how would I go about dying my skin from tan white person to brown so I can be Mr T for halloween? Like could I use RIT dye, betadine, shitloads of fake tanner or what? id want it to be able to come off in a day or two also.

all three

RIT dye turned my hands red for awhile this week

but you gotta leave that junk on, and i dunno if its toxic or not


just get some body paint

UVA light is very effective

[Edited on October 25, 2007 at 11:42 PM. Reason : but it'll last longer than a day or two]

Find some meth. blue and be a smurf. That shit will turn you blue for a month.

10/25/2007 11:23:21 PM

10/25/2007 11:25:23 PM

tattoo

10/25/2007 11:26:12 PM

read 'black like me'.

the author uses pills to turn himself darker.

do that.

10/25/2007 11:31:40 PM

so either RIT dye or body paint would be good? anybody have any idea if RIT dye is toxic or would it be safe? the reason i aint say paint is i dont wanna it like comin off half way thru the night cuz its gonna be a wild night but i could use it as a last resort

10/25/2007 11:33:22 PM

^^the drug doesn't actually make him darker, it makes his skin more sensitive to UVA light

[Edited on October 25, 2007 at 11:44 PM. Reason : that was the inspiration for my first post]

10/25/2007 11:43:40 PM

if theres pills to make you more sensitive to UV, why aren't all the sorority girls taking it?

10/25/2007 11:56:44 PM

how do you know they aren't?

"It has been claimed that the large doses of Oxsoralen John Howard Griffin used in 1959 led to his death in 1980 at age 60 from skin cancer. However, Griffin never had skin cancer; the only negative symptoms he suffered because of the drug were temporary and minor. The worst, arguably, were lassitude and nausea."

Quote :

"Patients with high blood pressure or a history of liver problems are at risk for inflammation and irreparable damage to both liver and skin. The eyes must be protected from UVA radiation. Side effects include nausea, headaches, dizziness, and in rare cases insomnia."

Quote :

"10. Do I need a prescription in order to undergo PUVA therapy? Yes. If your physician finds that you are a good candidate for PUVA therapy, he or she will write you a prescription for Oxsoralen-Ultra® in conjunction with exposure to UVA light."

--from Wikipedia and Oxsoralen's website...maybe just some heavy coats of makeup?

Use the body makeup. Get some powder to set it, you should be okay as long as you aren't on the slip'n'slide or hanging out in the shower room.

Speaking of showers, do take one before bed, unless you have dark sheets that won't show stains.

ETA: This might be easier to apply than the body makeup. Just do it in the shower and at least spray some tilex on it before leaving. It makes a mess. http://www.sallyhansen.com/product.cfm?product=149

10/26/2007 10:56:42 AM

just use skin paint

^or that. my sister's boyfriend went as Mr. T once, as long as you're a big dude it doesn't matter if you get the skin stuff down, the mohawk and chains will be good enough

yeah im startin to lean more towards body paint, and yes i am a big dude, gonna shave my head and stuff too like Mr T, not a lil wig thing, the real deal.

10/26/2007 12:01:49 PM

Put henna all over your body and plastic wrap yourself for a couple hours.

10/26/2007 12:05:50 PM

I pity the fool who gets advice on tdub.

10/26/2007 12:17:46 PM

actually body builders use a chemical that makes them darker for the stage.

check google. you might be able to get it locally. non permanent.

[Edited on October 26, 2007 at 12:59 PM. Reason : you apply it to the skin, not a pill.]

10/26/2007 12:59:01 PM

get a black magic marker and draw stuff on your face like a penis and a swastika.
