Temporary Tattoos

Temporary tattoos for promotional use come in four finish types. Standard styles print full colour CMYK artwork directly onto a water-transfer backing and are the most volume-friendly option in the range. Glitter and Metallic Foil versions introduce a visual texture that shows up well in daylight and under event lighting, which is why they're regularly ordered for outdoor markets, sports days, and school fairs. Glow In The Dark styles hold light and emit it when surroundings go dark, making them suited to evening concerts, festivals, and after-dark activations. All four types apply by the same water-transfer method. Wet the backing, press to skin, hold for around 30 seconds, then peel the paper away. Sizes run from 38x38mm up to 76x102mm, covering simple logo marks through to full illustrated designs.

A child at a community event stall who walks away with a foil tattoo on their arm is still wearing the brand on the bus home, at the dinner table, and at school the next morning. The tattoo is on them, not in a bag and not tucked into a pocket, and it goes wherever they go for the next few days.

All products in the range can be printed with full colour artwork or a logo, across all four finish types and every available size.

Common Questions

Which finish suits an outdoor daytime festival best?

Glitter and Metallic Foil styles pick up sunlight well and are visually striking in open-air daylight settings, making them popular for markets, fairs, and outdoor brand activations. Standard styles are a reliable choice when logo accuracy matters more than visual effect.

Do they work for adults as well as children?

While kids' events and school fairs make up a large portion of orders, they're equally used at music festivals, trade show activations, and sporting events where adult attendees are the target. Size and design choice tends to vary more by event type than by age group.

Is there a seasonal angle worth planning around?

Australia Day is a strong ordering period, with armband styles and flag-themed designs popular at community events around late January. End-of-year school events and outdoor summer festivals also drive a significant share of orders between November and February.

How are they removed after the event?

Baby oil or rubbing alcohol removes them cleanly without scrubbing, and they also fade naturally over two to five days with normal washing and activity. Removal instructions come printed on the reverse of each tattoo, alongside the safety information.
