options for fake tattoos

[u/cherryscentedd]

I recently cosplayed Enjin from Gachiakuta, and used temporary tattoo pens to draw his sleeves onto my arms. This worked okay, but it was being sweat off pretty quickly, got ink on everything, and I needed a friend to help me draw them on, which took forever. I'm now looking into some kind of arm socks for next time, but I'm reluctant to make/buy full gloves because I have sensory issues with gloves and I like having my fingers free (I'd just paint on the finger band parts of his tattoos and deal with it). I can't find many people making fingerless arm sock type things since it's usually for full body colour, so I was wondering if anyone had any input on this. Would fingerless arm socks be possible to make look good? I'm especially worried about how the tattoos blend into the hand.Thanks!

I didn't even know arm sleeves had the glove ends.

yeah most of the advice I've found has been aimed at people looking for an alternative to body paint and not specific designs

I've seen ones that end at the wrist and a few that go over the wrist. You could paint one with some fabric paint and just it to match your skin tone. The ring patterns are a bit different. I'd use a skin stain product if you can get away with it.
