Temporary Tattoos

Standard temporary tattoos use full colour CMYK print on a water-transfer backing and are the default for events where quantity and cost per unit drive the decision. Glitter styles add a shimmer layer across the same full colour print, showing up strongly under event lighting and in daylight. They're ordered most for kids' parties, school carnivals, and daytime outdoor activations where the visual effect needs to read at distance. Metallic Foil versions have a reflective finish that catches light sharply, closer to a mirror sheen than scattered glitter, and suit product launches wanting something visually distinct. Glow In The Dark styles absorb light and release it after dark, suited to evening concerts, night markets, and after-dark giveaways. All types apply via water transfer, across sizes from 38x38mm to 76x102mm.

A primary school student who walks off the oval with a glow tattoo on their wrist is still showing it off that evening at home, and wearing it to school the next morning. They didn't choose to display the brand. It just came with the tattoo they wanted, and it stays on their skin and goes wherever they go for the next few days.

All products in the range can be printed in full colour. Sizes from 38x38mm to 76x102mm cover simple logo marks through to detailed illustrated designs.

What Buyers Ask

What is the difference between Glitter and Metallic Foil styles?

Glitter tattoos have a sparkle texture made up of fine reflective particles across the print surface, giving a scattered shimmer effect. Metallic Foil versions have a smooth, mirror-like reflective finish, shinier and more solid-looking than glitter, closer to the appearance of a foil sticker.

Which style works best for a school event or sports carnival?

Glitter and Standard styles tend to work best for daytime school and sports events, glitter for visual impact and Standard when the logo or design needs to read clearly without distraction. Glow In The Dark styles are better saved for evening events where the phosphorescent effect can actually be seen.

How do different sizes affect how a design reads on skin?

Smaller sizes like 38x38mm suit simple one-colour marks or icons; mid-sizes around 51x51mm to 51x76mm work well for logos with text. Larger formats from 76x76mm upward give room for illustrated artwork, mascots, or designs with multiple colour zones.

Are the inks safe for use on children?

All styles use cosmetic grade, FDA-certified non-toxic inks that meet cosmetic safety requirements. Each tattoo has instructions and safety information printed on the reverse, making them suitable for school fairs, sports carnivals, and children's event activations.
