hey

just looking at a (very) old post in which brian posted a pic of a temporary tattoo on a guitar..

am i right in thinking that you just rub it on with a sponge and clearcoat over it?

That's kool, I've seen some nice designs too, being a 'transfer'...no decal outline or build up too...hmmmm, I'm gonna take a better look at those next time I'm in the store.

Thats awesome, would i be able to add one to an already finished solid color guitar and then jsut spray some extra coats of clear over top?

the thing is..you can buy blank tattoo sheets that you print onto..could you use these for decals?

Very interesting...my friend made a few decals for me using the plain decal sheet and his good printer. They look awesome, but do leave a slight ridge where you cut the film out. It is still visible after clearing with poly and a very faint haze of the decal film...no biggie, I think it looks kinda vintage. I have used NOS decals and the film dissappears completely, but those are rare and expensive if you can find the real deal...also very fragile. NOW, if you are saying that the TATOO which is transferring only the image...with NO outlines or cloudy film is visable, I'd go that way...here's a pic of the decal, the film can't be seen in certain angles, but flat on it's really noticable. I'll have to try that tatoo thing..I'll wear a Fender decal on my arm too... :D
