Silhouette America Temporary Tattoo Paper for Inkjet Printers

Good stuff. I used this to print out small tattoos as well as tiny nail decals, and both worked very well. Printing: No issues with smearing of the printer ink (color inkjet). Images came out clear, even for the <1/4" images. I was worried about having trouble applying the adhesive sheet and left margins on all edges, but I totally didn't need to. Both sheets went on near perfectly. I ended up doodling in the tattoo sheet margins with a permanent marker so that I could maximize my tattoos. Even those worked! Adhesive sheet: No issues at all, and it was easy. After peeling off the small rectangle of backing, I was able to easily line up the two sheets and press them together at the bottom. From there, I slowly rolled off the backing and used a credit card to smooth it out/apply pressure to adhere from the center out. This whole process went very smoothly. No air bubbles, no accidental sticking. The backing came off very easily and smoothly. Application: I cut my tattoos out with scissors. My tiny tattoos released from the paper backing very quickly, and were so easy to apply. If you decide to use these as nail decals, be sure to smooth them down to squeeze out any water or air bubbles before the tattoo dries! Longevity: I haven't had these on for too long, but they seem to be doing okay so far. I applied a small tattoo about 8 hours ago on my wrist, and it has withstood a half-dozen gentle hand washings. The nail decals did not bleed or shift when applying a topcoat, and are thin enough that I can't feel them through the dried polish. You can faintly see the outline of where I trimmed the tattoos, but it's not too obvious. Overall: I am super happy with these sheets! They were a ton of fun to use, and although expensive (you only get two sheets), I would get them again.

I bought this because my kiddo loves both drawing and temporary tattoos, so then I was a little disappointed when all of the instructions were about using an inkjet printer. But we did some experiments, and the good news is that you can make your tattoos freehand with permanent markers, too! We found that you can just draw on the shiny side of the white paper, and then follow the directions as usual. Washable kid markers transferred to the tattoo material successfully, but then the ink came off the tattoo after (say) washing your hands a couple of times. So permanent markers seem to be the best bet. We just stayed away from any writing to avoid having to draw backwards letters. The kit’s instructions are geared toward making a full 8.5 x 11 sheet of tattoos at a time. We settled on holding the two sheets (the green and the white) together and cutting out very roughly 2” squares or rectangles—this way a kid can make just a couple of tattoos at a time, and at least in our house it helped to limit the artworks to a more “standard temporary tattoo” size. Drawing the tattoo in pencil on the white paper before switching to permanent markers can help avoid wasting any of the material. Otherwise we stuck to the instructions: design goes on the glossy side of the white paper, peel the clear plastic layer off of green backing, apply that sticky clear layer on top of your design, and then give a good firm press to rub out any bubbles. Once or twice we picked up a bit of the sticky layer when trying to remove the thin clear film just prior to applying a tattoo, and in those cases just rubbing the plastic firmly a bit more usually fixed it. When you’re about to apply the tattoo the film that comes off should be thin and a little brittle-feeling, just as usual with temporary tattoos. This morning my little one’s off to school with a custom tattoo for a friend (packed in a plastic snack bag), which is super fun!

I used these and followed the steps provided by the program to make tattoo’s for my Trafalgar Law genderbend cosplay. The program was easy to follow and the tattoos came out amazing!! They lasted the whole day and even then some haha, mines came out the perfect size for me Only con for me was how long it took to take them off (front and back 😅). Definitely use an oil-based cleanser to clear them off!! They really can stick on there!

In a nutshell: my friend wants to get matching tattoos and I am, well.....let's put it this way....I faint at the sight of needles. (Yeah, I'm a pansy...) :D With her birthday coming up, I thought it'd be funny to print out the tattoo instead and give it to her. (if you care, she just about died laughing when I gave it to her! LOL) The product itself is GREAT! If you know how to print a document from your computer, you know how to use this. When using, you just have to do these easy steps: 1. Get the image/text you want to use and mirror it. (<--that last one is MUCHO importante!) :D 2. Print it on the white sheet. (Now, I did a test print on a regular piece of paper-not a bad idea to do cause I wanted it a bit bigger.) 3. Peel the clear sheet away from the green sheet and lay it on top of your newly printed (mirrored, RIGHT?!) image/text and rub it onto the image/text. (I used the handle of the scissors I was going to be using - grab anything from a credit card to your TV remote.) 4. Cut out the tattoo how you want it. Annnnnnnnddddd....DONE! 5. To apply: it's just like the ones we all put on as kids. Peel the top clear layer off, put the tattoo upside down on someones skin (make sure you know the person first, cause that'd be weird....) and put a damp rag/paper towel on the white paper (that is now sticking up) and it should slide right off the tattoo. PRESTO! Personally, the end result is fantastic! Just like you would buy at the store. It's not meant to last forever......I think...I THINK....that's what "temporary" means.... ;P Stop thinking about this and buy it! Use it to freak out your parents! Have some fun with it! (Just......don't do a Mike Tyson type with it....that's....that's just bad......)

OVERALL: Great product! Will last you well over a day, even through brushing against people and repeated movement. It was very simple to use. For all my future temporary tattoo needs, I would purchase this product again. PROS: The process to print out a tattoo was very straightforward. I recommend test printing on regular sheets of paper to make sure you know which side your printer will print the image. There is a glossy and a matte side, and you want to print your image on the glossy side. Print it with your printer's photo settings (I didn't and it turned out fine, but it is recommended by the manufacturer). Instructions recommend an inkjet printer, but I used an office laserjet printer and it worked just as well. Once you print your image, wait until the ink has dried and then very carefully apply the adhesive film to the sheet. This is how your tattoo will stick to your skin. With extra help, I was able to do it with minimal air bubbles. Application was a BREEZE. With a damp towel, I applied the tattoo and it transferred to my skin instantaneously. No slip and slide like with some other temporary tattoos. Just make sure your towel is generously soaked with water. Once applied, it was still a little sticky but after airdrying, it didn't budge! CONS: ONLY COMES WITH TWO SHEETS! I thought it came with at least four, which is what I needed, but I didn't read quite as closely as I should have before purchasing. Ended up working out fine for my situation, but for those looking to test print tattoos or have larger pieces they need to print, buy multiple! For a full sleeve application, the paper is stiff. Make sure either with your print or your cut that you account for the curve of your arm. Don't try to apply the full sheet to your arm. Otherwise, it may not apply straight-on. When printing with a laserjet, you may find that upon application, some of your ink will still peel up off the sheet. Spots of my black ink came up when I peeled the plastic film, but it wasn't that noticeable when I applied it to the skin. Also, this thing is really effective at staying put. After a full-day's wear, I went to shower and take it off. Like the directions said, I used warm water and soap. Since I had a full sleeve, I removed it in the shower and used a loofah. It hardly peeled. I had to scrub really hard to get it to start to come off, but since I had a full sleeve, it started to tug at my arm's peach fuzz (which was a little painful). At that point, my arm started to get red. It's been two days and there are still little bits and pieces remaining on my arm.

First off I'd like to start by saying recently the sheets I'm getting come in just a manila envelope with no support. So the sheets I get have hard creases in them. And the Tattoos printed in those areas don't stick. So not happy about how they are shipping them. I've used maybe 20+ sheets of these before. Tattoos print, as well as your printer will print. The Quality of the tattoos has never been affected by the paper itself. Getting the plastic on straight and without air bubbles isn't too difficult. Sometimes I get a good press other times I don't and have a bit of air bubbles. The plastic is sometimes hard to peel off and can rip depending on shape of tattoo, that can be annoying. The Tattoos always seem to transfer fine. Don't think I've ever had one Not transfer. They do wash off very easy though, but you have to realize, you're using an inkjet printer with normal ink. So don't expect them to be waterproof, that's just common sense right there. The sticky residue that is leaves is the worse part. You have to use Alcohol to get it off. The people saying Alcohol didn't work, didn't actually try alcohol. It 100% works. It doesn't just wipe clean off with one swipe, but with alittle cleaning with a cotton ball it comes right off. But it is quite sticky and will want to be removed as soon as the ink has washed off it. All in all it's not a bad product. Is it overpriced? Depends on what you consider overpriced and what the price was at the time. Already printed Temporary tattoos usually look like crap the next day anyways and most people clean them off. Especially if you shower daily. So I don't see the issue with these lasting only a day or not being able to get wet. You have to realize what you are purchasing. And Most kids and naughty wives enjoy the Tattoos enough when they first get them on to make it well worth it. Just my opinion. Again, Do something about the shipping container for them so they don't get creased.

Not good. The ink came off when removing the plastic sheet after following all the rest of the directions and being super excited about how it was going. Once the plastic was removed sections of the darker color were still on the plastic part. Then as soon is the temporary tattoo got wet the color washed away and what was left was just a very tacky sticky area where the clear area was. Fairly easy to use but not effective didn’t last through one shower.

I bought this to make tattoos for my grandson, and it performs admirably. I applied one to my upper arm and it lasted three days (yes, I shower daily), and probably would have lasted longer if I hadn't intentionally removed it (just rub with a wet washcloth to remove). The instructions are a little confusing, however. The confusion arises because the manufacturer assumes that you will be using its "Silhouette SD Digital Craft Cutting Tool (QuicKutz)" [...] to cut out the tattoos, and for that to work, you would need to use their software to print the images with the registration marks the Quickcutz machine requires to detect where to cut. If you want to buy the Quickcutz go ahead -- it looks like a neat product -- but I didn't and it is certainly not necessary unless you plan on going into the commercial removable tattoo business. So, all you really need to do... 1. You can use whatever image editing software you like. Just create a page of images, flip horizontal to produce a mirror image, and print using your inkjet printer's photo paper setting. 2. As described in the instructions, remove the backing from the the clear plastic adhesive sheet, carefully apply to the printed page (avoid bubbles), and rub with a smooth object (piece of wood for example) to ensure the adhesive sticks to the printed page. 3. Cut out the tattoos with scissors or Exacto knife, leaving as little margin as possible. To apply, remove the clear plastic and discard (the adhesive that was on the clear plastic will have transferred to the paper, and absorbed the ink), press firmly into place, cover with a wet cloth for ten or twenty seconds, and remove the paper. The adhesive and ink will have bonded to your skin, and you will have a tattoo that can be distinguished from a real one only on very close inspection.

Good quality priduct. But I think its a bit too costly, might be coz its an american product. But otherwise very well satisfied with the product..

Très simple d’utilisation et explications clair. Utilisé avec mon imprimante Canon. Ne pas oublier de changer le programme « style de feuille » de votre imprimante afin d’avoir une meilleure résultat.

I used this for zarya from overwatch doing her industrial costume for the angel of death tattoo she has, the paper goes on a little weird if you’re not precise after the fact but it does stay on for a while after you put it on (I had to use some heavy duty remover to get it off me but my skin is weird and basically makes everything a part of it 😂) also if you’re wearing it tout in the sun be prepared for the tattoo to leave sun tan lines unless you use sunscreen over it lol 😂

Ich hatte mir die Tattoofolie gemeinsam mit einer Freundin bestellt, weil wir beide unabhängig voneinander unser erstes Tattoo planten. Mithilfe der Folie wollten wir unser jeweiliges Wunschmotiv einige Tage lang so realistisch wie möglich auf der Haut tragen, um herauszufinden, ob es uns wirklich gefällt und wir es ein Leben lang behalten wollen. Nachdem wir die Motive gedruckt hatten (Seite ruhig so voll wie möglich packen, man kann jeden Bogen nur einmal nutzen) und eine kurze Trockenzeit abwarteten, schnitten wir sie aus und platzierten sie sogleich auf der Haut. Der Vorgang selbst funktioniert ebenso gut, wie bei klassischen Klebetattoos: Folie abziehen, Motiv auf der Haut platzieren, mit einem feuchten Tuch abdecken, kurz warten und wenn alles gut durchfeuchtet ist, das Papier entfernen. Optisch hängt die Qualität natürlich grundsätzlich erstmal vom Können des Druckers ab. Ist diese aber gegeben, sieht das Tattoo täuschend echt aus. Nur im Licht erkennt man die glänzende Folie. Auch bei der Haltbarkeit kann man nicht meckern. Sogar Wasserkontakt hält die Folie in gewissem Rahmen aus. Nach einer ausgiebigen Dusche löst sie sich allerdings, bzw. klebt durch das Aufweichen sehr stark. Schützt man das Tattoo hingegen vor starker Feuchtigkeit, bleibt es tagelang ohne Probleme haften. Entfernen lässt sich die Folie grundsätzlich gut, ich würde das jedoch in trockenem Zustand empfehlen. Zieht man sie trocken ab, lässt sie sich ohne Mühe entfernen und hinterlässt keinerlei Reste auf der Haut. Wenn sie aber einmal ordentlich durchnässt wurde, kann man die Folie nicht mehr im Ganzen von der Haut abziehen. Zudem beginnt sie, wie bereits oben beschrieben, unangenehm zu kleben und es bleiben Kleber-/Motivrückstände auf der Haut zurück. Diese lassen sich mit Alkohol/Öl jedoch leicht entfernen. Insgesamt eignet sich die Folie für Klebetattoos sehr gut und man hat je nach Pflegeaufwand einige Tage Freude daran. Ein Tipp noch bei Schriftzügen: Unbedingt spiegelverkehrt ausdrucken, wenn man sie in lesbarer Form auf der Haut tragen möchte. Bei unseren Motiven war die spiegelverkehrte Variante auf der Haut allerdings Absicht ;)

Good
