Are Anime Tattoos Illegal?

Anime imageries are protected by copyright. Getting an anime tattoo can be a form of unlicensed IP [intellectual property] exploitation. However, several anime companies have already offered a registration service, where anime fans can apply to pay an annual stipend for the use of certain logos and characters, as long as their colours are correct and the imagery is not off-model. There is also low chance that the companies will go to extreme and ask the fans to ‘delete’ their anime tattoos.

Anime Temporary Tattoos

Good temporary tattoos can look really realistic. Temporary tattoos last around 2-3 days depending on how they are cared for. Just apply a wet wash cloth to transfer the tattoo to your skin. Held the design on my skin for 3 or 4 minutes, then slowly peel it off. If you have any bubbles between the paper and your skin, you want to hold it back down to let it get a chance to stick. It takes a couple hours to dry but a few days to really set in and stay. Also, when you shower/bathe don’t scrub it let the soap run down and rinse that part. You can repeat it 2 or 3 time to be sure. You can put lotion over it too after, again just don’t rub it.
