The kit apparatus includes a number of patterned transfer sheets having a plurality of releasable themed ornamental patterns thereon, a plurality of capsules containing one or more sprinkle-able decorative materials, a plurality of ornamental studs, and an instruction sheet. Each of the number of patterned transfer sheets includes a double-sided medical grade adhesive material sandwiched between two rele

Problems solved by technology

The expense, time and pain associated with acquiring and removing a permanent tattoo, however have dissuaded some people desiring body art from obtaining a permanent tattoo.
Although such a tattoo may be non-permanent, there is expense, time and pain associated with its acquisition and removal.
Unfortunately, the method disclosed in the Jeziak et al. patent yields wearing apparel which gives an illusion that the wearer is wearing torn clothing exposing a tattoo on the wearer's skin in the area of the tear.
Such a “torn look” however, may not be suitable for many people desiring non-permanent body art.
In addition, although suitable for short term wear, washable skin tattoos are restricted in their appearance to simple forms with limited color selections.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [0001] This invention is directed to body art, and more particularly, to a kit apparatus and method for decorating a body. BACKGROUND [0002] Body art used to enhance one's appearance has been known for centuries. Such body art traditionally included permanent tattoos, impervious to washing, surface abrasion, and time. The expense, time and pain associated with acquiring and removing a permanent tattoo, however have dissuaded some people desiring body art from obtaining a permanent tattoo. One prior art solution to the problem of “permanence” associated with permanent tattoos is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,192,890 to Levy et al ('890). The '890 patent discloses injecting a selected area of the skin with microspheres, which when exposed to a controlled electrical field can be oriented to provide a multi-colored tattoo. The tattoo can then be changed by re-exposing the microspheres to the controlled electrical field. Although such a tattoo may be non-permanent,...
