo i designed and sprayed it with spray-ink in a can and touched it up with sharpies. Looks good on dark skin with a little power to take down the shine.
