Introduction: Tattoo Your Laptop
Want a tattoo?
No?
Me neither.
But a little scoring and colouring will have your laptop sporting a permanent tattoo.
It's easy and it won't hurt a bit... if you're careful.
This will work on plastic but for metal, you might need an engraver... which is sort of like a tattoo machine I suppose.
Step 1: Needful Thingies
You will need:
Pencil
Felt pens
Cutting implement
Artist
Love (not pictured)
Step 2: Draw
I recruited my classmate who can draw to pencil out a curvy tree on the lid of my laptop.
Step 3: Cut
Here we need to slice the lines of the drawing. This will score the plastic such that ink in the next step will have a place to hide.
Careful now.
Step 4: Colour
Colour over your score lines.
Rub off excess ink. The colour will remain in the line.
If you're using a permanent marker, test a little dab somewhere inconspicuous. You want to make sure it will rub off.
Step 5: Whip It Out
Instant permanent tattoo! Mhmm
