You can buy special tanning stickers at a tanning salon or novelty store or you can make your own with paper and skin-friendly adhesive. You can download stencil patterns from the Internet or buy them from your local craft store. And if your tanning salon doesn't carry skin-friendly adhesive, check out beauty supply stores, medical supply stores, or costume shops. Be as creative as you want to be. It's up to you.
