Temporary tattoos are more than just designed adhesives that stick to your skin. If you get creative enough, there are plenty of unique and unexpected ways you can use them.

From designing your party decor to personalizing your nails and mannequins, here are some fun ways to get some more use out of your temporary tattoos. 

1. Personalize Party Decor

Temporary tattoos can stick to any surface, whether your skin or plastic, glass, and paper. This makes them a great tool to upscale your party decor and add a personal touch to your event. 

Instead of having your party theme or logo printed on your drinkware or balloons, save money by ordering custom temporary tattoos to stick to your party goods yourself.

2. Hack Any Holiday Craft

Add your unique personal style to your holiday decorations with temporary tattoos. Stick personalized designs on your Christmas tree ornaments, use them as a non-carve alternative for your pumpkins, or dazzle them all over your holiday posters. 

When sticking them to the holiday decor you plan to use next year, you can spray the temporary tattoo with a protective enamel spray so they retain their design and appearance for longer.

3. Make Affordable Nail Art

Instead of going over to the nail salon, you can DIY your nail art with temporary tattoos. Just stick them over your dried base, then add a protective top coat.

Feel free to get creative here — use designs that you like and play around with placement to create something unique.

4. Keep the Kids Safe

A child getting lost in the park, zoo, or mall is bound to be a nerve-wracking experience for any parent. Temporary tattoos can add an extra layer of protection for your kids. 

You can order custom tattoos with your phone number and apply them to your child’s hand when you go out, providing a simple but effective way to reunite with your child if they do get lost.

5. Makeover the Mannequins

Make your storefront mannequins stand out by giving them a little more personality. Temporary tattoos stick well onto mannequins, which gives you a lot of room to get creative. Give your mannequins a full sleeve or add color to them with temporary tattoos that are sure to attract customers. 

You don’t have to worry about temporary tattoos damaging your mannequins either. They are water and weather-resistant and come off quite easily with rubbing alcohol or baby oil.

6. A Faster Alternative to Face Painting

A face painting booth is a party staple. But it often sees long queues that take time off of children’s play. Get them back to the party sooner by using temporary tattoos in your face painting booth. They come in a range of designs and can be applied in a minute — plus, they’re mess-free!

Didn’t think temporary tattoos have so many uses, did you? With their customizable nature and range of design possibilities, there are plenty of ways you can use temporary tattoos to add color and detail to your life!
