This is washi tape. I often keep some on hand.

Ha ha, let’s test it on my hand.

It stays on for a while, but doesn’t bend like adhesive bandages. So, once the edge pops up, it is compromised. Sweat or moisture will not keep it on. Removing it once compromises it as well. It might stick for a while depending on movement.<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/0WHko.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/0WHko.jpg" alt="edges lifted after moving tape"></a></p>

Not The Face
<p>I'm looking into putting together a Neil "Crazy" Craver costume. He is an athlete on American Ninja Warrior. He wears a lot of gold and decorates his chest and arms with gold stickers/temporary tattoos. Would washi tape stick to skin well enough to help me complete this look? I've never used washi tape, but I'm finding a bunch of great gold washi tape options online. Looking for opinions before I buy.</p>
