[0004] Among temporary body painting methods, a method of printing onto the skin using a two-component skin printing ink is reported in KR101655978 B1 and KR20180057953 A. The two-component skin printing ink in these methods comprises an ink composition and an ink-immobilizing or fixing composition as a primer for the ink composition.
[0005] There is a need to improve the stability of primer compositions for the application of ink compositions to keratinous materials. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
