Abstract
The patch of the present invention provides a method for creating the illusion of an apparel wearer or other substrate, such as a vehicle or advertising medium of having a body tattoo. The patch has a top layer of material that includes a tattoo design surrounded by a bottom layer having a skin-toned or substrate matching colored background. The patch may be purchased with a pre-selected tattoo design permanently affixed to the background or removably fastened for replacement with a new tattoo design. The patch may also include material surrounding the skin-toned or substrate matching colored background. The surrounding material has a torn edge along the perimeter mating with the top layer to give the appearance of a tear within the material.
