Semi-Permanent Tattoos- Good for Sigils

earthboundandromantic:

This trick I learned is fantastic for writing sigils, runes, spells, etc. on your body. The great thing about this technique is that it is waterproof, stays on as long as you want, is easy to do, and can be scrubbed off easily if you so desire.

Materials

1. Hairspray

2. Waterproof liquid eyeliner

3. Something to clean up the tattoo with (napkins, tissues, etc.)

4. What ever sigil, symbol, rune, etc. you want

Procedure

Step One: Write the symbol you wish wherever you want

Step Two: Let it dry

Step Three: Spray a liberal amount of hairspray on the area

Step Four: Dab around the tattoo with your napkin to clean the edges

Step Five: Let it dry again

Step Six: Activate the symbols by meditating or energizing yourself with emphasis on the symbol of your choosing. (Example: Writing a peace sigil on your wrist, meditate with the intention of bringing yourself peace)

I personally have been loving this technique. It’s cheap (for a college witch like myself, this is a plus). It’s effective. It’s not culturally appropriation. It’s semi-permanent, so if you want to change your sigil or whatever, you can. I’ve been using this for bringing myself internal strength and growth, and it’s been working wonders for me.

Something that I’ve noticed that helps is to make your atmosphere as witchy as possible. Dim the lights, play some music that makes you feel witchy, whatever empowers you. Try to place the sigil somewhere you will see it often. Let the magic slowly wave over you through the day.

Blessed be, you lovely badasses.
