Halloween costume logistics.

[the-moonshiner.livejournal.com]

I've decided I want to go as a gutterpunk fairy. You know, ripped up prom dress, anarchy symbols painted on my wings, etc.

Here's the issue: The prom dress I want is strapless. I live in Madison, Wisconsin. The temperature on Halloween Night is usually below freezing. As I want to draw cheap-looking tattoos all up and down both arms, I'm trying to come up with a way that could keep my arms from turning blue and falling off. But I still want the tattoos to show.

Any suggestions?

Ball gown gloves do nothing to stop the deep freeze, btw. I speak from experience.

Oh yeah, and if anyone has any suggestions as to the best material to use for the tattoos - paint, sharpie, etc - do tell.
