Answer 1

cant help on this one

Answer 2

Anything fake always looks fake, especially tattoos.

On that note, I would suggest that you play with makeup to get the right look.

Or rethink your plan. Living better (without weird, revengeful plans) always work the best.  

Answer 3

scrub the place your gonna put the name until its red than draw his name very neatly and after the pen ink drys wipe vasaline on and around it and it should look real as long as the areas still red

Answer 4

u dont realy make it look real unless it is.

1 thing i would try is darken the "tattoo" and then add darker red around the "tatto" ten go lighter as u get farther away,makes it look irritated (fresh)then apply somthing like aloe sun burn releaf to it to make it look like ur trying to make the heat go away(yes i said heat).

that is if u want it to look fresh..

last the big moment...he sees it and freaks out....lol

Answer 5

Umm, to make your skin red, I'd use some sandpaper or a nail file to rough up the skin in that area...  It'll be red for a while then.

Then probably take a black marker (maybe not a Sharpie or other permanent one because of the skin being scratched up a bit, possibly causing it to lightly discolor the skin after it heals) and have your friend write his name in that area, neatly of course.  Perhaps those old styled letters, like in a calligraphic style.

Have fun!  But don't go overboard.
