Using stage blood

Using wound tattoos

The movie industry uses these to make sure their wounded extras look the same from take to take, even days or weeks apart. You can use them too for a quick, realistic looking injury.

How to use them

  • Use skin cleanser first to help the tattoo stick properly.
  • Cut out the tattoo you want from the sheet.
  • Remove the clear, protective top layer.
  • Press the tattoo firmly in place with the design facing down.
  • Hold a wet cloth against the back of the tattoo and press down to wet it thoroughly.
  • Wait 30 seconds - don't hurry.
  • Peel off paper backing
  • Remove with makeup remover.
