Tracing paper
Tattoo pencil
Scissors
Alcohol based deodorant
Fine point permanent markers( black & colored)
Rubbing alcohol
Cotton swabs
Clear make-ups
Brush for make-up

Here are few of the steps that you can follow:

Choose an image that you can draw confidently. Preferably, contact a professional in case if you go for a complex design. Black and white designs work well. For sources of tattoo art you can refer websites, craft stores and parlors.
Study the image carefully and make sure that you want this picture as a tattoo.
Trace the tattoo outline on a tracing paper with a tattoo pencil. These pencils contain ink and are obtainable from the craft suppliers.
Next you have to cut out the picture from the tracing papers keeping at least 1 inch space on all sides.
Apply deodorant on the skin where you want to draw tattoo. Now put the tracing paper upside down so that the ink- side is on the skin. Press the paper uniformly and firmly transfer the total figure on top of the skin.
Peel off the paper from the skin and then outline the image with a fine lined permanent marker.
Pick the fine point color you want to apply and color the tattoo. Complete color towards the midpoint of each segment is not required. This may spread the ink. So color from inside the line limits till halfway towards the midpoint.
Spread alcohol on the tattoo in a very small amount. Blend the colored areas with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to give a faded look.
Go on rubbing the swab towards the center till the color bleeds down to the midpoint.
Darken the outline to give a sharp look. The rubbing of the alcohol fades the outlines and so you will have to brighten it once again to give it a real tattoo look
Lastly, take a make-up brush and apply any translucent powder on the tattoo, and you will get the real tattoo look that you were eagerly awaiting for.

Avoid scrubbing on the tattoo to retain it for at least two days. Trying tattoo on uneven or broken skin will give a negative result. It is not that difficult to make a fake tattoo for a party or social performance if you have essential materials with you. Children and people who tend to avoid painful process for drawing tattoos can easily opt for these real-looking fake tattoos.
