Abstract: A method for applying a temporary tattoo ink to an applicator is disclosed, in which the applicator includes a multi-layered pad having a first adhesive layer, a second adhesive layer, an ink-containing layer and a cut-away top layer. A tattoo design is cut into each of the first and second adhesive layers and a temporary tattooing ink is absorbed into the ink containing layer. The temporary tattooing ink includes genipin. The method includes embedding the genipin into the non-woven material by either dipping the ink-containing layer into an aqueous solution of genipin prior to assembling the multi-layered pad or pipetting the genipin onto the assembled applicator.
