Fake tattoo sleeve tutorial

I did a thing today where I woke up and decided to make fake tattoo sleeves. And then a friend wanted to know how I did it because she was going to make some today or tomorrow. So I kinda just threw this together. They will be used for a Cecil Baldwin cosplay that I will probably be doing in a few weeks at my local convention.
Please forgive quality, I only have a cell phone and paint to work with.

I think the part with using the rolled up poster is very clever, although I had massive problems to get the tights off the paper again, as it was all sticking to the paper at the parts I was painting on. Maybe I'll try putting some plastic sheet or something in between next time... Still very helpful, thanks! 

Amazing job! I saw another example of a temporary tattoo sleeve using stencils and an airbrush on Youtube called Temporary Classic Style Tattoo Sleeve Application. It's from a designer named Gwen Davis. Check it out - it's really cool!
