What is the minimum order?

Our minimum order is just 12 sheets — enough to test the artwork on skin before committing — with bulk tiers that drop steeply at the quantities a festival or a stadium needs.

How fast will my tattoos arrive?

Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and finished sheets ship in about 2 weeks. Express turnaround is available when an event date is already fixed.

Why did my last custom tattoos look washed out?

Almost certainly no white underlay. Tattoo inks are translucent, so without a printed white layer beneath them the colour mixes with the skin tone and reads muddy on medium skin and barely at all on dark skin.

How long does a temporary tattoo last?

Usually two to five days, and placement matters far more than print quality. Flat areas like a forearm or shoulder last longest; anywhere skin creases or rubs on clothing goes much sooner.

Why do big solid designs crack?

Because a tattoo is a film on skin that flexes constantly. A large solid block breaks up at every crease, while line art and small shapes move with the skin. It is a design decision, and we will redraw artwork to survive.

Are they safe on skin?

Ours use skin-safe colourants and adhesive, and every sheet carries a lot number. Not on broken or irritated skin, test a small piece first if skin is sensitive, and remove with oil rather than scrubbing.

Is this the same as henna?

No. These are surface transfers that sit on the skin and wash off. They are not henna, and they are certainly not “black henna”, which can contain PPD and cause severe skin reactions. We do not sell it and would advise against it.

Do you redraw artwork?

Yes, free. We redraw for the medium: line weights that survive skin movement, solids broken up where they would crack, and a white underlay added where the artwork needs it to read.

Buying Guide

Metallic foil vs. full-colour tattoos

A real foil layer or a printed full-colour design — a straight side-by-side from the people who print both.

The short answer

Choose metallic foil when you want a premium, jewellery-like flash on flat skin: a forearm, a shoulder or a collarbone. Choose full-colour when the artwork is the point, whether that is a photographic design, a bold logo or any palette you like. Both are printed to order by Customized Temporary Tattoos, both start at a minimum order of 12, and both come with a free mockup within 24 hours.

Side by side

Finish	Real metallic foil layer in gold, silver, rose or coloured foils	Printed full colour with no colour limit and no plate cost
Look	Flashes in sunlight and on camera	Any artwork, including photographic designs and solid colour
Design detail	Fine lines, bands and small shapes beat large solid slabs	A photographic design and a two-colour logo are prepared the same way
Best on	Flat areas such as a forearm, shoulder or collarbone	Any placement; wear depends on where it goes more than on the print
Limitation	Foil is a metal film and cracks across hard skin folds	Large solid blocks can crack at creases, so we break them up
Wear	Stays intact for days on flat skin	Typically 2 to 5 days
Removal	Oil or an alcohol wipe	Oil or an alcohol wipe
Order terms	Minimum order 12, free 24-hour mockup, about 2 weeks	Minimum order 12, free 24-hour mockup, about 2 weeks

Where metallic foil wins

Metallic tattoos use a real foil layer rather than a printed grey or yellow that pretends to be metal, which is why they flash in sunlight and photograph the way people expect from festival pictures. Foil is a metal film, so it does not stretch: on a flat area it stays intact for days, but across a knuckle or the inside of an elbow it will crack. We design around that, using fine lines, bands and small shapes, and we redraw artwork that way and show you both versions before you commit. See metallic foil tattoos.

Where full-colour earns its place

Full-colour temporary tattoos are a thin printed film with an adhesive face, released onto skin by water. There is no colour limit and no plate cost, so a photographic design and a two-colour logo are prepared the same way. If your colours must read clearly on any skin tone, ask about a white underlay, which stops translucent ink from taking on the colour of the skin beneath it. See full-colour temporary tattoos or white-underlay tattoos.

The verdict

Pick metallic foil for festivals, fashion, launches and premium giveaways where a metallic flash on flat skin is the goal.

Pick full-colour for brands, campaigns and events where exact artwork and colour matter more than a metallic effect.

Either way, the minimum order is 12, your free mockup arrives within 24 hours and the finished order ships in about 2 weeks. Send your artwork and quantity through the quote form and we will mock up both so you can compare them on screen.
